I’m really going to miss this car. A 2006 A3, purchased used in 2018 for $6K. Fun as hell to drive, even just to the grocery store. I hate modern cars with all of their screens and cameras and useless features. This car has incredible design, a clean display and was so tactile. Buttons you could feel and operate without digging through screen menus. The radio was always tuned to the jazz station because it was a simple radio, just like the rest of the car.
It’s really hard to find manual transmissions in the US. I hope this isn’t the last one I own.
Unfortunately everything started breaking at once and after too much fiat sunk into repairs and three towing bills, I had to say goodbye.
