It’s kind of the ‘catch all’ car...since...well...it *IS* the ‘Peoples Car Company’. Ford? Sure. The Focus is great but I don’t know how well the new RS is going to hold it’s value. Historically, ‘Dubs do retain their value (esp the GTI/GLI variants.) I just want to know why no one has suggested anything from…

Yeah, the A3 is about the same size as a 20 year old A4. I’ve ridden in the back of the B4 gen on a day long trek, and while not super spacious, I’ve sat in worse for longer. It’s surprising how large the A3 is:

You have a good point. I assumed that because several VW dealerships—including the dealership where I bought my car—offer the APR tunes and because they are effectively agents of Volkswagen, that the tunes wouldn’t void the warranty.
