Although I don’t own a car (haven’t for a few years, actually), I do have a bit of car envy from time to time — usually about the time the sun comes out and the waves and wind start looking good. I drove an Audi A3 the other day, and having had an A4 a while back, I can feel the pull. I love the feel of the 2.0l turbo four, and 200hp is plenty of power — a 250+hp V6 is coming next year, but I don’t think that’s really necessary, especially in car this small & light. I would like to have quattro AWD though, and that’s not available yet either. The “Open Sky” roof is beautiful, and the thing drives incredibly. Unfortunately, I can’t quite figure out what whether it will support a roof rack with the Open Sky option… the best review I’ve found so far is on Motor Trend, but they don’t say for sure. Maybe I’ll be able to find out in these forums.
