On the road

Handles very well. Steering is precise and good feedback.
Performance
I would suggest to switch off the ESP. Driving becomes really exciting. Only use the ESP when it is raining.

Living with it
Reliability
Had not had a single problem with the car.
Image
It really attract looks from people. Probably the build quality is so superior and the paint finish is from the top shelf.
Comfort
I would prefer a more sports seating position, but I suppose optional Recaro seats are needed. However, the Alcantara material are really comfy.

Security and Service
Security
I think features from VW bora and Golf 4 need to be brought into the A3, like free wheel of the steering wheel when using a wrong key. Same applies to the doors. VW ought to bring this to Audi.
Service
Well in all instances I have not had issues with them due to work not carried out. They also keep you in touch with literature, family day etc...
