2010 Audi A3 TDI S canyon test ride part 1

Testing 2010 Audi A3 TDI S-line on a twisty, narrow canyon road.
Not a lot of power, but the engine torque pulls well through and
out of the turns. Great handling with no body roll; tight chassis and sport suspension handled the turns well.
No tire squeals, mostly because the car was pushed only approx. 75% of its limit. Nice, well rounded package and great European look.
Filmed with a windshield-mounted VholdR Contour HD, the TDI is very quiet, so not much of a sound here, so either crank up the volume or use your own fav sound clip. I felt it would have been in poor taste to overlay any sound clip of my choice here, no matter how good it may be imo.

damn!! thats fast driving! what was the average mph/kmh?

[tubocaldo]

Not sure about the overall average speed, wasn't really paying attention to that. You can't go very fast due to the road configuration and how narrow it is. And the official speed limit of course...:)

@AcumenBusiness

Your comm would have been appreciated and appropriate if it was only applicable to my video. As in perhaps some crazy city street driving with people around. There were no people on this remote canyon road , not even a single car in my lane! So I have no idea what you are talking about. This was a perfectly safe test drive on a quiet road with no intersections, sidewalks and pedestrians. Surely you can see it wasn't a stunt drive either. Please post your comments more apptly.
