A3 3.2 Quattro
Discussion
I'm looking for a replacement for my BMW 330ci, and since I recently found that the 911 I wanted didn't fit, today I test drove an A3 3.2 Quattro. The power delivery and grip available made me laugh and I was genuinley shocked at the performance (I had a sore neck afterwards!!!!).
Does anything much go wrong with these?
I would only consider a manual car (I'm a luddite and dont want paddle shift) and I notice the TT is available with the same engine, is the 3.2 TT available in manual? And is the main difference between the A3 and TT practicality?
Cheers folks.

The fuel economy (if you can call it that!) isint really a problem, I don't do many miles and currently have a 3 litre BMW.
The DSG just dosen't appeal to me at all, I rarely drive in traffic and find changing gear quite satisfying!
I've been reading up, is the Halidex 4wd just front wheel drive untill things start to slip? And is the system in the A4/S4 different?
I think I need to try a TT if I can find one with a manual box. I might as well try to find an S4 too....

TT is out, cant get in comfortably due to steering wheel and roof being too low.
The A3 looks a little sensible as I really wanted something loopy, but I do agree about the handling of the A3, I did find it really fun.
If I can get over the stealth looks the A3 might be about ideal as a practical fun car.
I'm trying to find a V8 S4 to have a look at, I think they fit into the totally daft catagory!

I found the throttle to be fairly sensitive, as the BMW one is damped. I went for a gap in traffic as I left the showroom and just about ended up in the back seat!
I can't really fault theway they drive though, the only things I had problems with would just take more driving time to get used to and forget.
