My new Car
Hi Folks:
Got my new car 3 weeks ago. Traded my 2002 Maxima for a 2006 Audi A3, with the dsg tranny and the premium packsge, in brilliant red. First impressions are good. What a great handling car.

Sounds like a fun car...but where are the pics? I suppose it's too cold to detail it for a while?

The MAF sensor is a commonly-replaced item on the 2K2s I believe. Other than that, it's a d*mn nice car, those 2K2s and 2K3s.
255HP/6spd MT =

Misterbobo:
No problems what so ever with the Maxima. The best car I ever had...so far. The MAF sensor problems were mostly with people who put in air intake systems. Not needed with 255 hp. It would be a great car for you to get.

Baker- Cool car  How is the response of the drive-by-wire? Any hesitation during standing starts? |

OK, thanks. I've had so many issues with Audi's DBW systems that it's the first thing I need to know about when I consider their offerings. |

Ok, I'm trying to post a pic of the car, but it says my file is too large, 1280 X 1024 instead of 640 x 480, or whatever. Is there any way I can change this to post it?

the easiest way is to start a photobucket account http://www.photobucket.com/ register. It is easy. I registered without the wife's help. Move your pictures to the site. once pictures are in your photobucket album copy and paste the image tag to the forum posting area.
