Thankyou for all your replies. I have decided to take a day off work in a couple of weeks time and test drive the A3 back to back with the Golf, just to compare the performance difference. I don't want to go down the modded route.... We have a fleet policy for our cars at work and after a call...

Would his affect the warranty, do you think? I'm a bit worried how this may affect insurance premiums as well as resale values too.

Thankyou for your reply... I thought that this would be the case.... It's a shame.... I can't figure it out, unless Audi don't want to compete directly with the golf. Maybe it's related to emissions... I really don't know.

Hello, this question has been raised a few times, but I am wondering if anyone knows whether Audi will ever put their 2.0 211 bhp engine in the sportback. If they did, I would order one tomorrow. Im currently driving a 9-3 Aero and the 1.8 litre Audi petrol just doesn't give me quite enough...

Sadly, this question is beyond my limited knowledge..... Probably best to have a word with your accountant...

Hi Croftj. If you take out a lease plan on a car, Vat is normally added to the monthly amount. If you are self employed and registered for vat, you can reclaim half of the vat element back of the lease. You may recall that you could claim all the vat back on a commercial vehicle, like a Toyota...

May I ask..... Are you self employed? Half the Vat can be claimed back on a lease plan, if you wish to explore that route...

Cats? Who mentioned anything about house pets! Ha ha!

I have always been of the opinion that PCP contracts are set up for those that wish to change cats regularly and I have used them in my business in the past, but I prefer the freedom of a loan. The freedom to pay off early, the freedom to sell, the freedom to refinance if necessary. I hope this...

Hello..... How does this compare if you went on line and looked at a personal loan calculator over 3 and 4 years, borrowing £22,000? Just a thought....... I'm not a financial expert and depends on how long you wish to keep the car for, but I've never been a fan of balloon payments. I am sure...

Not for a long time.... The last time I drove a diesel was on holiday last year and it was an a4. It was smooth enough, but lacking in power... I'll give the diesel (183) a test drive on your recommendation... If you have been used to 200 bhp it won't be much different to me..... Plus my old...

Ha ha! Very funny... Excellent... I'll stay south of the river... The last time I drifted into Essex, I was in a hired white van on the way to Ikea at lakeside. Never again.

Where in the country are you, Snakehips? I might change my mind if you live closeby! I'm in Kent. I would hate to ruin your exclusivity! I've chosen the same equipment as you for the options... I just can't make up my mind whether to go for the 183 diesel or the 180 petrol...as mentioned in the...

Well..... Just a quick update.....,I have been to see the A3 in question and I have made up my mind. Shiraz red is the colour for me! It looks fantastic!

Thanks for all the replies... I've called a few dealers and I think that I have had success in finding an A3 locally, which I can view, but I'll have to be quick as it is being collected by its new proud owner tomorrow. As an aside, many many moons ago, I had a company Rover 220. It was night...

Good evening...... As the title says really..... I am configuring my A3 and am looking for something a little different, colour wise, and I keep getting drawn to the Shiraz red. I've not sent he colour in the flesh.... I will have to try and find a dealer with a car this colour to have a look...

Thank you Sandra....

Thanks Sean..... I've been a loyal Saab driver for 10 years now and I'll be a bit sad to see it go, but times change and I want a decent car. Mine has had the Hirsch treatment so still pushes out 230 bhp, but it is a heavy beast! If you could dig out the article, that would be great. Many...

Hello all, it is time to say goodbye to my Saab 9-3 Aero and have short listed the new A3 as a replacement.... The thing is, I will miss the power if I opt for the 1.8T and the S3 will be too expensive for me to run. What I really want is the 211 bhp 2.0T Quattro from the old A3.. Does anyone...
