only problem is my family is not the biggest fan of Audi.... :undecided:

Why?  VW and Audi are effectively the same company, sharing the same R&D and resources.  For example, the Mk5 Golf and the current Audi A3 are built on the same chassis floorpan, share identical running gear (engines, gearboxes, suspension, etc).  They just have a different body style.  Audi are better built, with better quality fit and finish, and generally have slightly better toys inside (Audi uses the RNS-E SatNav, whereas VW use a slightly different, lesser quality one - RNS-MFD, I think!).

Really? I thought they just shared certain parts. Didnt quite know that the A3 and GTI had so much in common :shocked:

Anything else they share? RS4 and GTI I mean?
