more information.....
2000 S4 comes with 265 HP, but the weight is much heavier than A3. A3 2.0T comes with 200 HP and 3.2 comes with 255 HP, so the performance of A3 close to 2000 S4. nevertheless, A3 comes with DSG transmittion transplanted from TT.

 

thanks guys, yeah nana, ive heard much about the repair costs for the S4(esp. the 2000-2001.5). The S4 that i was driving is also not in very good shape b/c the place that owns it treats it like crap, and apparently thinks it has a carborator...i got a bit of a chuckle out of that.

I only wish they would bring the 2 door S3 to the states, that would be killer.

 

Not true, not true, not true... I don't care who your husband is, it's not true.

There are several "audi fans" and owners of 2000 S4's that I know (not including myself) that have never had issues with their cars whatsoever. Even my 2000 S4 has been picture perfect - I have 75K and have maintained the car per Audi.

 

Once again.... NOT true.

As a matter of fact, my S4 was corner weighted recently at 3481 lbs. That's 100 lbs more than the 2005 A3.

100Lbs is NOT "much heavier than A3."

 

i want a A3 hatchback to arrive in states, or i'm going to europe buying it

 

We have Audi A3's in the Baltimore, Washington, Nova area in port and more comming. The first batch is expected to be ready for delivery the secound week in may pending Audi approval. Call or email me if you would like to reserve one.

 

dude imolas4 chill man. persoanlly i think the A3 would be able to reach much faster times than a S4

 

is that the a3 avant or hatchback???

 

hatch man

 

o hell yea, i would get one imediately, but i dunno when they are gonna reach the US market, from what i read few months back, not maybe until 2007 or never, havent really kept up with them
