I had to share this with you guys. I just got delivery of the car in the subject line today! It is absolutely outstanding.
The power is incredible. Very smooth with hardly any turbo lag and the gear-box is just incredible. There is just no noticeable time between gear changes!
The flappy paddle gear changers on the steering wheel are brilliant with a very quick response when changing up or down gears.
If you haven't already tried one, I highly recommend a test drive of this car asap. The 3 door seems a little better than the sport back. Not sure why, but it seemed to handle better.
For info, Audi are changing the design of the front grill in a couple of months to match the rest of the Audi range and with it, the steering wheel will also be changed. I prefer the current wheel and grill design on the A3 3 door, so decided not to wait for the updated model and as a result, I got an absolutely fantastic deal.
Go and have some fun!
Cheers, Neil
