Yes, all the performance of a VW Jetta without the stigma of a low price.

Sorry EriK. Couldn't resist. The Audi is a nice looking car. I just haven't managed to capture the excitement with the one example I've owned.

I just put a piggy back ECU, a downpipe, and an S3 intercooler in it, and I have verified 0-60mph times via GPS, and accelerometer, and it consistently cuts 4.06 to 4.15 second 0-60 times. That is faster than my Vette.

My wife's Jetta is a 2.5l inline 5 with 170 horse, FWD. The A3 uses the same chassis as the MK7 Golf-R, so it is stiff, nimble, light, AWD, and has a DSG trans that is faster in every aspect than the manual Golf-R. Pretty different from the Jetta, and a hefty bit lighter as a sub-compact. A3's with these mods typically put down 315whp, and 350wtq O_O

believe me when I say, it is most decidedly not like a Jetta

Oh, so it's like a Jetta that no longer has a warranty?

Not offended at all I'm just really quite impressed by this little car It is one heck of a little sleeper when modified for power.

It is a CPO car...but only has a couple months before the 4 year factory warranty lets out anyway :/ Besides, I can never leave a car alone anyways (lol) especially one that's cheap to mod, and cuts 0-60 times faster than a new CTS-V after only $1500 in parts O_o

It makes an excellent commuter

You're a good sport Erik. I had no idea one could buy an Audi with all those special features and mods. News to me. Thanks
