2001 Audi A3 review from South Africa
"A average performance car with high levels of comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first time we washed the car, with a running hose, normal pressure, it wouldn't start after wards. The car was towed away by "Audi Assist", but the dealer said he did not find any fault with the car. I suspect that they did find the problem, and that they corrected it, because the problem did not occur again.
General comments?
The level of ride comfort is fantastic; the seats are comfortable, the ride is feather soft, and there is very little engine and wind noise audible.
