Review
malcolm.mackay@balfour-manson., Scotland
Pros:
Handles brilliantly even though it is quite heavy. Feels very solid and safe. Quick off the mark once you have 2000 revs as turbo kicks in. Haldex Quattro so not real 4x4 but rear wheel steps in when cornering to push you round corners. Also great in the wet as solid car with very little aquaplaning even when going quickly. Apparently better than the new one!! Ho ho. Slow depreciation. Not as common as old TT and just as fast with room for 5 people who will all be shouting 'cause the 6 cd bose stereo is superb.
Cons:
Servicing at Audi garages costs a bit. If I ever sell, reluctantly, I'll hopefully re-coup some of the cash on the FASH. Tyres a bit too fat to be very safe in snow so snow tyres may be needded if driving in lots of snow and ice. Looks a little bit dated but probably as pretty as the new s3.
Comments:
I love it more than my golf clubs and as much as my girlfriend....nearly.
