I had a 2001 A4 until I sold it a few months ago. I'm actually interested in the A3, but not until it's available with AWD.

It is now. But it's the 3.2L S-Line with DSG, so it's $$$.
I want 2.0T Quattro with 6-speed.

back on topic...
I think I'll go try one with DSG and see what this GC is about. I drove basic 2.0T when they came out.

Is the Z22 decent for student?

If you don't need better screen resolution for pictures or bluetooth than it's perfect, IMO.

Wow - no kidding! Starting at $45k?!?! Even for an Audi, that's excessive. I'm not sure the market is there in Canada (or even the US for that matter) for this kind of car at that price. I wonder what the 2.0T quattro will go for...

[robskot]

Just went to look at the A3 on the canadian website...Great job on the site...very imformative...great streaming...

Might just go look at one....

Honestly, if I could afford an S4, Id buy it in a blink. Twin turbo, 340hp, awd, nice and luxurious, barely loses to an M3. Hot stuff. I'd get the 25quattro Special Edition.



If that fails, I'll stick with my affordable 300hp WRX STi that is like $20,000 cheaper.



In any case, Im now gonna go test drive the heck our of that A3 and see if I can make the salesperson pee his pants.

If you go to the dealer and only really want the GC and have no intent to buy a car, tell the sales rep/manager and if you're lucky (depends on how you look at it) they may give you the GC and skip the test drive - those guys really don't want to waste their time.

Did this before at a Nissan promo and the guy just stamped the thingy I had and I got a free thermos.

The S4 is not a twin turbo; you are thinking of the previous gen S4. This one is a normally aspirated V8. Still hot stuff though!
