To for it I say!! I find the 320 nippy enough but will definitely look at the 330 in 3-4 years!!!
Hi Andy,

Thanks for chipping in. This sounds very interesting. I'm kind of in the same place as Derek in that I've always enjoyed a well-sorted RWD car for how it behaves through bends and coming out of them. Is there still plenty of feel and a sense that you could get the back a little wide, or does the front let go first?

Re traction, I'm not that interested in the bad weather side. I've taken the plunge on winters this year and they're great but those conditions apply here in the South West for a maximum of 2 weeks per year. What does the car feel like if you boot it really hard coming out of a 30 or 4mph roundabout?

Sorry for all the questions, but I've just been so put off 4WD by the Audis I've driven :-)

Thanks
Dave
