They're a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing over here, a really well sorted car tho without to much of the "look at me".

TT not much more tho so most opt for one of them.
There is a stigma against hatchbacks in the US (though it does appear to be waning). I love hatchbacks personally - I've had a couple GTIs and an A3 now. The S3's price in the US would also be quite high - over $40K US when you consider a TT-S will be $45K (and I bought my Cayman for $46K). Again, I would still spend the money on an S3 - I appreciate the look, the size, the practicality, and the relative exclusivity.

I prefer the 5 door to the 3 door personally.

I have enjoyed every minute of owning my VW Golf (5 door) - What other compact car can you take 12 (plus DD) university students to the bar in?

We also have done hundreds of Cottage/Montreal trips with 4 people, and all their equipment/beer/food no problem...well...There was the stripper incident, but thats for another day...
