Audi A4 Avant 1.8T 190 - any owners out there?

I'm considering one of these as my next purchase - any current/previous owners out there care to share their thoughts on the car?

I'm looking at the S Line 1.8T version - think they look really good with the S Line kit and the 18" alloys especially

I bought an A4 Avant 2.0 FSI-Turbo qtr 6 months ago, it is the special edition which has S-Line, black headlining 18" wheels and 220bhp - Black with privacy glass, it looks fantastic. Very happy with it, but would not buy a FWD car with this much power, so it had to be quattro. Bought mine new but there are a few ex-demos flying around now, so try haggling a bit - you should get £2k off if your timing is right. Build quality is hard to believe, and it is so much more classy that all the 3-series out there. Plus the light petrol lump steers a lot better than the 3.2 V6 or 3.0TDI - both of which I drove. The 2.0T is a better engine than the 1.8T though - FSI improves economy and performance plus it is more flexible.... stretch to the 2.0T if you can - you'll be rewarded come re-sale time.
