My personal pick is the FWD.  AWD carries the extra wieght without
giving enough back in return.  I think the Audi "fix" has a big impact
as well, and a "non-fixed" car is much better set up.  The TT represents
a tidy package, IMO, and it's the package that counts more than the
individual numbers.

You asking a car slut if he want a seat????  If I can get out there this
year, I would love to try the AWD.  I have a little experience in a
pre-recall FWD car and found it to be quite potent.  I'll let you know,
thanks!!
