i think this particular A3 is fwd though, but a awd A3 shouldnt be too hard to locate. You should defintely beable to find a AWD A3 for 25k. goodluck

Besides the cars you've listed, Scion tC is another good choice. Its peppy, decently priced (17k i believe), pretty loaded for standard features. Reliable as well.

Well I just got a 2006 GTI Black, no options, just DSG. I test drove it and fell in love, the transmission is awesome.
I got it for invoice, around 23k out the door. Not too shabby. That thing has some pep.
Also, my C32 to me is my FUN car. I do really enjoy it, I bought it CPO'd so it had already taken a large HIT. I plan on keeping it until it's paid off, same with the GTI. I just wanted to ensure I kept the C32 under warranty until it expired via date, not milage.
Thanks everyone for their advice, I'll post up pics of the GTI in a few hours. They are transfering it from another dealer and prepping it as I type this.
