I have enjoyed my Mercedes immensely, but it was time for a new car. I picked up this Audi A3 yesterday and just love it. I wanted something that was fun to drive, could hold the entire family, was able to haul a lot of cargo, and got excellent gas mileage. This 5-seater sports wagon fit the bill. It has a turbo-charged 2L engine, 0-60 in 6.2s, a dual-clutch automatic that shifts faster than a manual (steering wheel mounted paddle shifters) and I averaged 31mpg on the way home from work yesterday (almost double my SUV). Kyle has figured out that if I stay on my new car every 4 year pattern that he will inherit this “pocket rocket” when he is ready to drive and has given his enthusiastic approval to the new purchase.
