Which of these A3s would you buy?
Hi there, I'm looking at buying a used A3 and would appreciate some input!
Assuming all other things being equal...would you choose a 2008 A3 2.0T with 35k on it or a 2009 A3 2.0T Quattro with 42k on it if they were the same price $30K...and is $30K a decent price?
Here's a third option: 2008 A3 2.0T with 70K on it at $25,000
How much room is there to play with on price for used cars?

i agree with JSC. The 09 was the first year they introduced the DRLs on the A3 and I think the headlight assembly is nicer/more modern/etc. Plus what is an Audi without Quattro? It's like buying a Honda without VTEC.

definitely 09 Quattro, especially I was told on another thread that the 09 has TFSI vs the previous model. I had a 08 and had engine oil problem, returned it at the end of the lease. Picked up a new 2011 Quattro, much better!

But the Quattro on the A3 is not full-time AWD right? It only comes on during slippage...so mainly good for winter weather not so much in terms of driving performance?...

Faster off the line?
[Though I must admit that now that I have Stage II software, I wish I had a bit more traction to get the power down! But when the car was stock, FWD is faster...it's also cheaper to repair and maintain over the long run]

Forgot to mention that in my Acura I ended up having to fit polyurethane motor mounts, stiffer springs (progress sport) just to keep it from wheel hopping off the line thru 3rd. I don't have this problem in my new audi when launching and going thru gears at redline.
