My New 09' 2.0T MT A3

[iambrennan]

I am having problems loading photo into the post...look in my photo gallery.

I haven't picked up the car yet...I went to complete the paperwork.

Its a 2009 A3 MT with sports, s-line, and convenience package...LAVA GREY. Looking forward to posting more pics when I pick it up!

[drexplode]

wow, looks really good. I like the white colored clock...can you take more photos of the cluster gauge?

if you post photos in photobucket, you can share photos in threads.

Hit the mountain icon in your response thread and paste the hyperlink. Should appear like this:

sure will..i will be taking lots once it is clean...also going to try DiTEC..will keep peeps up to date to see how it works. I am a lil surprised how not "black" the interior is!

[FromS60toB61.8t]

also take a pic of those leds

wanna see how those look on the A3's

The car looks great. It's very similar to the order I'm going to be placing myself real soon except I'll be getting mine with quattro, S tronic, Nav and cold weather as well.

If you can take a few more pics I would really appreciate it like the others mentioned. A close up of the head lights, both on and off would be great. Also a close up of the 18" sport wheels and sport seats would be great too. Thanks and enjoy the new car!

[iambrennan]

FYI...my "real job" is professional photography...the pics will be my priority have no fear=)

No one is giving me props for ordering a manual huh? I guess I am too much of a purist...even if it makes me drive a little slower off the launch.

It's the only 2009 6-spped A3 in the USA right now! =)

'09 S-line, 6spd great! but no Quattro? Only reason I would ever pick up the facelifted A3. I see your in Florida but it would still make the car so much better.

Can't get the six speed with quattro...

[iambrennan]

exactly! where is the TDI 6-speed Quattro for the USA? Us "americans" don't like manuals or diesel

[jon102034050]

love it!

[20AE428]

Can't get the six speed with quattro...

Of course! Sorry, I think a manual would trump the Quattro in FL. Why o Why AoA can't you give us the combo most drivers want?

[Korben007]

yeah i have been holding off the A3 for these reasons. I need quattro i need a manual and i need a turbo. haha. Im over here in London right now, just went down to the dealership and got the a3 booklet. and lets say there r about 5-6 gas and 5-6 diesel engines to chose from as well as 5 speed 6 speed s tronic auto quattro non quattro. im so jealous!

[iambrennan]

did someone say quattro conversion kit?!?

wink wink =)

[b6onboost]

Corrected. Most drivers don't want a manual and don't care about awd. Enthusiasts on the otherhand do.

Audi should leave the A3 as it, just bring us the S3.

Of course! Sorry, I think a manual would trump the Quattro in FL. Why o Why AoA can't you give us the combo most enthusiasts want?

[iambrennan]

Tomorrow is the big day...I am taking angle/detail/2009 change picture requests?!?!?

I will hopefully be using the car in a photoshoot in the near future, but in the meantime I will take some to keep your undies dry =)

[a3cnj]

Sounds great and I'm happy for all of us :-) I can't wait to see the pics

[iambrennan]

Well guys....I GOT MY CAR AND IT IS F-ing SWEEEEEETT!

I can't wait to take some pics for everyone soon. The car is actually getting DiTEC tomorrow so I will let you know how that goes.

I will keep you posted =)

BTW..as a first time AUDI owner, but very longtime fan and car enthusiast...I am completely blown away by every minute detail and design!

Congrats! I felt the same way when I picked up my new A3 Can't wait to see the pics...

[a3cnj]

I know you are probably out enjoying your car but, man, where are the pics!?

[iambrennan]

Hi guys..."don't hate the player hate the game!"

I will take some pics tmrw or the next day. I actually got the car DITEC last week (can't wash the car for 2 weeks) and with the Thanksgiving holiday was very busy with the family.

Tomorrow morning I am getting the tint done. I will snap a few unprofessional pics to keep ya guys happy, until I can take some really cool ones =) The car is going great btw!

[a3cnj]

No hating, just anxious until I get my own '09 :-)

Take your time with the pix and enjoy every minute! Tint was one of the first mods I did to my '06 so I'm sure it will turn out great for you.

[iambrennan]

Ok Everyone...I know these aren't anything amazing, and the car is filthy so I deeply apologize.

Hopefully this will suffice until I can take some "real" pics soon! The suggestion box is also open =)

Enjoy!

p.s. I finally figured out how to upload the pics into the thread!

[AUDITOPGUN]

wow that car is hot congrats on your new toy.

[vividracing]

Very nice!!!

[KareemA4]

congrats
did you go to the collection?

[novitech-tuning]

Really nice man, I like the color.
Let me know whenever you are ready for the chip ! :o)

[a3cnj]

Awesome pics man! I can only hope mine looks that good when it gets here. I love the headlights, tails, wheels and especially the tint. What % did you end up going with.

[mcowger]

Many congrats!

I just picked up my new 09 2.0T quattro premium in Meteor Grey this week. No pics yet :)

Gorgeous color on yours!

[AJN334]

Great pics! All you need is the pop up cupholder to replace that row of dead buttons and it will be perfect!

Thats not something you usually find in a Audi...but I know they needed a extra button for the magnetic ride...

[iambrennan]

hey everyone...let me try responding to everyone...

thanks for the chip offer...I want to wait till about 1500 miles before I start adding mods.

15% on tint. I might have done 10%, but the place I go to has 5% as next level down...way too dark and kinda dangerous at night.

nope not collection, champion.

the car is phenomenal. the sports package with the seats and suspension really make a difference. anyone considering getting magnetic ride option...don't wast your money rather do the sports package. i might be a little bias since my mini cooper that i race has 2 way adjustable moton supsension =)

the color seems to be a real hit, its not new for 09, but the pearl effect on the LAVA grey is HOT i must say. You cant beat european paint for anything.

and speaking of paint, my good friend at the body shop suggested i paint the wheels titanium !?!?! yay or nay?

well that's it for now...bed time =)

[KiloByte]

That car must preform great with 211 hp. Nice choice.

[littlewhite]

Nice pix,the wheels reminds me of those Daisy wheels from Ronal

[AJN334]

That car must preform great with 211 hp. Nice choice.

211hp (longitudinal) TFSI is the motor in the B8 A4. The new A3 transverse 2.0T is still 200hp

[iambrennan]

Car gets detailed tomorrow...PICTURE TIME.

Is there anything about the car people want to see in particular?

[terje_77]

very nice

[a3cnj]

Car gets detailed tomorrow...PICTURE TIME.

Is there anything about the car people want to see in particular?

How about the front seats, Xenons and fogs on together, LED tails at night (up close and far away), engine shot, and the instrument cluster at night

I hope that's not too much

Thanks and have fun!
