You know the web site.
First I'd try do some research, and talk to some people that have the same cars, or similair makes or models.
Anyways, you could also look on google, and some car forums. Check for things like transmission problems, and reliability.
Here's a link I found about the reliability of an Audi A4, not the same car, and a fair bit older, but the problems may still remain in the A3.

Damn my first car was a 1965 VW bug with no floor boards in the back seat
Im listening homie, and your not saying shit.
vw bugs are killer, those floor boards love to rust out in those things. shit buy a decent running bug in good cond for like 5k and pocket 25k
it sounds like you need to decide what type of vehicle you want first.Originally Posted by ReeceO
Truck? Sedan? Coupe? etc etc.....then compare models.....then trim levels.....then pick options, colors etc.
You should end up with like maybe 2 or 3 individual cars that fit your choices. Then pick one.

Did I mention the cost of a 1965 VW Bug in 1995 was 1100.00, I showed up with 900.00 cash from a summer job and the ride was mine...
This 30 K first car shit is crazy, your too young to appreciate that kind of vehicle.
This is kind of what it looked like with out the special paint, same color but 1965 smaller old school tail lights

like dale said.. choose what type of car you want then go on from there.
and do some of your own research, dont let US tell YOu what to get. maybe you can ask if anyone has that type of car and how they like it. try some car forums. and YES. GOOGLE IS VERY GOOD.
jesus. what do your parents do? that might help me answer your question
mmm are audis really that hard to maintain? cause if soo i would go for the tacoma
btw this isnt my first car..i have an old beat up 4runner im driving around right now, im still grateful to have a car thoo
and im not saying 30k is my limit, something well below it.
i got the 97 exploder for 3900
i'm ed.
super swampers and 10" lift=gay redneck truck
i have done some research...i was just asking for your opinion on which would be best to go with overall.
go die. i hate you already.
what is this i dont even
redneck trucks are life
i'm ed.
I prefer vehicles that can actually perform offroad. They look good, but thats about it. pirate4x4.com. nuff said
wish the exploder could do that stuff
i'm ed.
Keep the 4Runner and use the money to make it sick!!!

buy a mess of skimboards and give one to me

haha yeahh i would keep it cuase i think its such a sweet suv but its an L4 which makes it really sloww and everythings been breaking on it latlely..rear windows wont work, antenna wont go down and im not getting that good of gas mileage on it even after changing the filters and oil and plugs. overall having a used car is such a hassle to maintain.
how old is it?
worked on an audi today at work. hydraulic lines leading to the top were leaking, long story short audi charged us $61 for like 2 pints of their hydraulic fluid, almost $300 for the lines, etc. needless to say have money for repairs if stuff starts going wrong if you want an audi.
i understand ya on that. but if it is maintained from the start, you shouldn't have too many problems. yeah window motors/regulators go, power antenna's go. hard to avoid those burning out, just happens over time.
Overall? Taco. There's few things (if any, really) a double cab Taco can't do that an A3 can - you get the same passenger capacity and 4 wheel drive. But with a Taco you have a flat bed (the only annoyance there is that people ask to borrow it), off-road capability, and greater reliability.
The only thing you don't get with a Taco is the status of owning and Audi.
There's a good chance you've handled my ass-pennies. That gives me the edge.
i wish my parents gave me 30k to graduate.
IRB.
and if you get a taco and are like "wow, i love my new taco!" some people may be like "i mean, i'd prefer a burrito"
if you say you love your audi, no one will confuse it with a (delicous) food item
that would weigh heavily in my decision
yeahh thanks for all your help, im leading more toward the tacoma becuase of how it will better me in the long run
yeah the a3 is sick but id prefer having something to drive then having my car in the shop.
again..thank you for your help.
i still have a year to decide thoo but ill most likely be sticking with the taco ha
go with the taco for sure, im getting ready to buy one myself this weekend. ive been comparing cars for the last year or so and im pretty much set, just worried about dropping that kind of cash at once
I promise, 30K could easily fix every one of those problems.

yeah, rock crawling is fun. but. here in florida, we dont have rocks. we have mud, and swamps. so our vehicles are suited for that.
what is this i dont even
