Thanks... Looks the business that does !!!

thank you you for the informative post above, really gives a different dimension to think about? is the recommendation fuel for a 1.4 150 98ron rather than a min requirement ? If the latter that does change things plus in regards to the torque element /power delivery it could be a false rep. in...

I agree from the reseach I have been doing that the COD 1.4 ticks all the boxes, plus will be better on the shorter cold start up runs the car will do, (ie DPF) Thakns

But with that logic, BMW offer a 1 series coupe (now the 2 series) and also the 4 series in the form of a Hatch and coupe marketed against the A4 / A5 market, plus they have the Z4 too... It may hit the sales of the entry level TT, but at the same time take the sales off the BMW 2 series ?

] Thanks - the 1.2 is in the same tax band C as the 1.4 (125) (these are emmisson company car tax bands so maybe different to road fund.) Thanks

Cheers, as this is a second car for the wife...... but will also be used as the primary family car in time when doing short ish runs, (ie within 100 miles of home with little luggage) im thinking now I will benefit from the extra power too :) The A3 will be replacing the 1.8T MK4 GTI Golf (was...

Thanks guys, great to see some positive feedback for the 1.4, also the extra 40bhp will make a lot of difference too.. Just number crunching at the moment and booking a test drive on Monday :-)

Good thread,, :-) Im currently at the point of debating which engine for go for in a A3 Sline Sportback. Initial thoughts were a 1.6TDI, however due to the extra costs, it puts the monthly outgoings the same as a 1.4 TFSI (150), ok the tax band is a B v A but not a massive differance, the...

A3 Sport Back - 1.4TSI (150) v 1.6TDI (110) - Feedback from Owners pls. One final question from me....The cost to have a 1.4TFSI S line is the same as 1.6TDI S line excluding the MPG and fuel prices. Out of the 2 engines based on 10K miles per year, the paper figures based on current fuel...

Does anyone have a 1.2TSI Sportback ? Feedback ? Looking for a car for the Mrs, (Shes had a range of Golfs, Polos in the past) but taken a liking to the A3 Sport Back - Looking at the paper figures, a S-line 1.2TFSI seems to work well but not many reviews on real life MPG ? Does anyone have...

Good little review that... enjoyed.
