Sort of bummed as I was thinking this was going to be my next vehicle.
My new/2008 S hauls @$$ and put it in Sport Mode and the 4.2 really takes off. Can’t even imagine what a TT would feel like. The 6 is not what you want for mo powa.

Driving impressions: compared to my usual cars, SC, 914, Jetta, this thing weighs ton or two and a half. It is a real momentum mobile going downhill. It corners relatively well considering how high the center of gravity is. The ride is firm but not uncomfortably so. Lots of creature comforts from Bose to heated steering wheel and proximity sensors. At this point, my $15K for a 65K Miles SUV with immaculate interior and paint the is an 8.5 was a good deal.
