New AUDI A3 Review:

Audi faced a tough challenge when they set about designing the new A3: how to replicate the same stir in the market that the first A3 caused when it was launched in 1996. Its predecessor had been hailed as a something of a landmark in small car quality but since then cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Mark V and even the Ford Focus have been closing the gap. The result has flung Audi back into pole position with the new A3 sporting a longer, wider and lower stance than the first generation with typically evolutionary Audi styling – whilst reinforcing the same place at the top of the shopping list for the discerning young buyer. Combined with the 5 door “Sportback” model which supplements the range with an additional element of practicality, Audi’s current A3 line-up is formidable.

The A3’s engine range is predictable within the VW group range, but fairly mouth-watering nonetheless. The two most popular engines are the 200bhp 2.0-litre FSI turbo petrol engine that has found its way into the current Golf GTI and a superb 140bhp 2.0-litre TDI diesel which truly excels itself when complemented with the new Dynamic Shift Gearbox (DSG).

What’s more, AutoeBid’s discount level offers fantastic savings across the range whilst buying direct from Audi main dealers, which gives you the best of both worlds in terms of price and service. Factor in Audi’s superb build quality – not forgetting excellent residual values – and the A3 ticks all the boxes with its comprehensive engine line-up, broad choice of specification and the wonderful DSG gearbox option.
