    Problems: broken clutch pedal. design flaw or driver flaw, I also managed to break Guy's TT's around the same period, while my friend in his A3 also broke his

    Other than that, car's been problem free since brand new in 2001. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to spend around 15k on a well built hatch with a bit of poke, but not as "boy racer" as a Polo GTI. The car's easy and quite fun to mod, lots of parts available online and from local suppliers.
    Go APR!!
