You are in the Audi A3 Forum. Your Host is kcram
does anyone know why the A3 doesn't have a NHTSA crash rating (front or side impact) for either the '06 or '07 model? I didn't see any ratings for the A3 on their website.

I plan to buy the "Base Carrier Bars" roof rack system to my 2006 Audi A3 and wonder what you guys think about it. I plan to use it for two bikes (I know that I have to buy two bike carriers). Is it easy to use? B.t.w I love my A3. Thanks, /Kenneth |

| Anyone know when the new model year typically comes out? I've never shopped Audi before, but I'm falling into mad love with the A3. '07 stock seems very limited. | |
dealer told me last week that alot of his a3's are at the port in baltimore now. he gave me no timetable as to when he would have them however. i really didn't ask.

Thanks for the information. I've seen the post about changes for '08. Any change in the colors? |

Replying to: jondc212 (Aug 09, 2007 3:12 pm) How long do you intend on keeping your Audi A3 if you buy one? If you are easily worried, get an extended warranty. I'm not worried at all, it has been flawless mechanically and electrically. It's been more reliable than my '03 Accord Coupe, to be honest, and that was pretty reliable. However, if I was betting on which one would reach 300,000 miles and 20 years of use, I'd bet on the Honda. The way I look at it is this: it is a high performance machine and it will need a greater level of care and maintenance. Just put aside $100 a month for maintenance and repair that you'll use when and if needed. For instance, at 20,000 miles I just spent about $550 for 4 new high performance tires; I drive aggressively and go out on back country windy roads for fun occassionally. |

Replying to: jondc212 (Aug 09, 2007 3:12 pm) I took an A4 Avant up to 123K with not a single major problem and very few minor ones, the worst being a bad auxiliary fan motor. All things considered my Audi ran as well or better than anything I've owned in 40+ years of car ownership and that in cludes a couple of long term relationships with Hondas.
