Default Is it just me???

One thing that I have noticed by reading many of these posts is that all of the British owners of A3 have problem after problem. My advice, come over to the states, buy an Audi, and bring it back. Take care all!

If you look back closely, then you'll see that most of the problems are with the older A3's that weren't even offered in the US. The new one's haven't had any more/fewer problems than ours.

Cheers!

It's just you.

(also because there's probably more brits that own A3s than north americans).

According to Audi's March PR and record month:

The largest foreign market in March was Great Britain with 19,238 vehicles (up 19.8 percent). Audi also enjoyed a highly successful month in the US market with growth rates of 14.7 percent (8,020 vehicles).

So yep, Brits do buy more Audi... Statistically it would make sense to have more problems to talk about.

But then again, maybe the Brits are just big whiners????



Just kidding....

Its quite common for a person with a car problem to join a forum for help and advice, that combined with the large British A3 market make it more likely to see messages from Brits! As Chef points out here in the states we only had the A3 since the 2006 model, you Brits have had them since 1996 model!

I thought about my last post and I went to Google and entered "are brits whiners" and Google responded:

Did you mean: are brits winners
I must have being confused, Google seems to think they are winners... One for the Brits!

What are you trying to say here?

For once I am saying something nice about the Brits, not mentioning anything about their driving skills, lack of food knowledge or food taste, pompous accent, Beckham, etc. I did not mention any of those and I am trying to be positive about the whole thing. Are you trying to bring me down Chef?
