or

2) Audi A3 (2011 11) plate Hatch back 2.0 TDI (138) S Tronic Black edition. £18,000 from Audi.

Welcome along

Usual question we all ask first is....What's your annual mileage?
 
The first one then, based on the fact it's the TFSI, petrol.

The diesels have a DPF filter which works better on longer runs and if you don't drive it very far can get clogged up and you'll run into all sorts of problems.

Any other TFSI Black Editions to comare the first option with?

Yeah I agree, with that mileage, petrol is a better bet & spec is good.

No not really. I've seen them on 11 plates same spec just without the Quattro and a grand cheaper is the Quattro worth the extra £1000?

Most people would say yes, I wish I got a Quattro. Why don't you get an 2009 S3? ( not sure how much they are but can't be far off your 18k surely?)
 
If I had a chance, I'd go for Quattro, but in all honesty, we have fwd cars at & they're perfectly ok.

Only driving 5k a year? Might as well do them quickly with a big fat smile. The TFSI Quattro.

Mike the S3 is too expensive on insurance and tax

Guys I think you have sold it to me, in only 8 posts lol:yes:
 
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you but shop around, you might find one with better spec for the same kind of money.
