Just sold my 172 to get an A3!Its great round the corners and decent in a straight line,mpg i got 32ish average. I sold it because something new fell off it everytime i got in it to go to work,i had it for about 3 months and it cost me £2200 to buy and £1800 to fix in that time!

Cheers Tom ill be sure to ask the seller,these 2 have just caught my eye... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201013355931371/sort/locasc/usedcars/engine-size-cars/1-7l_to_1-9l/price-to/5000/model/a3/make/audi/radius/1500/postcode/fy55ng/page/5?logcode=p...

My thoughts were that im planning a remap anyway,so thats £400 saved straight away,its a quattro which is nice and full audi/vw service history,my only problem is,harsh bushes,lowered suspension and what look like low profile tyres=always hitting the bumpstops!

As many of you will have read im looking for an A3,my budget is £4k. Ive just seen this: http://pistonheads.com/sales/1617380.htm Looks nice but im slightly worried about the lowering,i want the car to be comfortable and from experience a lowered car doesnt provide that,are german...

Cheers folks, For the money theres nothing out there as fun to drive as the clio other than maybe an mx5,it handles like its on rails and pulls well,very chuckable,however the build quality lets it down and you tend to get lots of niggly problems that end up driving you mad. Ive been looking...

Hi Folks, Ive just sold my clio 172 and im after something a bit better built that still retains the same fun factor. It seems i can get a 80-110k A3 1.8T for between £1700 and £2500 which is my current budget,however alot of them seem to be automatics,ive never had an auto as i think they...
