Common problem with the P6 tires on the premium packaged A3's. Everyone seems to hate those tires unilaterally.
 
YET ANOTHER reason to opt for the sport package to avoid the dreadful P6 tires.

cdnpinhead... any update on your quest? I test drove one of these when they first came out and didn't care for it too much, but I'm going to go for another test drive this weekend (wife wants me to get rid of my manual transmission car, and DSG sounds like a worthy replacement... plus, we've always wanted a wagon/hatch).

No news, so far.
 
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.

they need more dealers by kurtamaxxxguy

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.

If you buy it, they will come. Get your fellow Oregonians to buy more Audi's and the dealerships will pop up; guaranteed.

I hear ya... I read about a 123d hatch on edmunds a while ago and that just had me salivating: small, fuel efficient and good handling!

Too bad they aren't bring that here. A 3-series diesel wagon or diesel A4 Avant quattro would be fine too (as long we are dreaming, right?).

But it is a bit chicken and egg problem with those smaller brands. People don't buy them because they feel they don't get enough support. Becasue there is not enough interest, the dealer network is too small. And the circle is closed.

first new car, a couple of choices by mrroboto89
Dec 29, 2007 (7:14 am)

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

If you like the A3, why not consider the GTI, as well? It (along with the GLI) has the same drivetrain..
 
I think the A3 is a good choice.. But, if you are looking at VWs, they have some good dealer cash incentives on the leftover '07 models.
