pdoel's 07 Audi A3

[shellbug]

Wow!!!! Congrats on your new audi

[Lnzbug]

So Pete, do ya still like it??

[pdoel]

Yup! I still love it.

For me, it just seems like the perfect vehicle. It's practical with lots of room. With the seats folded down you can carry a bunch of stuff. But yet, it's also pretty sporty. Very quick. Rides nice, handles well.

And I've always wanted an impractical 2 seater that makes you feel like you're sitting in a cockpit. I kinda feel like that in the A3, even though it's a 4-5 seater. I just feel like the interior kinda wraps around me.

It just seems like the perfect blend of practicality, sportiness, luxury and just plain fun! All with just a touch of class.

[Lnzbug]

Yup, sounds like you still like it

[ASurroca]

Wow, that's a big upgrade, Pete!

I would definitely make the Audi upgrade if they would finally start stuffing TDIs under the hoods of US-bound Audis! While keeping my bug of course!

You've summarized my feelings of my GTI. The A3 is a fine car, that's for sure. I want that auto-dim mirror!

How many miles do you have on it now? My Mk5 rolled over 10k miles last week... And that damned oil change reminder keeps staring me in the face...

Amen , I got a chance to ride in it and I love it ..

[Beetlescott]

Beautiful Ride Pete!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pdoel]

My first mod (other than tint) to the A3. Nothing big.

Just smoked fender blinkers.

Of course, with Hopper, I bought clear front signals and figured that would be the end of my mods. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

[jazzcat]

its a crying shame we done get the 3 doors here...get rid of those amber front lenses for something smoked too and lower it and that would be the perfect car..i am completly jealous and can't wait until i can afford something along those lines lol

Can't get the smoked front lenses yet. They are only available for the standard bumpers, not the S-line. Keep hearing they'll be available soon. As soon as they are, I'll get em. Then I'll probably want the black grill surround as well.

Not gonna lower it. Already have a lowered car that I have trouble with in these parts. Too many steep driveways and such. This is the daily, so I gotta keep it a bit practical.

Why would Pete owning a family car make you mad?

[Argintessa]

Its looks better than a minivan and its VW. So win win.

[SMG]

Lower it.

[silverspeedbuggy]

Don't lower it. I think these ride and handle pretty darn well for a daily driver.

[silverspeedbuggy]

There's a 2006 or 2007 A3 with the 3.2 engine for sale by me that I'm tempted to go test drive.

[SMG]

SLAM it. Put it on bags and charge to plow driveways.
