looks as expected, too bad the rear wasn't changed a little bit (maybe cabrio's rearlights) but still I like it very much.

it about time... it was getting old looking... i think that they should of done more than just some lights... but i luv da audi grill!

i think the new front lights are too fussy, they are more successful on a larger unit like the a5 but just doent suit the smaller unit. do like the new crease round the egrill though.

only idiots buy audis. not only do volkswagens look better there a damn sight cheaper. audi design is so unevolved

only idiots would consider the audi tt uglier than the scirocco, plus audi uses better materials in and out

um i dont get it, though.. new gen a3 models usually appear before than its cousin, the golf, but this time we get this barely facelifted (keeping the original ugly rear on the 3-door hatch) vs the imminent all new golf VI??

I don't like the interior! Why is there those bars between the seats? Is it a Land Rover??

Boring... they should do more aggressive desings! And they know how: R8, TT... Hope new generation in 2010 will be...

Really small changes from the outside, they only inserted LED lights in the front

WCF: does this A3 get the new 2.0 common-rail diesels instead of the old pümpe-düse units?
April 24, 2008 9:16 pm
Simply said no, because on A4 its a longitudinal unit and so far they haven't introduced it on any FWD versions in the VW family. That doesn't mean it's not doable but the "old" A3 would not be the ideal model to introduce such a novelty. I expect Golf VI will be the right venue for that.

catch22: Actually the A5 platfrom already has the CR in Tiguan, so let's hope for the best.

lol you just showed everyone how much of an idi0t you are with that comment.
April 25, 2008 6:43 am
Uhm, I did? Care to clarify and perhaps point out the error in what I just stated?
April 25, 2008 6:51 am
By the way, no word from the 1.6 CR diesel engine yet. I expected A3 could be a potential candidate for market launch however as it seems it won't be ready for market launch yet...

Typically Audi. Terribly conservative. I mean really: what kind of statement does this car make? Looks stylish like a designer label, but then I dislike designer labels terribly anyway! I'll stick to my MK5 GTI and then onto the Evo X!!! Lol.
