2000 Audi A3 review from South Africa
"High performance hot hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had no problems.
General comments?
This is by far the best car I've ever owned. the turbo injected engine is good for 200 kilometres with 0 to 100
in about 8 seconds.
I found the car a bit to low to the ground and got quiet a sickening feeling
after a while. The air-conditioning makes you fell like you're in a freezer.
The cars has a long list of standard features including power steering anti lock brakes, dual zone climate control and central locking with imobiliser/alarm system key.
