I'm second owner, has 73850 miles, manual transmission, it’s been great – especially with the top down. The improvement in gas mileage over my previous vehicle, a Chevy Tahoe, is incredible – 19/27 mpg! However, it’s just too sporty for me.
Plus the suspension is low and stiff – great for handling but not as comfortable/soft as I would like.
All regular maintenance has been performed (brake fluid every two years, coolant flushed, synthetic oil, etc.).

The timing belt and water pump have been replaced as preventive maintenance.
The wheels/tires, suspension, and brakes/rotors were upgraded less than a year ago.
In addition to the coil-over suspension, the rubber bushings were replaced with hard polyutherane bushings which, while improving handling, have stiffened the feel of the steering. When the steering wheel is turned at a stop or at low speeds like in a parking lot it makes a creaking sound. The result at high speeds however is a vast improvement in handling.
The instrument cluster is fading and hard to read in daylight and the fuel gage works but shows full as full and ½ as empty – the needle does drop gradually from full to ½ as fuel is used. Plus, there is a low fuel indicator light and tone.
There are also general signs of wear as would be expected with a used car.
The a/c, electric convertible top, windows, locks, and radio/cd changer all work perfectly.
The top, which looks great and does not leak at all, has had the stitching reinforced around the rear window to prevent further weakening of the rubber seal from the heat.
The engine idles perfectly and the clutch shifts smoothly. The coil packs and spark plugs were also replaced less than a year ago.
Clear Florida title in hand. Two keys, the original books, and service records are also included.

Audi A3 named 2014 World Car of the Year

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

As usual, the second press day of the New York Auto Show was kicked off by the World Car of the Year Awards. Rather than fluff things up, we'll cut right to the chase: top honors go to the brand-new Audi A3, which bested the Mazda3 and BMW 4 Series for the all-important award.
Of course, the wonderful thing about the World Car awards is that there isn't just one big announcement - other honors are given out for specific categories. Here are the other winners from this year's ceremony:
World Green Car of the Year: BMW i3

Audi waxes poetic about Le Mans

Mon, 12 Aug 2013

Audi did it again this year at Le Mans, but it wasn't arguably a harder job than it's been in the past few years. The Four Rings has put together a five-minute recap of the 24 hours in the wet and the dry at La Sarthe, showing a lot of the low points and the one high point that makes them all worth it.
Perhaps even better than the footage are the driver interviews. Audi has owned Le Mans for more than a decade, but none of the drivers take it for granted - team driver Marc Gene said, "I also think that Le Mans picks the winner... At some point, he just decides which car and which drivers are going to win that race."
You can check it out in the video below. And be sure to hang around for the tribute at the end.

Audi Airomorph is a sleek shape-shifting senior thesis

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Eric Kim just graduated from the from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, at the end of the spring 2014 semester, and for his senior thesis project he came up with this futuristic Audi endurance racer called the Airomorph. He even got some input Audi designer Kris Vancoppenolle.
The Airomorph imagines a future Audi racer for Le Mans that features adjusting fabric panels to fine-tune the car's aerodynamics as it laps the course - a technology inspired by catamaran racing. "I started from scratch and had the freedom to deliver and execute a white space design for the future," said Kim to Autoblog via email. It's also somewhat similar to the idea behind BMW Gina concept, although Kim says that wasn't an inspiration for his design. The body here is made from a single piece of a silver, expansion-resistant material stretched over a frame underneath. The fabric anchors at the wheels, front and rear section with movable cables, and hydraulic actuators pull the wires to shift the aero as needed.
The actual shape echoes Audi endurance racers from the past and present. In profile, you can easily see the current R18 with its arcing cockpit and fin down the rear. Of course, that's interpreted through a little bit of Blade Runner with the covered wheels sticking out from the body. The front shows the rectangular shapes from the earlier R15. There doesn't appear to be any way to actually see out of the vehicle, though.
