Consumer Review

Okay, so I just bought my new A3 3. 2 AWD Quattro today after driving the Volvo S40 T5 and the Acura TL-S. The Volvo was nice, but not in the same class, and the Acura was a great car, but a bit bigger than I wanted. The Audi is an awesome car. So much fun. Some folks say that the power gain in the 3. 2 isn't worth the increased price. My feeling (having driven both) is that the 3. 2 provides a much more steady power (no lag) and is better suited to the AWD. I felt the same way when I chose my VW GTI VR6 over the 1. 8T a few years back. Steady power from the very low RPMs. Beyond that, the build quality is great, the nav system is awesome, and I'm smiling!

Positive

Style, roomy, options galore available, great sound system for a stock radio, clean dash, quiet ride, very very responsive for compact car.Suggested Improvements
Door panels rattled down bumpy roads from day one. Never got great mileage but it was well worth it.
