Hi, all-
Thanks much for taking a look at my auction. Available here is a 2003 Audi Allroad with 2.7 Turbo engine and 6-speed manual transmission. Most are automatics, so if you've been waiting for a manual car, this may be the one for you. As with most cars this age and miles, it's not without its flaws, but it is an overall very clean example of an Allroad and should give the next owner many more miles of enjoyment. I've owned the car for about 2 years, and the recent purchase of an electric car has this one sitting around. I'll give a brief description of my car here, and please feel free to ask any questions you have.
Mechanical: It runs very well, with just a couple of maintenance items to tend to. The air suspension works well, with 3 of the 4 bladders, all of the struts, and the compressor having been replaced in the last 2 years. The car will be sold with an uninstalled replacement right-front bladder. The current one lost pressure on the coldest days this past winter. It will also need rear brake pads, as the existing ones are near the end of their service life. I very recently had the water pump, timing belt, and a thermostat gasket serviced... which sounds like a simple thing, but it's really not. I replaced the tires with Pirelli P6 Allroad all season tires about a year ago, and they have less than 2,000 miles on them. In summary, I don't think you'll find very much to service.
Electrical: Nearly everything works perfectly. Occasionally the remote lock fails to unlock the car, but once unlocked with the physical key, it seems to work fine. I've replaced the turn signal switch, which is a common ailment for this vintage of Audi. I've also replaced the original foggy headlamps with clear aftermarket units, and all of their auto-leveling function is retained and functional. The rear lamps have been replaced with LED lamps. There is an iPod adapter installed, and I replaced with radio, which works properly. As with the mechanical system, there's very little to tend to.
Interior: The interior is clean, with a few defects. The soft-touch paint has worn from the air conditioning controls and window switches, which is common. The driver-side window switch pod is a bit loose. The wood is not cracked or hazed. The seat covers are not split and the seams are good. If not for the soft touch pieces, it would be in great shape.
Exterior/Body: It's quite clean for its age, but there is an issue with the paint. Some time in 2007, the previous own had a body repair done to the front of the vehicle by the dealership, and in attempting to match the color, they sprayed the front half the car. Over time the color has faded differently that the back half, and under certain lighting conditions, you can see the difference. I attempted to take the photos under conditions that it is obvious, and if you look closely, you can see it in the photos (difference in color where front and rear doors meet). I bought it this way because the rest of the car was clean and had a good service history, and given that the repair was performed at a dealership, you can find it on its Carfax report. Beyond this, there are a few various small door dings and light scratches on the body, the largest of which are on the hood (from highway debris) and the rear bumper. I've also noticed that the left-front door is sometime difficult to latch... it takes a certain effort... and so the car will include a replacement latch mechanism. This is a common issue. Lastly, I had the wheels refinished last year, but there's a scratch on one of them, and they do need to be detailed.
In summary, it's a nice car, and I wouldn't hesitate driving it anywhere. As mentioned above, please ask any questions you may have.
A bit of small print: The car is being offered locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if a local buyer purchases the vehicle. A $500 deposit is needed within 48 hours of the end of the auction, and the balance is due within 7 days. Bidders with less than 10 feedback should contact me before bidding, or I may cancel your bid. Bidding is open internationally, and the buyer is responsible for all transportation and its arrangement. It's desired to have the vehicle picked up within 2 weeks following the conclusion of the auction. If you require more time, I can arrange storage at a cost.
Thanks again for looking!

Audi was out testing its upcoming S1 on the streets of Germany when our trusty spy photographers snapped the new, all-wheel-drive hot hatch that's set to succeed the limited-edition A1 Quattro.
Unlike the A1 Quattro, the S1 should sport a much less aggressive look overall. As shown in the spy shots, its wheel wells lack the meaty flairs of its predecessor while its rear wing is much more subdued. The wheels are more in line with what we expect from Audi's S models and its higher ride height is more conducive to common things like steep driveways and speed bumps that the 333-unit A1 Quattro might not encounter.
According to our spies, the S1 should hit the European market with anywhere from 220 to 250 horsepower, making it considerably more potent than competitors like the Ford Fiesta ST or Polo GTI from its parent company, Volkswagen (although it'll likely arrive at a considerably higher price than either of those pocket rockets). On the high end, that's roughly equal to the 252 ponies generated by the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four in the A1 Quattro

Typically when an automotive publication pits two rivals against each other, they come from different companies. After all, why would one automaker – even one parent company – develop two distinct models to compete against each other? Well, the Volkswagen Group isn't like most. It pits Porsches against Lamborghinis, Audis against Bentleys, Seats against Skodas... all under the same roof. In the high-powered hot hatch market, it offers both the VW Golf R and the Audi RS3. The question is, which is the better drive? Evo put them both on track for a quick bout of sibling rivalry to find out. On paper it would seem like an unfair fight. Sure, both are based on the same platform and channel their power to the tarmac through all four wheels. But the Audi's five-cylinder engine packs considerably more muscle than the Golf's four: 362 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque trump 296 hp and 280 lb-ft. There's just no way around that – at least until the Golf R 400 comes along. The Audi, as you might have guessed, also costs substantially more than the Volkswagen. But that's not Evo's concern here. This is a cost-no-object, bare-knuckle throw-down. Watch the ten-minute video above to find out if the cheaper, less powerful Golf R can keep pace with its more upscale and brawnier brother.

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
