Thinking of buying A3...

[dan888]

Hi,

I joined the forum today after advice from the excellent tt-forum.

I'm thinking of buying a new A3 so am after a little advice on all things A3 from those that know.

A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI 170 S-Line with a few extra toys.

Opinions I'd be interested in;

Is the 170BHP the one to go for?

Is the 170BHP 2 wheel drive OK or will it overwhelm the grip? Should I be looking at the Quattro?

What are the must have toys?

How much movement do the Audi dealers allow on price. I'm currently looking at Broadspeed and the Top Gear magazine target prices?

Is S-Line the trim to go for or does Sport offer better VFM?

Does S-Line offer full leather? (I think I have slightly old brochures)

I have also noticed aluminium gear knob & aluminium vent dials, are these available as options?

If I order now when would I expect delivery? And would this be "MY08"? (also what is MY08?)

Appologies for long list of questions, look forwards to replies...

Dan

Hey bud, better of asking in the 8p section - thats where the owners of this car will be lurking.

Lovely to drive tho, plenty of power and grip is fine unless its raining. Cant answer your other questions unfortunately
