considering an a3 3.2
I'm considering looking into getting an A3...i really like the car. I would be looking at a loaded A3 3.2. I know the 2.0T has more potential for power, but i hate FWD and promised myself my next car would be RWD, or AWD. Currently i'm driving a Toyota Matrix XRS, nice car, but the A3 would be a step up in power from that, add AWD, a jump in style/luxury as well. DSG is an interesting option and ive test driven it and really like it. any advice anyone can offer me? Is it too late to get an 06?

RE: considering an a3 3.2
Well, I own the 2.0T and love my car. I've heard grumblings over the 3.2 A3 but I don't remember the exact issues.
If you like the car, then buy it and join us!!! Cheers! Chef |

I have an 07 3.2 on the way. The selection for 06 at the time I ordered it (end of June) was way to limited. You may be happier ordering the exact car you want--color, options, etc.-- and waiting for it come in versus driving all over hell and back to find the Quattro of your dreams. I commend you on your choice!

i'd love to hear what the alleged issues are with the 3.2 vs the 2.0T. Besides potential power of the turbo....anyone?

does the 2.0T happen to have LSD? or is it just electronic brake control to simulate one?

RE: considering an a3 3.2
is it effective in daily driving? I never go to the track or anything like that, but i do drive quite spirited and the reason i hate FWD, is under hard acceleration from a stop going around a corner, i hate the wheelspin produced by open diffs. If this electronic stuff can control it, it might be worth a look.
