Hi Monkeyhanger, i was after the S-tronic (DSG), really enjoy punching the accelerator and keeping 2 hands on the steering wheel.
The A3 184 is front wheel drive + manual, or quattro + s-tronic only, so only 2 choices there.
VirginVWman, of course Audi will tell you there are no deals, mine told me twice there was NO dealer discount but eventually they did. Use carwow, find the dealers who will discount, VW or Audi, and if your local dealer wants an easy deal, they will discount to price match with these.
The S3 looks amazing, and my TDIQ isn't far off the price, but i know i'll get fed up filling up an S3 every week.
Me109, yes, i agree the looks are very conservative on the A3, but with the LED's and the S-line kit, gives it a nice stance, the GTD i think will always look more aggressive, even more than the new Golf R.
Theflash, lol.
