The A3 is one of my favorite Audi's- stylish, quick, well made.
But I sure don't see many of them on the road in my mid-west city.
And I think I know why...they are vastly over-priced- 39k for a mildly optioned quattro version- without the bells and whistles of sat/nav.
As of now you can't get the 4cyl engine linked to quattro- it just isn't an option...and it's too bad because the A3 has been bumped into A4 territory.
Great car- weird MSRP.
