2001 Audi A3 review from Germany
"A nice first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission cover tears easily. The bumpers need to be replaced even after a minimal collision.
General comments?
The car looks good, and its great for city driving. On the highways it can get up to decent speeds, but it is slow to get there and its best to have a nice stereo to cover the noise of the engine. Indeed the biggest drawback of this car is the noise of the engine. The cabin is roomy and stylish.
