    About to order a new S3 !! open sky ???

    I've not got a clue if its 3 or 5 door only, but I've got it on my 5 door. I really like it as it looks good (mine is a white car), and makes the inside feel a bit more spacious. Only the front panel moves though so its just about getting more natural light in the car.

    A3 handling

    I went from an Exige to my A3. You've got to remember its not a sportscar, but it is very good at doing the job I think it was made for - very comfortable, quick in a straight line, pretty practical etc. If your after something sporty get a 2 seater or a renaultsport

    S3 vs new Ford Focus RS?

    If I was in the market for a 3 door I'd go for the RS over the S3 - sorry. From the reviews it looks like it drives well, it looks stupid good, comes in a toxic green colour, has a great exhaust note, and just seems to be more nuts than an S3. Mind you if I didn't need 5 doors there would be...

    After your a3...

    Although I love my A3, I have to agree - my exige was amazing. I had to change as a baby is on the way, but I'm really glad I owned one. Still, it's nice to still be fast even if it is just in a straight line ;)

    After your a3...

    I've only just got my A3 so not really thought about it much. However, I guess I'll buy another car in a couple of years so... I've always wanted an Atom - so maybe a 160, or a Lotus 2-11 or if I decide to be a bit more practical and replace the A3... BMW X6 / Nissan GTR (depending on residules)

    Common Audi's

    2nd hand VW Phaeton? They are pretty inexpensive when you consider that they are in essence a Bentley with a different body shell. Megane F1? More powerful A3 / S4? I've driven the Astra VXR and thought it was great fun. The corsa VXR was even more fun though and very chuckable around corners...

    black edition wheels - what PSI?

    Ahh of course - I stupidly hadn't thought about car weight. They are still 18s so will just go with the recommended pressures. Thanks

    black edition wheels - what PSI?

    I wondered if anyone could tell me the correct PSI for the tyres on a black edition A3? I got Audi to fit them instead of the standards, but I presume the info on the inside of petrol cap isn't now correct. Can anyone tell me what they should be for a light load? Mark

    A3 3.2 Quattro Sport Questions

    I can't comment much on what to look for etc as mine was nearly new when i got it from Audi so I didn't do much research. However, day to day running so far is great. The commute is an absolute pleasure due to the combination of creature comforts, seat comfort and DSG box. I just cruise into...

    Flappy padal / bluetooth questions - new owner

    Hi there, I picked up my A3 this week and was hoping someone might be able to help... 1. Is there a way to change into manual flappy padal mode without changing the gear. To engage manual mode I am pulling a padal, but it then changes gear, when I actually want to stay in that gear. 2. Is...
