I use my S3 to commute to work everyday, 60 miles a day and it costs me a full tank a week driving sensible.
I don't think you will see a massive difference in running costs between the honda and the Audi and no doubt the Audi will cost more when it breaks.
I'd get a MK4 GTTDI or something personally and save for your toy next year.

I am refering to the older systems - I think some improvments have been made to the newer models
I still dont think the S3 warrents 4wd but I am sure its better than the older S3's and TT systems

they're not even expensive to fix, same motor across lots of different cars. i cant see the tt costing more than the skoda to fix unless its for bodywork parts. same to run, i can't imagine it costing anymore

agreed, but the tt shocks do have a premium, and the v6 brake disks are
