Ill have to disagree.
Your 329 lbs heavier than me, 2 inches longer, same width, and a inch lower.
The package 2 GTI is tons nicer than the base a3. I was going to buy the a3 but a 5k market up with less features than the GTI and no HIDs is kinda crazy personally. To each his own I guess. I probably should have waited another 3-4 months and spring for the 3.2q a3.
I just got chipped and let me tell you our 2.0Tfsi loves it and begs for more. I am quite happy with the 2.0T its fairly quick and gets 30mpg.
