Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI SE

Advantages: A 5-door premium "mini-estate"
Disadvantages: Cost. It's really just a Golf, buy you pay for the badge...

...) Four petrol engines are also available for the Sportback. There are entry-level "basic" and direct-injection (FSI) 1.6's, a 2.0 FSI, a turbocharged 2.0, and a quick 3.2 V6. There's one other turbodiesel - a 103bhp 1.9-litre. If you need 4x4 (does anyone apart fron farmers REALLY need 4x4 ?), there's the "quattro" option also. Top speed for my 2.0 TDI is a claimed 128 mph, and acceleration from 0-100 km/h is listed at 10 seconds. Probably more relevant than the "off from the lights" speed is the (claimed) 30-50mph time in third gear of 3.8sec, and 50-70mph in fifth gear time of 7.5sec. I can't challenge these numbers, but it certainly feels pretty quick (although clearly not as quick as my CLK) and the diesel engine has a lot of pull, especially in 2nd and 3rd gear, although first gear seems to zoom to high rev's quickly. Even in 5th ...

Review of Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI

Audi A3 2.0 FSI Review

Advantages: Great comfort, economical, great value for money, excellent road runner
Disadvantages: Not as punchy as a Golf GTI 2.0

I brought an Audi A3 2.0 FSI a few years back and had it for about just over a year. I brought it as an ex demo with only about 3,000 miles on the clock. I had to sell it last year as was buying my sisters Golf GTI. In that time that I had the Audi A3, it was truely an amazing car. It was very economical, I didnt have a computer inside to tell me how many miles to the gallon I was doing but it was pretty good, a much better road runner to the more guzzling Golf GTI. I had a dark navy blue exterior with a pale cloth interior. I brought rubber matts along with the carpet ones the car came with for durability, it was deffinately well worth it. I had a CD/Radio player in the car which was new to me because all the cars I had before that was more old fashioned, but it was well worth it. The only thing I would point out that now having ...

Review of Audi A3 2.0 FSI

Audi A3 2.0 TDI

Advantages: Power, economy, handling
Disadvantages: sometimes need 4 doors, sluggish acceleration

I've been driving a white A3 2.0 TDI for three years now, and still enjoy great performance, comfort and handling. ~EXTERIOR~ I?m still confident that the A3 is a goodlooking car, even though the front grille has been updated since I bought the car. I have white paintwork - and the Diesel fumes tend to build up around the bumper area, which needs regular cleaning. ~INTERIOR~ When I first bought the car I loved the interior. The design a smart, modern and comfortable ? with great design features, bold lines, and from durable, high quality materials. The car does feature the basic luxuries, like a good climate control system, and power windows, but all the facny high tech gadgets and lights packages are only offered as (expensive) options when buying the car. The seats are designed for sporty driving, and although they are ...
