The 08's are not bad, but I think the newer style is so so looking. I loved the style of the 04's way much better. I almost bought an 04 for 28k brand new, but decided to hold off on buying one. A week later they were all sold out and the used prices went up to 30-34k. I still can not believe how well the 04 held it's book value so high for so long.

I have not driven an 08, but the couple 04's I have driven were a ton of fun and it's a car that you wanna drive and not get out. The engines were the nastiest sounding 6 bangers I have ever heard, especially with a modded exhaust.

The 08's only come in auto DSG and did not come in 6 speeds and that was a bummer. I know 2 people who have them and they love them.

They handle superb!
