So the weird power steering noise turned out to be a pump. Which is a shaft driven job, and requires the subframe to be dropped. Sounds like a serious amount of work, is a total hassle, and woudl be damn expensive (dealership cost on parts is somehow $800+, which is unfathomable to me).
Suffice it to say, Audi paid for this one, and while they had my car for 3 days I had the joy of driving a rental Toyota Corolla LE. I can honestly say there is only ONE redeeming quality to this car. Its trunk is massive for a small car, but other than that it is a completely unenjoyable car to drive. I mean, really blaze'. Its not comfortable, the throttle and brakes are horrible, and its gearbox is about as crappy as a gearbox can be. I have to say, little econobox automatic civics dont feel this bad. I NEVER ever want to own one of these cars. Ever.
