Why can't I buy an A3 Sportback here?
The car situation in the US drives me ****ing crazy. Why can I not buy a simple A3 sportback without the damn e-tron option?
I just want a nice S line A3 Sportback. Why do German manufacturers not send over their best models to the US? It's one of the worst aspects of living here, the complete unavailability of decent cars. |

That said, I hate it that some manufacturers won't import manuals into the US. :(

Don't you think that's an eenie-weenie bit of an exaggeration? :unsure:

Or estate cars! I just read BMW are canning the Touring because the Americans don't like them. It blows my mind. Why do they not like good cars here?

It lowers the fleet mpg. Modern automatics/cvt get higher rated mpg than manuals.
As for mpg, I've never seen an auto get better mpg than a manual. Also, why do people give a shit about mpg in America? Fuel here is cheaper than drinking water! I fill mine up with 98RON for $25. INSANE. |

So what is left? I just want a 1.4-1.8 TFSI A3 sport / hatchback. Maybe a Golf or Estate, but then we (I, heh) wanted the Audi. |
Re: Why can't I buy an A3 Sportback here?
I've got a 1.8 TSI Golf, 2016 model. It's solid, can't fault it.
Seen an advert the other day for a new Golf estate. Sport wagen i think it was called. But - like you, if i could, i'd go for the A3 sportback over the golf. |
