 Torque steer is nearly absent, dive/squat is absent.  Nice power, but could probably use another 30hp. Good pulling power down low for a turbo.  Turbo lag is absent. DSG needs to be revised so that it holds the gear at redline in manual mode. Brakes are intially soft which dosen't inspire much confidence.  However, the car is extremely well balanced for a front wheel drive car and is very, very fun to drive.  Rear cup holders are useless and frail.  Otherwise the interior is very thoughtfully organized.  Needs MP3 aux. input in base stereo.
