If you had asked me a few years ago what I thought about the Audi A3, I probably would have called it a bit of a girly car. Funny thing is, my mom actually had one. And the more I saw it sitting in the driveway, the more it grew on me. Before I knew it, I was noticing every A3 I passed, and that’s where the obsession started. I picked up my first A3, a basic 2.0T, and it didn’t take long before I realized the platform had a lot of potential. A year later, I sold it and upgraded to an A3 VR6. But that one ended after an accident, unfortunately. Still, I couldn’t stay away from the platform. Now I’ve got the car you see here, plus another A3 VR6 that I use as my daily driver. Looking back, it all kind of makes sense why I’m so attached to these cars. It’s not just about the looks or the badge. It’s the way they drive, fun and sporty but still comfy and refined, like a blend of daily practicality and late night back road fun. The other thing that I loved but hated at the same Time is the moding plateforme on the a3 model is realllllly Small! So you have to dig deeper to find the right thing you want !
