| “There's A Reason Its Nick-named 'the Rocket'!” Reviewing:
2006 Used Audi A3 2.0T 4dr Wagon w/automatic
OEM Xenon headlight housing with SPP 6K 50W HID kit
Pros —
Great engine. The little turbo does it's job for what it is and doesn't disappoint, especially after a chip install. With the sport package and only springs, the car is surprisingly stiff and handles amazingly.
Cons —
Front wheel drive is okay but quattro would obviously be ideal since you can only throw so much extra power into a front wheel drive car before all you get is wheel spin. Stock brakes are weak sauce, upgrade is needed especially if doing many track days and/or auto-crosses. You can get by on race pads...but still...usually can't make it through a whole lap session due to brake fade.

| “Audi A3 - Rocks!” Reviewing:
2006 Used Audi A3 2.0T 4dr Wagon w/automatic
The DSG gearbox is fantastic. I love my padde shifters. I got the Sport package and so benefit greatly as far as handling goes, from good wheels and racing suspension. Get this car - although it's on the high end of pricing, I recommend it completely.

| “That Paddle Shift Gearbox Is Amazing” Reviewing:
2006 Used Audi A3 2.0T 4dr Wagon w/automatic
my black a3 is very black. none of this metallic or pearlescent paint, just good old solid black. i bought this car brand new because it worked out even cheaper than a golf GTi because VW wouldn't discount the car. basically they are the same car with different suspension settings. a golf is probably better to drive, but 95% of the time trundling back and to from work, ain't gonna make much difference. i opted for the paddle shift gearbox so my wife could drive and it is a revolution in gearbox design. changes gear instantly like F1 racing cars. handling would be better if it weren't for those pirelli tyres. i don't like pirelli tyres, they give up to easily and are poor wet weather tyres. i added a lot of options onto to car when new thinking i would keep this car for a long time. over 2 grands worth and that doesn't include the paddle shift gearbox. it ain't the best hot hatch, it ain't the fastest, but it does everything what the best can do but just lacks that final 5 or even 10%. all it needs is a slighter sportier exhaust, a change of head unit, and an engine chip. i'm happy with the car, maybe not the best but 95% of the time, it's good enough for me.
Pros —
size is sufficient for my needs, paddle shift gearbox.
Cons —
louder exhaust please, doesn't feel fast (though, when you look at the speedo, you're well past the national limit!!)

| “Stock... For Now” Reviewing:
2006 Used Audi A3 2.0T 4dr Wagon w/manual
2 liter turbo, 6spd man., who can ask for more
Pros —
space, good basic performance, decent mpg,
Cons —
to me nothing... but i could use some modifications
|
| “Too Expensive For What It Is” The car is not bad, but not worth the extra cost over other cars of the same size.
Pros —
handling is pretty good considering the aga in front of the headlamps.
Cons —
price, engine
|
| “Proper High Quality Build As With All The Big Audi's, But Still Fast, Fun And Smooth.” 2 litre TFSi engine is a real gem for a little hot hatch. Really high build quality and still fast for a hot hatch, close to full power comes in at 1500rpm and keeps giving till the 7000rpm limiter, real fun. Ride is on the hard side but with it comes excellent handling and stability.
Pros —
Flexible engine with fruity exhause note, fast, top build quality, looks
Cons —
small fuel tank at 55 litres, hard ride, expensive for 3 door hatch.

2006 Used Audi A3 2.0T 4dr Wagon w/manual
Read my other stuff
Pros —
Great gas mileage, it's a hatchback, the zippiest thing I've driven in a long time, two sunroofs
Cons —
The sport Package seats are a little on the stiff side. Love them during curves, but hate getting in and out of the car.
