I got the "basic" A3 model, however it feels much more luxurious than any equivalent car for the same price. Performance wise, excellent acceleration, even in the top gear (I got the manual transmission, which I prefer) without hesitation. Driving in the highway, feels very firm and responsive. I had driven though pouring rain, with excellent control and traction. In a hot sunny day, the AC works nicely and quite. The sound system, of which I have also the basic one, is excellent. In combination with a very quite interior, you can really enjoy a classic music at 90 mph. Gas consumption is surprisely low in the highway. The driver seat is very comfortable, I am average size, height, weight, and feel very nice in the driving position even after 6 hours of highway.
Perhaps the only item that I miss is the sunroof, otherwise the A3 2.0T is a very good and fun car to drive.
