1999 Audi A3 T Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Great car all round"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight problem engaging second gear when cold, solved by dealer using synthetic oil.
One rear speaker developed a fault (Bose hi-fi fitted), which was replaced by dealer.
General comments?
Excellent car all round.
My wife had one also (same model, 6 months older), but her car suffered a couple of problems and felt an awful lot slower than mine.
Had a race from the lights with an M3 once and he only got past when we hit 60! There must be something wrong with my car, but whatever it is they all should have it!
Only wish is that traction control was available when I bought it.
After 66,000 miles I still have 2 original tyres (thanks Michelin), same exhaust, clutch and brakes - not bad!
