No, but I think the IIHS rating is a more intense test that better reflects a vehicles safety crash worthiness.

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.

The '08s are in. I have had mine for about 2 weeks. I purchased it in N. VA. It is a great car.

Based on my 22K mile experience so far with my A3 that I've had since April of last year, I'd say you have nothing to worry about.
 
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.

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.
