My Own Audi A3 Evaluation - The Good, The Bad, The Certainly Not So Ugly

April 30, 2010 - PRLog -- My Own Audi A3 Evaluation - The Good, The Bad, The Certainly Not So Ugly

This Audi A3 is really a magnificent premium hatch that warrants the plaudits. No, it’s not the most exhilarating part of the universe, but it performs on almost every level. A bit on the pricey side compared to equivalent VW offerings though.

Comfort

Nice insulation makes the Audi A3  an excellent motorway cruiser, but there is very little space inside the back intended for people. Also steer clear of the optional S-Line suspension as well as large wheels should you value ones spine - they re-define the definition of ‘hard’.

Performance

4 petrols and also 3 diesels, including the brand new 1.4-litre TFSI turbo-and-supercharged model. Best compromises are the Golf GTI-engined (197bhp) 2.-litre TFSI that strikes -62mph in a mere over 7 seconds or the higher-powered diesel versions like the 2.-litre TDI with 168bhp. The 1.9-litre TDI is affordable yet sluggish.

Cool

Too dreary to be awesome.

Quality

Excellent - Audi knows how to make cars feel nicely put together. Prod or push this cabin - you will not be dissatisfied. Prod it all over again after 100,000 miles - it's the same.

Practicality

If you would like a big trunk then remember the ‘Sportback’ version - kind of a hatch-and-a-half in size, or a mini estate car. A gimmicky niche? Maybe, nevertheless it sort of works. Normally this can be a practical hatch having a 350-litre trunk - seats fold to get 1,000 litres of space, stowage is good.

Running Costs

If you are penny pinching yet would like the Audi logo then you need the 1.9-litre diesel and more than 60mpg (allegedly) plus 119g/km to get cheap business vehicle tax. Residual values are fairly darn good. It's actually that Audi logo.
