I drive Audi not a3 or 2.0t engine. But I love Audi in general. It's my first Audi n I fell in love as soon as I sat on one. I love all the comfort features, fit and finish, all the small details....etc. Audi is great for dd car.

You can't really go wrong with a TL/TSX. Many things can go wrong with the A3.

Tommy'd love to see my mangina smile. I'm starting to think he has a crush, since he follows wherever I go...

Nice choice!! I loved everything about the TL except for the fwd factor. I still sometimes wish I got a type S when I see one around.

Out of warranty vw/audi, pass.
I used to be a big fan of the tsx, but if you really baby the throttle, the mpg on the tl really isnt that bad. I have some friends who have the tsx and they all like it but dont love it; it really is just a bit sportier accord. The TL feels more luxurious, more oomph, and the folks I know who have them love them. So for me, I'd get the TL.

i would pick tl over tsx any day. tl is one of my favorite car too and i would have bought one too if it wasn't fwd. now they offer sh-awd and if they still offer manual by the time i m in a market for a new sedan i would definitely go check one out.

The guy I'm buying from claims his TL got 34mpg on a recent road trip, which is a bit unbelievable to me, but we will see. I expect mid to low 20s around town, which is about what I get with my S2000.
