I have rejected audi on the grounds of Dullness - I have been disappointed by TTs in the past.

forester is a good shout, I have had one before - could try an impreza I suppose. One of the local dealers has an outback with the 3.0 engine which might be interesting, although it hasn't got a towbar....
