My grandma has an Audi

[Red Mk1]

My grandma in Germany has an audi A4 (or was it an A3...its a hatch)... got to drive it...its nice...i know, not a very interesting post...but someone had to write the first one

my spidey senses indicate a state of bordem coming from your area..

[imported_brackie]

None of the admin team could write anything mainly 'cos they can't afford one! Also, most of them are autos and we drive our cars for fun!

grandmas one is a manual....and great fun!!! but yeah, very pricey....

Grandmas hatch would be an A3, built on the same platform as the Golf, the Skoda Favorit, and the Seat Ibiza. Basically the same car, usin 80% the same parts, just tailored to wallet size. Clever marketing by Volkswagen.

Yes the admin team are all too poor to afford new Audis. I`d want a manual if I was spending the money for a new car, what are these people thinking?

My '78 Audi 100 is an auto, 3 speed and very smooth. I cheat...I drive it like a clutchless manual and have to as the hills here are so steep (Oh.. and it has no brakes!)
One hill close to us is so long and steep that you can smell the automatic cars coming before they arrive. These transmissions breed laziness and in steep terrain should be manually downshifted to give engine braking. But try to tell your average Commodore driver that!!!

Change the subsection heading to S3 instead of TT

Mate owns an S3 always complains about the S3 not getting a mention haha

[imported_brackie]

Is the S3 the same car as the TT? If so, would the majority of owners or the public know that? Or are they likely to be looking for a place to chat about TTs?

no 2 completly different cars. the S3 is an AWD 2L turbo 163kw version of the A3 and the TT is a coupe and can come as a hard top or a soft top in various guises one even has the R32's V6 .

S3 is 1.8 and the same as TT. TT is available as AWD same as S3 or 2WD same as A3. The TT is the same as the S3/A3 as the Golf/Skoda/Seat is.
