Cause they aren't there. I got tired of screwing with the forum software.
I could post a link to another web site which would be much easier, hopefully no one will get their panties in a twist.
For those that don't know, I owned two Miatas, both with modified suspensions, roll bar, larger wheels and Azenis tires for the past 13 years. I tracked my first Miata and took it to Thunderhill, Laguna, and Sears Point (Infineon). I a/x'd for 4 years. It took A LOT of courage to get me outside my box and even consider the A3.
The test drive sealed it for me. I was able to take the car on a very curvy, hilly road with zero traffic. I was laughing maniacally the whole time!
So, I bought a '07 2.0T S-line, DSG, Open sky, Cold weather, tech package a few weeks ago. BTW, it has the ContiSport2 (amazing tire). I thought I would never buy a fwd car. But with it's amazing steering, EDL, ESP, CBC, and Electronic brake force distribution, the car barely had any understeer. If the the fronts do break traction in a straight line, there isn't any drama, and the wheel doesn't fight you. Torque steer is practically non-existent. I've not driven a chipped A3, so the extra 30 or so hp and increase in torque might change the previous statement re: torque steer.
I'm stunned that I couldn't feel the extra weight of the back of the car, even with a passenger back there, as I thought the car would simply have too much roll. Wrong. It's an amazingly tuned chassis.
BTW: No I don't miss the clutch. And I was darn good at heel/toeing!
