And then, I will be able to give you my truely impartial thoughts on how a Audi A4 3.0 Quattro Sport compares with a Vauxhall (there, I said it again!) Vectra GSi! ...

Can't speak for the new model 3.0 A4, but based on my "old-shape" 2.8 Quattro, and a V6 Vectra CDX (standard 170bhp version, & a lovely engine, BTW) I had some time back, there is no comparison. The Vectra has a more effective climate control system & the 10-speaker hi-fi is better than the standard Audi Concert system, but after that, the Vectra is sh!te all the way, IMHO. The handling & ride are shocking, the interior is badly designed, finished in cheap, shoddy materials (that "wood" is like sucked toffee!) & badly put together. Nice V6 engine apart, I hated it & couldn't wait to get rid. I actually replaced it with an A4 1.8 (non-T) Automatic, whioch was too slow, hence the 2.8 Quattro I know have. The Audi is class on a stick, whichever model you get.
