and no garage. 5 winters, 3 sets of tires (2 summers and 1 winter), 1 flat, 3 close calls, a bit of floss for de-badging and a little bit of of tinting film.

2 EGR valve cleanings, 1 o2 sensor, and many many tanks of diesel. (mmmmmm, TORQUE)

Audi, you have build one handsome reliable little car. Here is to another 160K of trouble free km. (note: Almost no rust on it actually...)

I like the A3 more than I should. Too bad they stopped selling the hatch down here and we only get the stupid sedan now :(

we LOVE ours. Biggest compainlt is that this was thew ONLY model/engine combo in the ENTIRE line up that didnt have AWD at least as an option. (all TDIs were FWD)

oh well. At least we get to reap those fuel econ benefits :D (and with a set of winters, we dont really notice it tht much anyways)

That’s how Zippy got his Jetta sideways.

I’d invite you for the next time we go, but it might be a bit of a hike for you.

I’ve always loved these. This gen A3 wagon was the first cool/fast car I ever drove - I can still remember the smell & feel of the interior and how tight the steering felt. That one was a 3.2 S-line though (with a whopping 250hp IIRC lol).
