Cars We Drive!

Just placed an order last night for the 2011 A3. Ended up with quattro, premium package, cold weather, bluetooth, and open sky. Color is meteor gray w/ light gray interior and should be here in mid-October. I used Amex Zag pricing and it worked out really well. The local participating dealer it pointed me too offered 500 over invoice which is a great price on the A3 as a number of other dealers don't move too much on these. Can't wait.

In Audi's world it means:

The dual-pane Open Sky roof system features a power front pane that opens back to the fixed rear glass, offering a panoramic view for driver and both front and back passengers in the A3. Complete with an innovative wind deflector that keeps wind noise and drafts in the interior to a minimum.

pscolari, I just ordered a 2011 A3 as well. Got the 2.0T, DGS, Quattro, premium plus, titanium package, convenience, open sky, black roof rails. Originally ordered black, but when they updated audiusa.com I noticed a new color, scuba blue. Immediately called the dealer to change my order. Should be here Oct-Nov, which works out well for me. My '08 TT goes back mid-Nov.

is the S3 not coming to the US?

 

[thekunk07]

no, but i'm gonna get an s4 me thinks.

 

[stamp0102]

thoughts on chipping the A3 in lieu of the US not getting the S3 in the foreseeable future? substantial HP and torque increases for about $5-600. seems like a no-brainer.

 

[HRoi]

that sux. guess VW/Audi doesn't want the R32 to have any competition?!

there's certainly a market in the US for a hot hatch... anyway, in response to the above - might as well chip it if you don't care about the warranty (big if). turbo cars are fun - when my 135i turns 3 years old i think i'll plug in a $600 JB3 software package that supposedly adds 100hp+100tq

I had to pickup a cargo van for a project. I have been having so much fun driving this the last 5 days. Don't be jealous.

I love my sports cars but this thing is so liberating since I don't give a **** about it. My fiance is embarrassed to be seen in it.

^ I know the feeling...I'm on the lookout for a beat to **** old cherokee 4.0 4x4 to drive the dog around in/get groceries with/drive in the snow/use with >1 passenger.

Will post pics when I find one...

To add to your fleet or to replace the A3?
