My family is growing, and as much as I love this car, it'll be too small soon!


This is my 2008 Audi A3 2.0T, FWD, 6 speed manual, white w/black interior. The vehicle has been tastefully modified with H&R shocks and springs, giving it a moderate drop, but the ride is arguably as good or better than with the OEM setup. It has a brand new set of 17" Michelin Pilot Super Sports, and 5mm spacers at each corner, and handles incredibly. The steering is direct and responsive. It handles as good as my MINI Cooper did on H&R suspension, but rides MUCH smoother.

Mechanically, it needs nothing. Clutch is good, brakes are good, engine is smooth, no leaks under the vehicle. No weird noises or rattles. Runs perfectly.

According to the previous owner, the car has an APR software tune, which really picks up the engine's performance, without sacrificing fuel economy. It accelerates smoothly, with lots of low end torque, no torque steer, and no turbo lag. 

The front grill has been exchanges for the gloss/matte S-line grille - I also have matte grille and trunk ring emblems, but did not install them. They come with the vehicle. The rear hatch has been debadged except the rings. There is a small 1" mark on the right rear corner of the bumper, and the lower part of the front bumper is scraped a bit from low inclines. The panoramic dual moonroof really opens the car up - the glass opens smoothly, the screens work well. The car has bixenon OEM lighting, and yellow fog lights. Comes with two sets of OEM floor mats - heavy duty rubber and carpet.

There is an iPod integration installed - I have it set up as just an auxiliary input (no charging or changer controls), as use it with my iPhone 5. If you have an iPod or iPhone 4S, it also has full charging and controls that integrate into the radio. Change tracks using the steering wheel!

The car has 85k miles, has gotten Mobil 1 synthetic 0w40 religiously, and needs nothing. Astute bidders may notice a crack in the windshield - there will be a new windshield in the vehicle before auction end.

2014 Audi S3 Cabriolet

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

Drivers are either droptop people or they're not. As most usually aren't - at least as far as the willingness to buy one is concerned - all convertibles tend to remain strictly niche cars. Thus, automakers must ask a noticeably higher price for them.
The Audi S3 Cabriolet is about as niche as you can get in the open daylight of mainstream automaking. Of course, the S3 cab doesn't really need to sell in big volumes; it exists because it's an easy and not too costly bit of flair for the company. In the US, this model would probably base out at around $44,000 if it were to join our fleet, which is problematic, as I'll soon explore.
In what may be a sign that Audi is essentially okay with all this, it had me up to central Sweden to twist around on the snow and ice in the open S3. The grounds ended up offering precious little ice and snow, so I drove the two-door ragtop on dusty, thawing Scandinavian roads. This was a blessing really, since ice driving in a cabrio - even a Quattro one - doesn't really reveal much of anything about such a car in its typical day-to-day life.

2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet [w/video]

Brash Bruiser Loses Top, Gains Weight, Still Makes Friends
Everything we said after driving the RS5 coupe still rings true, even after Audi has gone and ripped off its metal roof, replaced it with a big cloth version, and tossed us the keys. The 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet is another bold, big-boned airmobile to make open-top lovers swoon. There is absolutely nothing revolutionary to speak of here versus its hardtop counterpart, frankly, but tear-assing through the southern French hills as the brilliant sun warmed us is plenty good reason to talk a lot about it anyway. And hey, it beats frigid January in Detroit, where the RS5 Convertible is shortly to receive its US introduction.
One issue that could corrupt things a bit is the convertible's added weight factor. It's one thing when an Audi TT removes its top and gains 176 pounds, or when a Porsche Cayman morphs into a Boxster and gains 66 pounds; the effect on dynamics will still be acceptable. But when it comes to a huge-roof coupe like the RS5, that gain in mass becomes 400-plus pounds in cabrio form, for a grand curb weight of 4,461 pounds. As a number attached to this size of a car that's also branded with an RS badge promising raciness, we admittedly fretted. Then we drove the Audi RS5 Cabriolet to cheer up.

Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.
