Driving the 170BHP 8P Quattro now in S Line guise and S Line suspension and was hanging on and on for the 184BHP 8V as passed on the 150BHP Quattro (It was on DE so if came here next) mainly as thought it was a push as a combination (Did see a Youtube video where the 150BHP went head to head...

Last 5 years have had me driving 8P 170BHP S Line Quattro's and have just loved the performance/economy balance it gives me and I was all ready to go for either the 150 BHP Diesel or the 140BHP ACT SLine Sportback But the new GTD being available now with the 184PS & DSG on the new platform with...

Obviously the love here is for Audi but sure many like I also appreciate certain VW Models and the GTi and GTD are very much in that category and given all your justification, very strong reasoning to switch. I can afford a Standard GTi but want DSG and when you see the review on Auto Express...

Given I am likely to order in May it was brought to my attention that there will be yet another option to choose from! The Saloon! But my worry at being back to choosing again was shortlived as my initial take from photos is that it would have to really wow me in the flesh to have me move away...

Sepang is my favourite colour, nothing else comes close and I even priced it up at expense of every other option and could actually have my A3 that colour but it's simply just too mad to do it - On subject of the Golf GTi I priced a manual one up and could have the non performance pack version...

Thanks again guys :) Ok, after much debate I am pretty settled on everything now including the engine This is having specced the 1.4 TFS1 2.0 TDi and 1.8 TFSi and balanced out the pros and cons, whilst also abandoning all thoughts of the coming Quattro/184BHP option. The engine however is...

Getting close to ordering now and as we all seem to do here, have created myself a dilemma of the 1.4 TFSi variety as going for this over the 2.0 150BHP basically loads my purchase as below Know some here have the 1.4 TFSi so views please on this engine and performance? - Realise I am going for...

Not ordered mine yet so obviously of interest but my research and previous A3 knowledge indicates there will be a 'slim' spare - As I was looking at Q3 also, then I can confirm that a spare is an optional extra so think your salesman is confusing the two and my advice is find another salesman :)

The power in my present 170BHP does come in a rush and is put to ground by the Quattro and manually managed by me, so was just wondering how the STRONIC manages Diesels opposed to petrols? Think the question ask is why would want that extra power and acceleration? For me its just to know it is...

Good Afternoon Checked today and the Comfort Pack is in as given getting sensors anyway then the difference in what else receive makes it a very good value upgrade. Think most kind enough to reply have covered everything and so pretty solid and clear on most things though if there are some...

Getting there! Did not realise the SD Sat Nav fed to DIS also and that was one of aspects that added to Tech Pack thoughts. But given DAB is standard addition also now the Tech Pack is abandoned and standard SD Sat Nav it is. BUT! Was looking at Rear Sensors and seen it was part of the...

Good Afternoon Thanks for replies guys :) Think the first thing I need to keep in thought is not to overly compare to the 8P as essentially this is a completely new car that is retaining its A3 persona. Suspension We are essentially from these comments saying the experience of the standard...

About a month away from ordering my next vehicle, with my previous two being Audi A3 Sline 2.0 TDi 170 BHP Quattro - This is review made in early days of the second A3 http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/106421-my11-a3-2-0tdi-170bhp-s-line-review.html If anyone wants my...
