    What made you pick an A3 ?

    Being skint! Picking the A3 as a company car over another Scirocco saves me a pretty penny; £30 a month tax, £30 a month lower contribution towards the cost of the car not to mention I'm making a very good profit when claiming back the Govt. official mileage rate of 15p per mile. A minimum of...

    Spotters Thread For 8V Chassis

    M50 heading towards Ross on Wye, 03 September. Black 1.6 Tdi on a 63 plate, taking it nice and easy on what must have been one of his first days of driving.

    Petrol 1.4 122 & 140 C.O.D. & Diesel 1.6 105 & 2.0 150 MPG/Cost

    I'm in the 2.0 litre tdi 150. Averaging 55/56 mpg with non Devon and Cornwall trips averaging in the high fifties/early sixties. Very happy with that as I don't hang about at all and keep the car in dynamic. The car's just over four months old and has 10k on it and keeps getting looser with...

    Should I opt out of the Sport Suspension for my A3 order?

    I've the S line with the S line suspension. I don't find it that harsh at all. In fact, after driving the Scirocco sometimes the A3 feels like I'm driving a marshmallow... The last three cars I've driven have all had dropped/sports suspensions - I like how the car grips the road and corners...

    S-Line config vs Sport/SE

    I'm a company car driver who got talked out of ordering another Scirocco and into getting an A3 by a colleague as we were both trying to save some money. He got the Sport as that had no personal cost contribution and I ordered the S Line because I wanted the Xenons. The difference between the...

    SD Sat Nav, Opinions please by those that have it

    I've the SD navigation and I've used it every day since I got the car a week or so ago. It's the first time I've had an in built navigation system and to be honest I wasn't expecting much. Cons: I miss the speed camera bongs I used to get on CoPilot and for some reason it doesn't let me input...

    Post Pics Of Your A3/S3 8v In Here

    Mine arrived today; 2.0 tdi S Line in bog standard red with satnav added and the dropped S line suspension. No media cables of course (thanks for the heads up) but at least I've managed to set up my iPhone so I can listen to decent music. It's a company car, one I've picked as part of an...

    1st of March - Anyone else?

    Mine's in the garage and I'm just waiting to find out if they can deliver it this week. Cleaned out my Scirocco in preparation for it to go back, kind of sad to see it go as it's been great fun to drive but I'm looking forward to my first Audi.

    A3 Sat Nav Updates

    Audi Gloucester seem to think otherwise. Stuck my head in last week to find out about the Nav and was told the maps would likely be six months out of date when fitted and that there would be no updates for the life of the car. I kind of wish I'd not specced it now.

    Road abuse!

    I don't know what it is about white BMWs but (imo) there's not a decent driver behind the wheel of any one of them. Add to that any B*sch W*rcester van driver, afore-mentioned spotty oiks in twenty year old not-so-super minis and the Mercedes driving sixty plus brigade (aka 60mph outer lane...

    A3 real fuel consumption

    That's brilliant. How are you driving? Is it over long distances, motorways, just on Eco etc etc. Sorry to be a pest but I've ordered the same model as you and comments on here would suggest others are getting nothing like that.

    Ordered my first Audi, thought I'd better say hello.

    Hi all, I've been lurking for the last few days, having a good read of all the helpful tips and FAQs and mainly laughing at the Parking thread (nearly had one for you this morning, being in Cheltenham - home of the 4x4 townie drivers - I could probably contribute every day). I've ordered an...
