Better than a 350Z
My daily commute is 152 miles a day. Its a little noisy on some roadways. Overall it's a blast to drive. I was recently driving through 40 mph winds at 75 mph and the car stayed glued to the road. Front wheel drive handles well in the snow.
Amazing car!
Wow. This car never fails to put a smile on my face, I have owned this car for 2 years and I've never had a problem with it other than regular maintenance, almost right away I replaced the stock tires for more stick tires, and wow does this car like to corner! It's straight line speed it kind of lack luster but then again it was not really made for that. It loves to accelerate out of corners and while doing so it still feels like you are riding in luxury! On the highway I get great MPG, not so much in the city though. Getting in and out of the car is a little bit of a hassle but is immediately worth it once you sit down.

Get radar detector
Car has open sky, premium, illumination and cold weather package. A blast to drive. Great engine/transmission. Great acceleration. Ride is solid and tight. Steering feels great. Interior design is excellent. Sound system is great. Like a video game on the highway; quick downshift (not that you have to) and 80 becomes 100 in a blink.
Audi A3 is Good
The A3 is delightfully deceptive, looking small on the outside but airy and roomy inside and appearing underpowered by a 2 liter engine but providing more get up and go than many larger engines. In addition, it's beautifully assembled and it handles like a true sport. Fuel efficiency is good, averaging 29 mpg. The iPod interface works well, the sound system is super, the steering responsive and sure, and the wipers clear without clatter or skipping.
Surpurised by lack of quality
This is a great, versatile car. It offers a fun to drive, economical vehicle that can also hull a large amount of equipment, especially with the rear seats folded down. I don't think any other car on the market has all of this. I purchased the S-line with just about every option available. I can't imagine living without rain sensing wipers now. Which leads to my dilemma. I will have to replace this car before the warranty runs out. I have had three major issues with the vehicle with a total down time of well over a month, and this within the first year of ownership. I hate to say it, but I cannot recommend this car based on its poor reliability.
