Hi Guys.
Just registered on the forum and in typical 'newbie' style, I've got a simple question I hope you can help with.
Looking at purchasing an A3, although I'm not sure what engine/spec as yet.
First off, I'm getting conflicting information regarding when the facelift version was released
Am I right in thinking:
First generation (Typ 8L, 19962003)
Second generation (Typ 8P/8PA, 2003present)
The second generation, is this the version where the bigger grill that runs from the bonnet to the bottom bumper
or is this a further revised/facelift version?
Also, can anyone explain the various trim levels/extras eg s-line spec, Sports, SE, etc, etc as when looking at the classifieds I'm just trying to get my head around how well spec'd some cars are against others.
Engine wise, 2.0FSI or 1.9 TDI your opinions?
Thanks in advance.
George
