Stunning, alright! Great pics! Great background and perfect colour
...although I am a little biased towards Meteor Grey. I am loving that interior!
P.S. Quit your whinging, boys! -34ºC/-28ºF (-44ºC/-47ºF with wind chill) right now!

Drives great but the electrical doesn't like start up too much.
I have received a few headlight and suspension codes upon start up. So far they go away when the car is restarted or driven for a bit.

Close (long)...
I drove every other variant of both the TT AND A3, and from all my experience what I can say is that the A3 2.0T is a very different drive from the TT with the same setup. So you can't really compare the two. However the effect quattro adds to the equation is similar:
The TT weighs 500 pounds less, has a lower center of gravity, and has superior weight distribution. It's a sports car. The A3 is not. So fundamentally you're going to have different driving experiences. But the differences between FWD and AWD for both the A3 and TT have, relatively speaking, some similarities:
With Front Trak the TT skips and hops around a bit more since there's more wheel spin and it's a touch lighter. It's fun in certain situations, especially at moderate speeds and once the car is in motion. However it's also infuriating in other situations since you get embarrassing wheel spin and squealing; especially from a standstill. You also can't push the car to far without risking losing control. But with quattro, the TT is more tossible at higher speeds and way more securewith more aggressive maneuvers.
I prefer the quattro TT. Faster to 60 mph (5.9 sec vs. 6.1 sec), you can floor it from a standstill without wheel spin, and you can take a corner aggressively without spinning out of control. The price you pay is slight sense that it's not as light on its feet. Totally worth it IMO.
