Last night we collected an A3 to replace my wife's Ibiza (which we still have) and I have to admit I'm a little jealous, especially of all the toys.

It's a 53 plate dolphin grey 2.0 TDI Sport, extras include xenons and headlight washers, auto lights, auto dimming rear view mirror, Symphony II stereo (6 disc in dash and subwoofer), interior light pack, cruise control, rear sunblind and leather/alcantara seats. It also has a nokia bluetooth kit but I expect this will be swapped for an OEM one in the near future.

So far I'm very impressed with the quality of the interior and how it drives, it really does feel like a new car despite being over 3yrs old.

Got a new car for the Wife

...This seems like a fair swop:rofl:...seriously though, nice motors the A3, hope she`s happy with it:thumbup:

Audi's are quality

Audi's are quality

They really are but until I actually spent a decent amount of time in a well spec'd one I just didn't appreciate how much so.

So if your jealous then how time have you spent driving it over the wife

make sure she doesn't prang it...can you remember who her driving instructor was ?!

any mods on the horizon? a remap maybe?

It's getting sat nav as soon as we sell the Ibiza, Louise also wants some aluminium pedals. Remap can wait until we get a service at the earliest.

Nice one Eddy, looked at an A3 a few years ago

how much you want for the beezer?

And, somehow :eek: , I get the feeling you know your cars.

Sounds a very nice spec Eddy - someone go mad with the options list, or is it an ex-demo or something?

Got any pics yet?

Really like the current shape A3 - ah well, maybe in a few years time

Steve

It's up on SCN for

Very nice Eddy. Yep, sounds like another good buy

That's cheap for the Beeza, I know it has a few miles on it, but even so. Should shift quickly

It's priced to sell, I'll put it up in a few other places like piston heads and maybe ebay once I have some pics.

I must admit to being a bit disappointed with the A3 (Sportback) interior. However I acknowledge this probably wouldn't have been the case if I was comparing it to my A6.

S3 interior has a few more splash of metal and it does make a hell of a differrence.

BOSE set-up is excellent....pity it didn't come with the A3.

I think the basic A3's (a few of which we have at work) are quite dull however the sport and s-line with the piano black or aluminium trim and attractive climate panel look much better.

Would have been nice to have bose but it is the upgraded stereo that has the sub-woofer. It sounds alot better than the stereo in the Ibiza so we're happy enough.

very nice car indeed, i like the A3, good cars!

oh and eddy, nice to see another audi owner lol well part owner
