So its better than plain old FWD, but not really in the same ballpark as the fully mechanical systems in the A4 on up, which are Torsen based.

Whatever though. A guy could do a lot worse than an Audi A3.

There was a really sick white one in a magazine that I read a while back. Had black wheels and a lip kit and stuff.

Nice car, congrats! Does it feel quite a bit faster than your Prelude did?

Definitely. This thing would kill the Prelude. It's supposedly quicker than an 02-05 WRX, but I dunno if I agree with that. Either way it's a blast to drive, though.

Did i see/hear this car last nite driving near the apartments north of home depot?

I've seen one Red A3 in town before. The car i saw last nite didn't sound like a stock exhaust; seemed a bit on the loud side for factory Audi parts.

Most likely. I live just NW of Home Depot. It's all stock though.

Man, not a whole lot of love here.

You bought the lowest model Audi makes in FWD and wagon, what do you expect?

In all seriousness tho, they really do look a lot better in person. Saw a silver one at Valley today and it didn't look nearly as gay as it appeared in the pictures. Looked less like a station wagon and more sporty than the pictures indicate.

Yeah it's entirely possible. It was a fairly local trade.

Sure. You'd probably kill the hell out of it but it'd still be fun.
