Why is it yours for the week?

Family member is out of the country and I asked if I could borrow it.

Oh ok. Is it armored?

Nope, unfortunately

Be careful out there!

That or a Golf?

Oh definitely that, here we only get the 1.4 Golf and the GTI, and the inteior on this is so much nicer and minimalistic.

How about a Golf with the 1.8T like here in ‘Murica?

Still the Audi, so much nicer inside and out.

Nice. Small, but nice.

How much room is behind the rear seats?

A surprising amount, it feels larger than the Golf.

Noice, auto or manual?

It might be one of the only new hatchbacks I actually like.

Auto, not sure if 6 or 8 speed, I don’t think you can get a manual one here.

Huh, that’s new. At least you get the A3 hatch at all, but I still want a manual one with Quattro. Which is not an easy find at all.

Even the smaller A3, A-class, 1 series here are considered luxury cars and automatic transmissions are considered “sew fahwnce” so they don’t even import the manual versions.

Interesting, in Europe they’re considered either entry level luxury cars or slightly better than economy cars. Either way, they still should be offered with manual transmission there.

It’s the 150% import/industrial product tax, even the Golf is considered Premium here, a mid-range VW UP is $11,400 and a Golf is double that and the base Audi is triple what the UP is.
