A piece of shit that has had 6 or 7 crash-landings because of a defect in the front landing gear. And history teaches us that if you work the controls too hard, the rudder snaps off (AA #587).

The A320 is a narrow-body airliner developed by Airbus in the 1980s. It was designed to compete with the Boeing 737 Classic and the McDonnell Douglas MD-90 and it was the first commercial airliner to make use of digital fly-by-wire control. The aircraft is powered by either CFM-56 or IAE V2500 engines producing approximately 120kN/27,000lbf of thrust each. In 2010, Airbus launched an updated version of the A320 called the A320neo, where "neo" stands for "New Engine Option". This aircraft comes with new engines (CFM LEAP 1A or Pratt and Whitney PW1100G) and new blended winglets known as Sharklets and these upgrades make the aircraft around 15-20% more fuel efficient than its predecessor.
The Airbus A320's main competitor is the Boeing 737NG, an updated version of the 737 Classic which the A320 was initially designed to compete with
