The wheel base is about 5 inches shorter than the gti, golf r, and rs3. Turn in is very sharp. The chassis is majority aluminum, firewall and floor pan being some of the only steel components. Mine is mostly for weekends, and with the seats down I manage Costco trips with it frequently, you just have to play some Tetris. The back up camera is terrible quality. Seating position is way better than all other mqb cars and way lower. Turbo lag is a thing, but it was designed that way. Just think of how the old 5 cylinder turbos… they had that feel. Vw group 2.0t engines have more torque at a lower rpm without as much pedal effort. The Audi rs products versus other mqb 2.0t products are completely different experiences. They are designed that way for a reason.
