Rain + A3 3.2 quattro = Huge Smile!

[Anthony]

Just took a new A3 3.2 quattro S-line out for a spin. And what a perfect day to do it, well it would have been better if there were no cars on the road, but since it's "Black Friday"... But anyway, the drive was a blast. Power feels a lot like my brother's APR'd A3 2.0T, but it's definitely getting a lot more to the ground. Well done Audi, this car is a winner on so many levels. A thrill to drive, even when the roads and weather aren't so good. Convenience of the hatchback, amazing DSG transmission mated to the wonderful 3.2 V6 engine. Truly the definition of a "hot hatch".

If you get the chance to drive one, do it. Better yet, if you are in the market for a new car, buy one!

I have an appointment for a testdrive in the morning. Thanks for the report bro.

How did you get into one already ?
Just a 'test' drive ?

[A4Kevin]

Are you asking me?

[Anthony]

All of the dealers in the US should have at least one or two on the lot by now. Mine has 6! Four Brilliant Silvers and two in Brilliant Red! I really need to take one out for another spin, they're just so much fun.

Im in Canada , not sure if we got em yet

[phatAvant]

Mine might not have that much power, but like anthony said nothing a chip cant fix, but the quattro is quite nice even if it is haldex...

I had a chance to beat the piss out of one of these the other day in the rain.

OMG is this car a blast to drive! This car carves through turns like it is no ones business and the DSG performs perfectly.

Perfect timing: A3 quattros available, and the rainy season coming. Can't wait for mine to come off the boat and out of PDI.
