I must admit I'm beginning to wonder why some of you purchased the A3 in the first place. The Audi badge perhaps. Most of what people are saying they don't like I found out about long before I purchased the car. If I had a list as long as some I would never have purchased a current A3. Also quite a lot of the problems I don't suffer from because of the model I chose, a Sport with only the options I wanted rather than an the more common S-Line.
