mine is an 09 3.2 with the titanium package. I have had it for 6 months and absolutely love it! Haven't found a single problem or negative side with the car!

 

^^ nice color combo!

 

I have owned both the A3 and GTI twice. If you want all wheel drive the audi is your only choice and I would reccomend it. If you are getting it in front wheel drive or a diesel variant the price difference over the golf isn't even close to worth it IMO. I particularly feel this way about the GTI vs 2.0T A3. The GTI is the better, cheaper car all around.

 

I don't think you'll have any luck finding a dealer who will go below MSRP. These things are hot tickets now.
