Is there any major failures/problems with the 1.6 MPI engine? I'm aware that it's slower compared to other choices, but with a first car I'm not after speed.
 
1.6 FSI are good engines! My first one was a A3 8P 05 1.6FSI, loved it.
The only thing I could think of was my chain wen't ratteling sometimes, after some oil change and service on the belt it was gone.

Drove a good 250.xxxKM with it :).
 
its worth buying its very reliable i like the sportback 1.6 diesel audi a3 8p best its a good car the sportback 1.6 se tdi i have a 2010 garnet ruby red best colour car on my drive in the picture and its reliable and 70 mpg its only 20 to tax...

if only doing short journeys every week i advise to get super diesel from esso or v power diesel from shell like i do to help prevent dpf from failing.
