Nice to know you could have a manual trans with an Audi, I can add it to my wish list, thanks.
If you like the look, you can have the mini me of it, a.k.a Audi A3.

What? No manual with thw AWD option? I thought it was only for the 328d... and you can not find any 328d manual anyway.
If that was me, I would prefer to drop the AWD to get a manual, it is higher in my priority list.
Since size does not seem to matter to you, what do you think of the 2-Series? It seems to be more of a BMW than the last generation of 3-Series from what I read.
If only we could get the 1-Series here... why only the coupes? You know BMW, father with young children love nice cars too!!
Well size does kind of matter. You can never buy too BIG of a car IMO. The A3 and 2-series are just too small IMO. Although I have driven the 1-series with a manual and that was a fun car, just really small. The A3 is priced almost in A4 territory, and I just don't like the dimensions of it. It's like a clown car version of the A4, or a Jetta dressed up in its Sunday best. Not for me.
