A3 Cab (well its the same engine, chassis, drivetrain..)

[NewGolf]

Apologies for posting here, but after half a day in the new A3 cab, it looks like thats going to become our/(her) second car. The GTI still takes pride of place on the drive mind you, and if the A3 comes with the RS4 wheels then the only way she gets them back is by taking the wheel wrench from my cold, dead hand!

The engine seems to be the same 2.0T FSI, same DSG, extra S Line spec, same dimensions as the GTI (v Close) and front wheel drive. It feels, drives and performs the same as the GTI, apart from the roof pops down in 9 secs.

Does anyone have any opinions of it, or pics of the red S Line with the RS4 wheels, or have test driven and like or dislike it? I might get away with posting here as its a "sister" to the GTI, and may start up a portable hairdressing service 

Cheers chaps 

Oh and can it be Remapped the same ? !!!

Cheeky "£$% t%&tchap!

I have a full head of hair and no doubts about my sexuality! I dont drive it, its not even ordered yet!

However, I did have a lotta fun when owning a TT Roadster. Had to have the bonnet resprayed twice. Seriously.

Damn those pocket rivets on female Diesel Jeans......

If its for your miss'es then its ok but if its secretly for you then its a NO NO (c'mon be honest, is it for you?).

What i've noticed is that women appreciate cabbys but real men (who know about motors) appreciate GTI's
Its very highly unlikely that you will get a women telling you that you drive a nice car when your in a GTI (unless she knows about cars), but you will get alot of men telling you its a nice car.

Women love convertables regardless of what make it is or whos driving it. Its just something thats imbedded in their DNA. Personally, my driving comfort and taste comes before a womens idea of a nice car

Its not for me, Honest! I use and love the GTI! Its going to be her car with me driving it once a month to fill it up then clean it. 

And its true, the fairer sex love the soft tops...

I knew it was going to be dodgy posting this here LMAO

My missus owns a Tigra - and most of time I use it I drive with the roof down (only if she's in the seat next to me!!)

Shes just ordered a new BMW 1 Series Cab - so no doubt it'll be the same too.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to 'grow through' my hair too - so cut it with a No1 clipper every week.  Yet another baldy driving a convertible - GUILTY!!!!  

[NewGolf]

Its not for me!!!!!!!!

Unless the suns out, its clean and full of fuel.

And the neigbours daughter needs a lift somewhere...

Sorry about the previous post - I couldn't resist

Seriously, the A3 is a good car and well built (I had an A3 TDI Sport). I'd have a word with the dealer to get some assurances that it isn't going to have a revision to the front like the A3 will be doing later this summer.

With regards to remapping, it can be treated just the same as the GTI.
