You have probably been asked a question like this before but need some help.
Im after a new A3, around Apr next year. I have a present a Subaru Impreza WRX, had it since new and is 3 years old.
Im off to Germany next year and now the Impreza is
a. getting on a bit and
b. im after a car that would be better suited to the long journeys back and forward to UK.
The S3 would be the natural progression from a WRX but im still lumbered with high fuel costs, tyres and servicing etc and if the majority of its time is spent on a motorway/autobahn then is it wasted.
Im also interested in 2.0FSI Quattro, near same performance, better fuel etc.
Then there is the 2.TDI 170, good fuel, and performance isnt too shabby.
Im not a nutter in the Subaru, but i would miss the performance of it so i dont want to go too conservative!
Then there is the case of DSG or Manual??
I can get it Tax Free, there is perks to this job, but after speccing a S3 on the Audi online site, i was hitting S4 money! And i really want the A3.
Any ideas or pointers? Im off to Poole Audi on Mon to have a chat with the lads there and have a test drive in something.
