Talking Audi A3 Pulls to the right while accelerating

I just got my A3, and it pulls to the right while i accelerate it (in any gear)

Took it to the dealership and service department, and they said this is a normal behavior for a 200hp, FWD, manual transmission A3.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thank you

all front wheel drive cars pull to a side. and having 200hp doesnt help. it should only pull hard to a side when you floor it.

check your tire pressures, but yes FWD does tend to pull to one side more than the other under heavy acceleration.

It is my experience that the A3 has much less torque steer than most FWD cars

Torque Steer... If it's been chipped it will be worse.
