i was thinkin' the same thing. it's like the entry level model isn't it?

no, it's the hatchback model. it is not an "entry-level a4". audi dropped the ball with their naming, i don't think it should have been placed in the a series. nonetheless i'm still surprised at how people, even audi dealers, treat the a3 like it's a baby benz or whatever. i looked into the car and i couldn't find a fully loaded one on the lot with nav system, leather, bluetooth, etc because the dealers assumed that people would buy an a4 if they wanted to spend that much money.

first line on Wiki's A3 page:

"The Audi A3 is an entry-level luxury car/small family car."

once again, Wiki steers me wrong. and i agree, they def messed up w/ the naming. still like the S4 betta.

It's a pretty common car here in Brazil, lots of A3's on the streets. Costs about 40k without armour, and if you bulletproof it it goes to about 70k total. Got 180 horsepower and manual gear so it can do 0-100km/h pretty fast, even with all the added weight

it's very similar to this

we don't care about the car (obv brag by you), so post the security vids and quit avoiding it.

jw are they bullet proof from rifle rounds?

did the security guards know your car was bullet proof? or were they just gonna let these guys jack you?

One thing I remember from my trip to Brazil years ago was some uncle telling me that after midnight or something it was legal to go through red lights when there were no cars coming because so many poeple would get car jacked while sitting at a light. I think this was only for Rio. True?

True in Mexico City.

this is a good point. what's the point of the security guard if he just watches while guys are trying to kidnap you.
