I had been hunting for a b5 or b6 S4 Avant for a year. Push finally came to shove and I had to buy something. The result was that I had run across this 07 A3 3.2 SLine and bought it.
I live in NC. The car was in Ft Lauderdale. I flew down yesterday and drove it 14 hours home....yesterday. Here's what I learned.
25 mpg averaging 75mph.
Throttle response at highway speeds was outstanding.
High speed braking was outstanding. I came upon stopped traffic on the I95 and it stopped with ease.
A tractor trailer immediately in front of me spit out a truck tire karkus(sp). I was in easy cruise mode. definitely not up on the wheel. the evasive action to miss that tire was abrupt and significant and the car performed marvelously.
I was hit by 3 thunderstorms. One bad enough that many cars went to flashers. The Quattro killed that situation.
Lastly, it has a nice ride for long trips like that.
