    What made you pick an A3 ?

    Without wishing to hijack this thread, just a word on the engineers thing. The country does make a HUGE difference, that's why there are far more engineering based companies in Germany/Japan even the USA compared to us. Germany has a excellent tradition of engineering apprenticeships, we don't...

    What made you pick an A3 ?

    I have a Aero eng degree from a British uni so I have nothing against British engineering, I'm just saying as I find. As do many others as the largest British owned car company usto be the firm that made Black cabs and even that went bust recently. If there were many good British engineers we...

    What made you pick an A3 ?

    Had to be German, Germans/Japanese are the best mechanical engineers around but German cars hold their value better. Didn't want anything too big as do a lot of driving in London and the more/size mass a car has the worse it is to drive. Thus didn't get E-Class Coupe even though it looks great...

    Class of 63 - got the hang of things?

    Loving my new 1.8 s-tronic. I do notice a slight delay e.g. pulling out at roundabouts, think is because it tries to do it in 2nd gear. So just use the paddles to drop to first gear and pulls out fine.

    I just test drove the 184 PS!

    I've got a grey interior on my sport model. You need to order the alcantara upgraded seats to get grey. Looks great, black too gloomy.

    A3 Sportback 1.6TDI Sport Ordered, negotiated some options.

    One of my nearby Audi dealers (Camberley) matched the drivethedeal price when I went in with the print out. Took like 10 mins, over £2k saved. Maybe bit late if you've already ordered but if you go in with the print out and say you'll order then and there, expect most dealers will match broker.

    Just ordered........ quick question (help please)

    Went for Alcantara and leather side bolsters on mine. Best combination as cloth just looks cheap on such a nice/expensive car.

    Dealer couldn't get close to the price!

    Just ask the dealer to match the drivethedeal price or you will leave. Worked for me straight away, don't really have the time to visit/call multiple dealers.

    About to Order

    Ordered mine for Audi Camberley. Just showed them the Drive the deal price and told them to match it and i'd sign there & then. They agreed straight away. Thank god for Brokers, before then the dealer (of any decent make) would make you work for £500 off. Always could get thousands off...
