Kevin Tay says the 2012 Audi A3 S-Line represents something unique to him; the A3 is a vehicle not often modified. He was particularly drawn to the hatchback style, "the second I took the car for a test drive, it was clear this was the vehicle for me," Tay mentions. Since the purchase, he's added a Precision 5558 turbocharger, AirLift Auto Pilot V2, and a custom audio trunk setup.
