The main reason was the ridiculous suspension set up. Shook my fillings out every time I drove it. Thought I could live with it after the test drive..I couldn't. The car was very tiring to drive over a distance. That and the interior just grated on me after a time. I'd downsized and thought I...
Consider size as well. I went to a large car to an A3 Sportback in January. It felt very small and the interior, while well built, is from a generation ago. I thought I could live with it....I couldn't. Now gone and replaced with an A5 Sportback.
The S-line looks great. But I'm one of the ones that berates the suspension. I bought a new 'Black Edition' Sportback in January. It's going on friday because I can't live with the uncompromising (which means solid) ride. I've had SRis, GTIs, Sports, etc etc versions of all my previous cars...
Thanks. I checked and it is 3 zone. I've decided to chop in my A3 and buy it. Silver (seems to be the only colour around) Sportback SE. I'm afraid I've realised I'm too old for the S Line suspension.
While I uderstand (I think) the difference between 2 and 3 zone, are there any visual differences. I'm looking at a used one on the net and the dealer only knows that it's got 'climate control'. Very helpful!! :)
Only had my sportback BE for four months, but the hard ride and limited spec has been more difficult to live with than I thought. Had a call from a dealer offering a pre-reg A5 Sportback SE (Softer suspension for the older chap :icon_thumright:) with lots of options. Good price to change and...
I may have the opportunity of a pre-reg A4 2.0d with a Multitronic gearbox. I'm usually a manual man and have read all the horror stories about the box.
Has it been improved? As it's a private purchase, I don't want to be facing disaster in a few years!!
Well, took it to a different place and they found a screw in the tyre. Fixed the puncture but took a big chunk out of the alloy and scratched it around the rim. They haven't argued and are willing to pay for a refurb, but I'm a bit worried that they won't be able to get an accurate colour match.
I'm having a problem with one of my rear wheels constantly losing air. There isn't a puncture so it must be the fitting of the tyre. Has anyone else had a similar problem. I'd take it to the dealer and get them to do it, but I suspect some major 'sucking of teeth' would take place. The car is...
I've had a BE Sportback for 3 months. The suspension is so hard, I'm actively looking to change it. I've had sports versions of cars for years, including some with 19" alloys, but none have ever felt like this does! I just don't think I can live with it longterm
