I've only driven mine through 1 winter, the original P6's were terrible winter tires.Had no problems, using "andys120" advice above  I live in north central Pa, so our winters can be mild or harsh....latley they've been mild.Winter tires obviously is a good idea, which i haven't been using. I can walk to work if needed, so i don't get too excited about it.

Replying to: sunilb (Dec 06, 2007 7:44 pm) I'm really (really) reluctant to go FWD & haven't even been to the (really crappy, BTW) Audi dealer (count all the way to one, by the way, in the entire Phoenix metropolitan area) to pick up brochures for the A3 & A4. . .yet. But I will. I may, after consideration, have to hold my nose and end up driving an A3/4 or (worse yet) an Acura Tsx, once I allow FWD into my decision matrix. I will be driving a different car a year from now. I've been driving the one I've got for 7.5 years. I can't get exactly what I want, and I'm reluctant to "settle." Bring me a 3-series diesel with a manual. I could even work with an A3 or A4 with a diesel. Or, (credit to C. Shutz) I could flap my arms and fly to the moon. Stay tuned.

Sadly, I face the same situation in Portland - only one mediocre Audi dealer for roughly 150 miles (2nd nearest one to me in Oregon is in Bend). That, and Audi's refusal to let USA customers have Quattro with the 2.0, killed whatever interest I had in purchasing the A3. I wish VW and Audi USA would wake up, combine dealers, and make it easier to get support for these cars.

I am 18 and although i might sound like an extremely new driver to some, i am a skilled one and my mom is offering to buy me a new car. yesterday my mom and i took a visit to the audi dealer (she is also looking at a new car) and i noticed the A3 2.0T. i think it is a nice looking, fast, well equipped car. my other main choice is a VW GLI. i also wouldn't mind driving a nissan 350z or a honda s2000 either, just for fun though. my choice rests on driving feel, comfort, extras, and performance of the manual transmission. any ideas? Philip
