"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

yeah, for 2010, but no quattro, only fwd..  :-/

basically it's an Audi Golf

however, the really nice thing about the new TDIs is the boffo tax credit you get from Uncle Sam

that would be a deal killer.
dont get me wrong, i like the audi  line up, but the quattro is the selling point for me. [bang]
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

i just went to Audi UK and built my A3.
at the current exchange rate, it came in just under 33k

never ceases to amaze me...........for non us models, there are so many more choices (fabric seats, engine/transmission combos)

dammit!

I really like our GTI and it's great in the snow, however the 2.0T would be so much better as AWD. I bet it'd shave a half second of it's 0-60 and quarter mile times as even with sticky tires, there's just too much grunt down low to hook up properly with just the front wheels.
Same thing would have to apply to it's cousin with the 5k facelift, the A3.

I think the A3's are great cars I've on seen a few common problems with them and they would all be covered under warranty.  The newer 2.0t is a really nice engine and you could always go for the 3.6FSI V6.  The 3.6 A3's float.  Of course the quattro is awesome and the DSG transmissions are very fun and shift like a manual.

For '09 the A3 is available as a four or a six, both are available in Quatro.  My too concerns with the A3 in the US would be dealer quality and the lack of sales in the US.  I do wish Audi would follow Subaru's lead and only make all wheel drive.

I guess I have been fortunate. I have had good luck with the quality as well as the number of VW dealers near by...
