Replying to: andres3 (Aug 10, 2007 2:46 pm) what about Toyota?   I have no personal experience w Toyota ownership, apparently the guy wants something that offers a little more of a driving experience. Replies to this message: andres3 (Aug 10, 2007 2:52 pm)

Replying to: andys120 (Aug 10, 2007 2:49 pm) I wouldn't mind test driving one of those old Toyota Supra's.

Consumers Union found the A3 average in reliability, and it's recomended by them. JDPOWERS found Audi in general below average, but superior to Volkswagon (a model of which the A3 is based on).   What may be more important to you is the quality of the local Audi dealership. In some parts of the USA there are very few (Portland OR is served by __one__ dealer).   I enjoyed my brief time driving an A3 S-line model, but would want good roads and clear skies to drive it.

Shippo, at #2131, suggests Castrol Syntec 5W40 is junk. Why? Replies to this message: andres3 (Aug 30, 2007 12:53 pm) shipo (Aug 30, 2007 5:16 pm)

Replying to: gismo23 (Aug 30, 2007 12:08 pm) I don't think he meant to imply it was junk; just that it is inferior to Mobil 1's 0W-40.

Replying to: gismo23 (Aug 30, 2007 12:08 pm) Junk? No. Inferior to Mobil 1 0W-40 and Castrol Syntec 0W-30? Absolutely.   Why? The Syntec 5W-40 is just a Group III hydrocracked crude oil and not a true synthetic (and as such it only meets the minimal VW 502.00 oil spec), meanwhile 0W-40 and 0W-30 oils are a full Group IV PAO based synthetic (that also meet the far more stringent VW 503.01 oil spec).   I hope this helps.   Best Regards, Shipo
#2165 of 2279 Storage compartment in the front seats of A3 by sonyvaio Sep 02, 2007 (7:40 am)
I just bought a 2007 Audi A3 with premimum package. From the manual of A3, it seems that there are two storage compartments in both front seats. But I only found one in the passenger seat of my A3, while no one in the driver seat. I am not sure if it is because my car has premimum package which includes power driver seat. Can anyone confirm with it? How many storage compartments in the front seats are in your A3? Thanks a lot! Replies to this message: ngs (Sep 05, 2007 11:32 pm)

Replying to: sonyvaio (Sep 02, 2007 7:40 am) I have been driving the 2007 a3 for 13 months now, and No there is no compartment under the driver's seat. I have the premium package too.
