"There is something undeniably counter-intuitive about sitting behind the wheel of an estate car and having your neck velcro'd to the headrest by the g-forces. And because it's an Audi and the engine has been hand-built down the years by generations of Bavarian craftsmen, or thereabouts, the car performs its astonishing feats of acceleration with perfect ease and an almost sinister level of quiet. You depress the accelerator and hear nothing but the engine's uncomplaining murmur of assent, and the soft thud of your pet's head hitting the back window."<ul><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/wheels/story/0,3605,974078,00.html">Click here for full article</a></li></ul>

Too bad the 3.0 and 1.8T are such a far cry from this...I guess they aren't hand crafted?
