I raced for slips and won this: ![http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52270&g2_serialNumber=1](http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52270&g2_serialNumber=1) ![http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52272&g2_serialNumber=1](http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52272&g2_serialNumber=1) ![http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52274&g2_serialNumber=1](http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52274&g2_serialNumber=1) ![http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52276&g2_serialNumber=1](http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52276&g2_serialNumber=1) ![http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52278&g2_serialNumber=1](http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=52278&g2_serialNumber=1) I’ve been looking for an Audi A3 for a while now to use as a winter car / Dog hauler and this one came up down there at the right price so I jumped on it. It’s a 2006 2.0T (same as MK5 GTI) with DSG (w/ flappy paddles), Sport Package, Winter Package. The car has 84,xxx miles, but got a brand new factory long block less than 1000 miles ago under the CPO warranty the previous owner had. This thing feels and drives like a brand new car. I’ve already ordered the ebay 3" downpipe for $80, and then I’ll be taking advantage of APR’s $600 fully loaded ECU christmas sale and getting stage II installed: ![http://www.goapr.com/includes/img/products/performance_graph/20tfsi_trans_graph.png](http://www.goapr.com/includes/img/products/performance_graph/20tfsi_trans_graph.png) So it should be a very fun little car. I got the factory wheels with snow tires, not the ugly wheels in the pics. Tint and cosmetic mods will be happening soon also hopefully. ---

they do now with an option of TDI or a newer 2.0T… it’s just that you’ll spend $40k for one brand new and it’s a haldex system and not true quattro. edit: I lied, somebody told me that you could and you still can’t after looking at Audi’s website. what you can now get is quattro with the 2.0T ---

Meh, the DSG is a better transmission and just as (if not more) fun to drive in these cars than the 6-sp as long as it isn’t wrong wheel drive. Nice pickup :tup: ---

it’s pretty quiet… the car makes some interesting sound when it shifts under full boost because it can shift so fast. ---

Sort of off topic, the combo of a Tdi and a dsg is terrible. Having driven both: 2.0tfsi or whatever the fuck it is with a dsg and a 2.0TDi with a dsg, the dsg is a day a night difference with the gasser. Sucks dicks and cocks with the TDi, for some reason. Its super delayed and unresponsive from a dead stop. The revs build to like 2k and then you’re off, just weird? Aside from that, it’s fine. I drove a 2011 Jetta SportWagen TDi with a dsg recently, brought it back from the test drive and ordered one with a six speed manual. ---

DSG actually sounds pretty cool at WOT when there is an exhaust on the car, kinda race car like with the quick shifts. X… ---
