2006 Audi A3 review from North America
"This car is amazing in all ways, it will save you gas yet give you the ride of your life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far except the window in the back was not going down or up in the back, the dealer ordered the part and in a week it was here. They installed it in an hour.
General comments?
If you are looking for a car with a lot of power and handling you will like the a3. The front of it is just amazing, I love mine. The one thing I wanted was quatro it was not offered in the 2.0 when I bought it. Traction control on the car is exceptional. Try not to pass up the 6 speed manual. The clutch is so easy and first time stick drivers will be able to get used to it quickly.
For all you power addicts out there... revo offers a chip that will get your 2.0 260hp and 299 pounds of torque. I will be getting mine next week.
