1996 Audi A3 Ambition review from Germany
"Doesn't fullfil the expectations."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The display of the board computer is not working well.
Every 2-3 months I have to change some light.
General comments?
The air conditioning has a strange logic: you can't fix the air flow, after ten minutes the car changes the speed to its "optimal" speed.
The accessibility to the rear seats is poor (on the 3 doors version), compared to other cars.
It's a good car, with an extremely unfair assistance network (it's definitely too expensive).
