2000 Audi A3 Sport review from UK and Ireland
"My silver dream racer riding the roads of reality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both front tires wore down to the canvas after 26,000 miles because the steering was out of alignment.
The air mass meter was replaced after 27,000 miles, under warranty, due to poor engine performance when the engine was cold.
The driver's seat has developed an irritating rattle which cannot be traced.
General comments?
The car handles extremely well on any road surface.
It was supplied with climate control at the time of purchase. This has proved to be an important addition to the smooth running and comfort of the car, regardless of the weather conditions outside.
