Default My first Audi A3

I recently just bought my first Audi - its an A3, its black and smooth. Before this I drove a golf 3, GS so this is a complete change in terms of smoothness and road holding. Still getting used to it. Only have it for just under a month now.

I love it..

I've owned a lot of Vdubs too and the A3 is very smooth and sweet compared to all of them. Welcome to the better half!

Cheers!

It's a grey interior. Absolutely stunning with the Lava Grey outside and the off-color stitching in the leather. I'm really enjoying my car too!

Enjoy it stock for a while, then I suggest you chip it, or ride in someone's chipped A3 and you can see the raw power waiting in your little engine. These cars are amazing.

Good choice!!!

Cheers,
Chef

its weird - when we first got the car - we went on a long road trip - which we were planning on anyway. it just so happened that i got the car the monday before. i think it was the first time the car was ever taken on such a long trip. now 4 weeks later there was a rattling sound coming from the bottom of the car, which we have replaced with a free flow middle box. the car seems to have even more power now and seems a bit louder..

the faster i say the better..

you have the newer model.. but mines also black

Well, if I have the newer model then you must have a 1.8T engine? Chipped the car will be just over 200hp for you. That's a swift kick in the butt for that car and even a bigger kick on the newer models. Just food for thought.

Congrats!

Nah, I have a 2000 1.8, didnt opt for the turbo as I did some research and found out that lots of ppl have problems with it after a certain mileage. The chip? we'll have to see bout that!
