I don't see it as a direct replacement for my A2 16v. I see it as a great car that I personally have been waiting for and worth parting with my beloved 16v. I have always wanted an all wheel drive VW in the A platform since I saw the first synchro golfs. I don't need the fastest car out there. The car is very technically advanced in many areas and for the price you get a lot of car. You may see otherwise. I am in no way defending my feelings for the car just providing my view point.
As far as not doing well in the CAR article. The authors picked it as the best all around car of the bunch. BTW, it was the Alfa 147 GTA.
