I can't quite put it into words, but you know how some cars just look good in action... this is one of them. I like how it looks standing still, but it just looks better when it's moving, if that makes any sense.

And yes, I've driven one, and really enjoyed it. Fun as hell.

The more I think about it, the more I am starting to want one. Just wish it had Quattro and roof rails.

i wish it had the roof rack at least. I'm hoping the news about Audi having a special lease rate for good credit comes out in the next two months.

Otherwise might have to cancel the A3 order and get a mazda 3 wagon instead and maybe a late 80's 911, d'oh!

I was there getting an oil change and they had a demo unit on the lot... it had DSG, black leather, open sky... and damn me I feel like an *** because I can't seem to recall the exterior color because I also just recently looked at a couple at Continental, who had a red and black one. I think it was silver.

Anyway, I left Laurel and ran an errand down the street. As I drove by later on, someone was taking it for a test ride and I ended up right next to it. It just looked awesome rollin'.

nice, my decision has been made even tougher

yea me too.. torn between a CPO 04 A4, or a new A3

no way would I pay the same money for one if I can get into an A3.

It's bigger in the trunk, but the A3 has more rear legroom and my right knee no longer rubs against the center console.

And the A3 has DSG. Recurring theme here for me.
