Whilst working at the Automobile Association (AA), there were a couple of occasions where I got to drive cars. This was the first, and boy did the Audi pack 'heat'. Cramming a 3.2 V6 engine into the small A3 body was quite a feat, and combined with the Quattro four-wheel drive system and DSG gearbox it was amazingly quick off the mark. The DSG gearbox is a marvel of technology, making changing gear a pleasure rather than the pain it could be in some 'tiptronic-esque' cars.
Unfortunately it was Yellow, but I couldnt hold that against it. I think the steering was a little on the dull side but everything else made up for it.
