If it's like quite a few people I know, they'd have no idea whether their BMW is 4 vs 6 cylinders or AWD, FWD, RWD (or some combination thereof).

Paragon Acura is a garbage dealership. Plaza Acura isn't much better.

Me. I am replacing a TSX and I was digging Audi and wanted Quattro. Problem I have a family and I could not go much smaller then the TSX which the A3 is. The front seat is great but that back seat is too small, i am 6ft and I can feel my hairs brush the ceiling and it is not very wide, no way to fit a family of 4 comfortably. But saying all that I would buy an A3 2t Quattro p+ in a heartbeat if I was single no kids. It is fast, looks good without being super flashy, the car interior is very driver oriented and if you do not load it like crazy actually a good value.

I hope the TLX meets most of my needs and I expect it will but will go with FWD.

I'm in the target market for the A3; i'm 6ft as well...i didn't feel cramped at all in it actually; it felt fine to me. Even the loaded one, is $44k or so...and the car has been out since March/April...so there are good deals to be had between now and the end of the year.

Stay away from Paragon! If you're in Queens/LI I would recommend Rallye in Roslyn.

Notice I said fitting a family a 4 comfortably. There is one thing to be a couple of dudes, but transporting a family of 4, just too tight, and my reference point is a TSX, so I have good ground to compare to. Nice car and deals can be had, just wish it was bigger :-(...I can't go backwards in size. In fact at one point we had 4 guys sitting in it, and the 2 people in front adjusted seats so they are comfortable and it felt tight. Ranging from 6ft - 5-5. Nice car though.
