The A3 is a wonderful car. It's a great balance of fun-to-drive and utility. Though it's small, there's a enough room for both of us, our pointer, camera gear and luggage for weekend. We often drive it from California to Arizona and it's great on the highway, cruising easily at well above the posted speed limit and the 3.2-liter V6 has plenty of passing power. It also makes a great airport shuttle as you can see.
