Ari Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Been out a few months now, someone must have one...? Saw a bright red one on the road yesterday, not my first choice of colour but actually it looked good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Went on a Palmersport Audi trackday yesterday. Had a go in a 2.0Tdi while I was there.... Pretty impressive actually and looked very nice too. Nealy as much midrange grunt as the Leon which is some going I'm half tempted to pop up my local dealer and see if he's got a 3.2 demonstrator in yet.

S3Bangs Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Well... I dont have one but have had the 1.6SE, 1.9Tdi and 2.0Fsi each for a couple of days as my cars been playing up. Still have the 2.0Fsi and have done for the last 4days so I think I can say a few things about them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karanga Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Thanks for the welcome A3 2.0 Tdi Sport + armrest and c.control Drives really nicely although the servo assist steering is a bit different. It's silky smooth for normal driving at the expense of some feedback from the wheels although you always feel incontrol so it's just a case of getting used to it. Anyone else out there with a new A3 experiencing light shaking when idle after the engine has warmed up? I've seen a couple of other posts experiencing this.

Andy_Bangle Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 My 3.2 DSG goes to build this week for delivery at the start of Jan. I just hope those robots on the production line aren't to hungover and I end up with a lemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS4_Barry Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 I've got a Toucan Yellow 2.0TDI Sport and can't fault the car at all the handling is superb (big improvement over previous model) and the 2.0TDI engine is very quiet and smooth and the fuel economy is superb. Now done 7000 miles in it and as a daily driver it is excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 A silver 2.0TDI Sport parked behind my S8 the other day, it looked very nice IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyD Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Haven't got one (yet) but my local Audi dealer is giving me a brand new one on Friday 2nd Jan to test drive for the day - its just sitting there waiting to have the plates put on it and it looks stunning - 2.0TDi Sport in Lava Grey Pearl... quite exciting really seeing as it will be brand new on the day and I'll be the first punter to test drive it! I'll let you know what I think after the test drive, but from what i've read on here it should be an enjoyable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagman Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I've got an akoya 2.0FSI Sport. It is a lovely car to drive and beautifully put together. The 2.0FSI is really responsive and it handles so much better that the old model A3. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyD Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Hey Vagman.... I don't suppose you have pics of your car you could post please??? Looking in the brochure it looks like Akoya is the colour I'd go for if I bought one - and after today's test drive I seriously think I might be trading 180bhp petrol for 140bhp diesel.... the thing just flew!!

Nice motor, looks just like the one I had today - do you mind me asking how much was the bodykit, and was it an optional extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie123 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 [ QUOTE ] I got it, body kit....the lot This is a rush post. here Image 1 Dave [/ QUOTE ] Nice looking car I've recently ordered an Avus Silver 140TDI sport with the DSG gearbox and the optional s-line pack (18" RS6 alloys) and that body kit . Anymore modifications planned ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie123 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Tony, I was quoted £1500 for the dealer fitted body kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyD Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Nick, thats gonna look sweet with the 18" wheels under it AND the kit. Thats gonna be one highly spec'd A3 you've got on order - DSG aswell...... I only wish i could afford all these toys. You must be looking at about £25-£26k there in total, right?

DaveA3Turbo Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Did you go for Bose? Sympthiny II My spec is as follows - Brill Black Audi Bodykit Symothony II + Bose Alcatara/Leather Sports 5 Spoke alloys on order Tinted Windows Armrest Sign written Audi in back windows 2.0 TDi Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Without the kit but including discount it comes out just about £22700. I'm working on the dealer at the moment to get the whole lot including kit for under £24000. The s-line kit is an absolute bargain for £700. 18" alloys, half leather seats and other bits and bobs. Bargain The wheels alone must be worth about £1500.

I initially was going to have Grey or Black with red leather interior. But after getting details of the s-line option I had to have that , so I opted for the Avus silver because it used to be a £1500 paint option but is now £380. Here's the full spec of mine....... A3 2.0TDI Sport with DSG S-line pack (18" RS6 replicas ) Avus Silver Black/Black interior (half leather/cloth) Symphony with BOSE Acoustic parking sensors Xenons Light auto sensor pack Storage pack Front armrest Rear floor mats Reversible boot mat Non smoking pack De-badged Dealer Fit - Audi Body Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
