Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I was going to opt for a golf gti mark 4 but opted to pay extra to get the audi a3 2.0. I wasn't prepared to pay out for the sportback model when the 3dr 2004 version looks just as good if not better for less money. The sport alloys and trim looks so much better than the SE spec, and mine came with the 6 CD auto changer. Very happy all round! Last indulgence before i have to be mpg sensible in a few years for TAX reasons lol.
What was the dealer like?
Professional, reasonable on negotiation. Very well presented car, valet and polish.

6 CD, climate control to separate sides of car.
