Default You pay an unnecessary premium for AWD with the A3(3.2).

As much as I like my A3, I regret not getting an A4 Avant(2.0)w/quattro. The A3(3.2) is just as heavy, gets worse gas mileage, and actually cost the same(if not more) than a similarly equipped A4 Avant(2.0).
After the A3, I'll never get another DSG equipped car again. I've had no problems with DSG; I just prefer a manual transmission.

To each his own. My criteria were DSG + quattro, so only A3 or TT were for me. Plus I like A3 size.

Default I am with you. If I could turn back time I would not have purchased this car.

It is not worth what I paid for it.

We didn't switch, but added an A3 3.2. We love it! It's worth it.

Totally worth it. I drove a A4 2.0t w/ Q and didn't like it. I enjoy the more liniar power of the3.2

Default A3 3.2 much sportier

I switched from an A4 Q to an A3 3.2Q. Definitely an upgrade. better handling, responsiveness, DSG alone is worth getting an A3 or TT for. I don't think I can go back and drive an automatic.
Only thing I miss was that sweet turbo whistle...
the S3 only if...
