Great car, however I think the Audi A3 is due for a design refresh. For some reason, it's always looked like a shrunken station wagon to my eye. The Golf R is better looking. If only it had 335 HP.
I've owned a few Mercedes-Benz over the years, however my friend's 2009 CL63 AMG is the finest automobile I've ever driven. Since my current lifestyle doesn't require grand entrances to red-carpet events, I'm quite happy to drive a GTI.
I have another friend who lives in the Hollywood Hills...
A pristine 2008 R32 with 20,000 miles just arrived at the dealership where I work. Contact me for details.
