Default One more month to go, then I can start worrying..

Leaving 10 year old reliable Volvo.
Now, I have to worry about:

1. Someone hitting it in a parking lot (Always happens to my new cars :-(
2. Will it be in the shop all the time?
3. Someone might steal it?
(Theft may be less of a problem with A3 than cars with a high spare parts demand, and the joyriders won't want to be seen in a "wagon" :-)

One advantage of old cars.. You just don't care what happens to them.

High spare parts demand is the main reason why chose A3 instead of GT Mustang

Default Actually, if the parking is angled, some minivans are okay.

The front doors can't hit you, and the rears are sliding doors.

Regardless, I still park a mile away. I could use the exercise.
