hello looking to buy a black edition found a 2011 11 plate A3 Black Edition with the original style wheels in silver(unfortunately - would prefer the black especially on a white car) would i be correct in thinking this car is probably a 2010 built car which hasnt been registered until...

i'm going to buy 4wd car next, previous cars ive kept the longest 4years+ are impreza turbo and R32 and my next buy needs to be a keeper I enjoyed the assurance that 4wd gives in the Bad weather, my current car was pretty hopeless in the recent bad weather(snow) maybe the petrol quattro is the...

thanks for the replies and info uys I was hoping for more MPG than that from a diesel, i'm looking for car with good MPG with ever increasing fuel prices and the sure footed ness of 4wd - so have a limited choice really Maybe i should forget the MPG and just get an S3

Hello been looking at changing my current car Golf gti Edition 30, due to new job and extra mileage each week I've been looking around for 2007/8/9 3 door sline quattro with mileage below 20K, will be looking to keep this car for few years, so think Audi would be a safe bet for a solid...

Hi Looking for your advice recently sold my Mk4 R32, and thinking of buying a sline 170tdi my budget is £19k - what year am i realisticaly going to buy for this money. Would ideally like the quattro - esp coming from a haldex 4wd car? Im hoping with no part ex - i can bargain hard with...

Just saw road test of New S3 on Maxi test - Motors channel Gave it a good review! car looked great in orange not sure id have the guts to buy one in orange though Im sure they will repeat over the next month

cheers guys ill try Bristol Audi first thanks for the number hopefully be able to trade dealers off against each other especially since there is no Discount on the S3

Hi Looking to part ex my mkIV golf R32 for New S3 Can anyone recommend Audi Dealers in South West England Area? Local Dealers where i live South Wales think they have monopoly on car market, so part Ex offers are very poor! Im happy to travel to save money cheers

thanks guys for the info - sounds very tempting to get 2.0t chipped To get into a A3, i need to sell my car private to get fair price and also be able to shop around for the best deal on A3 using Drivethedeal or Broadspeed.

If audi dealer would arrange the remap then i would certainly consider this route, which Tuner does Audi apporove is it MTM or Oetinger without effecting the warranty?

thanks i dont really want to go the remap route but in fairness i dont think there would be much in performance between my R32 and A3 2.0t quattro? esp in Mid range hence why i think the 170tdi would feel plenty quick enough between 30mph to 80mph, with the extra torque the engine delivers...

Hi guys More advice wanted still unsure which route to go down with buying an A3 S3 is really tempting but price with extras nearly puts it at £30k for me and also buying a car which i havnt driven - although im sure it will be great! How would the A3 170tdi compare in Mid range...

Hi Just come back from test drive in the S-Line Se quattro at local dealer. Car was great, if not quite performance of my current car but superior build quality. Dealer can source me a new car within 2weeks with spec i wanted Bose, Symphoney and 20 spoke 18" alloys in either Misano Red or...

I'm after advice about purchasing a S3, looking at spending up to £22k, would this be a safe purchase or is depreciation likely to be high? What am i likely to get for this sort of money and would S3 be a better long term prospect than R32 Currently have a SLK 320 manual and looking to get...
