The Audi is actually a hard act to follow. The interior aesthetic and build quality is superior in the A3. And it is the best FWD car I've ever driven. It does understeer at the extreme, but turn-in is very quick and with the sport suspension it is surprisingly flat in the turns. The 2.0T engine is a winner as well.
The Subie wins with the AWD though, and you can feel the extra grunt that the 2.5 gives down low, and it doesn't seem to run out of breath. It rides a tad higher than the A3 but turns in just as quickly. There is more body roll with the Subie, but the AWD keeps it very composed in turns. This is all not really pushing the car though...it'll be interesting to get it out at Streets and see how it does.
