    Audi A3 1.4 TFSI COD Petrol Manual - pulling off and gear changes lol

    I had a test drive in this car, however I was a bit unsure how easy it is to change gears and pull off etc. I’m used to driving a 2003 VW Polo 1.2 where I have to use a bit of revs along with the biting point to pull off. Is it the same with this Audi, given it’s engine size and that it’s petrol?
