I have had the same Yakima rack since 1995. Originally bought for use on my Toyota tercel, moved over to a Saturn SL2 and most recently used on my 2000 Honda Accord. Moving it from the various makes and roof styles has required purchasing some updated mounting hardware from Yakima but that cost has been minimal compared to the original outlay for the cross bars bike racks and ski racks. I haven't looked into the necessary updates I will need to move it to the A3 but do not expect any troubles or major expense in doing so. The Yakima rack has always been rock solid for me and for several friends who also use them.
Yeah, I have PILES of Yakima parts, great point, and frankly love the all-black on every part. Might have to go old-school on my new S3.
Sorry for digging up an old thread but when I was looking to get bars for my S3 I found it difficult to find any pictures. I thought I would post a couple pics of the factory bars mounted for those wanting to see what they look like.
Have a Thule flow 606 on order for Ski season, I'm hoping it will suit the car.
