Why Get an A4 over the A3?
I currently drive a 2003 A4 1.8T and want to update my look. I am looking at the 05/06 style A4 and A3's. What should I consider when deciding between to two? Is the front track alot different from the Quattro? So far I have gone to one place, D'Angelo European Auto Sales that has both. There is an A4 with CVT that is pretty sick but there is also a 6 speed A3 that is cool too. Any ideas?<ul><li><a href="http://www.DAngeloAutoSales.com">http://www.DAngeloAutoSales.com</a</li></ul>

hmmm
historically the CVT is a POS that craps out and costs a fortune to replace. So be it the A3 or A4 the manual is the way to go. Do you need quattro?? The A4 you can get in any engine, transmission, and it can be front track or quattro. The A3 you dont have all of those combinations. The A3 has most options limited by what engine you get.

If you do any skiing or pass driving in the winter stay with quattro
a friend in poland just bought an 2004 A3 3.2 Liter (247 HP) 40k miles s-line (sports package) with s-tronic, waiting on a report.

Re: Why Get an A4 over the A3?
Yeah I don't really need a quattro for any reason. The gas mileage between quattro and front track doesn't seem that much different any way. The perfect car would be a new body A4 in a six speed. Does any one know how much shorter an A3 is compared to an A4? They are bigger than like a golf right?<ul><li><a href="http://www.DAngeloAutoSales.com">http://www.DAngeloAutoSales.com</a</li></ul>
