    MY11 A3 2.0TDi 170BHP S line review

    To be honest I have only been out on my own in it for about 5 miles, but I am due a trip to Nottingham next week so will no doubt have it up loud and give it a true test. Bit of Stairway to Heaven full blast maybe ;o) Had the Black Eyed Peas on today 'The End' and that does show off the...

    MY11 A3 2.0TDi 170BHP S line review

    The fact that I used to notice quite readily how 'dusty' my previous A3 looked made it an issue for me, and in certain lights she would look quite grey...There was also times, again in certain light when she would sparkle of course.. But instant reaction to the briiliant is that I prefer it, it...

    MY11 A3 2.0TDi 170BHP S line review

    Firstly this is not really aimed at those who know Audi inside out, its really for those visiting forum and are maybe thinking of switching to Audi and particularly looking at an A3.

    Black Edition

    Lets just call it metallic black vs Brilliant Black ;o) I had the metallic and I did like it, but it could look 'dusty' in certain lights and the fact I noticed that says enough to show it as an issue. So in choosing the next one I had the choice of metallic or the sound pack and went to the...
