    great car overall,i love the style-the size is just right (3-door)if its just the two of you,i have the dsg gearbox in mine(still not bored with it,really smooth(dont actually feel the gear change,lovely)had car for year and half now.Oh yes...and it does NOT rattle at all(and i hate rattles big time)
    My drivers seat isnt right,the easy entry function doesnt reset back to the set position-it seems to float around until i manually reset it by releasing the handle-has anyone else have this problem?? and the seat belt hooks onto the adjuster wheel,yeah you know what i mean!! Dsg gearbox oil change will cost you around £160.00 from Audi.Which has to be set-up/programmed through computer - which most folks dont have at home.
    A good car to save for (get a good one with plenty of spec and basically just keep it) mines an Audi A3 2.0 ltr TDI with dsg-and a re-map done for good measure-helps the ecomony and better/safer for overtaking etc. If you want,go for a s-line, prob my next when it comes,they seem to be finished off nicely. A classy car way better than a Golf (which i also like/and had)
    Great car -now go and treat yourself and get one!

    The Audi A3 2.0 TDI DSG 2.0 TDI is a great car to drive and own. Great build quality with no rattles or squeaks after 20,000 miles. Feels safe & secure. Be prepared for high (ish) service bills and questionable reliability. Would be loathe to own if not under warranty. Expensive to service. A few niggles with engine diagnostic lights. Steering rack replaced due to faulty original part.

    Love it. Comfortable interior (leather/alcantra in mine), plenty of driver's position adjustments. Engine pulls all the way through the range.
    Good fuel economy, and the DSG is great for both London commuting and when you want to feel a little more involved with the paddles.

    I have had my Audi A3 2.0TDi Sport for 12 months, it's a well made and classy car, quick and easy to drive with the DSG gear box. However I also owned a Golf GT TDI which cost less to buy, was equally well built and although it didn't have such an up market interior it was still a premium car. I also think it handled better and had a better ride set up than the A3 which fidgets too much, I have come to the conclusion the extra £4k I paid for the A3 was mainly for the badge. Worse still is ...

    Great car all round - if only it would work.

    Lots of fun to drive, yet economical / practical.

    Sexy looking.

    But it's been back to the dealership 9 times in 11 months for engine management system faults. Some are blamed on Audi-wide problems (total engine overhaul at 20,000 miles) some are blamed on this car specifically.

    Overall dealership a joke (Swindon Audi) and wholly unable to resolve issues.

    I'd never buy a car from there again.

    But I'd consider this model again from s ...

    Changed cars from a Subaru Impreza turbo to the Audi A3 2.0 TDI with the DSG gearbox option. To be honest this could be viewed as a step down by some, however I'm using the car for 25000 business miles per year and about 3000 private miles. Although the scooby was fun, it was a bit expensive to run as a business car. I once got it down to 8 mpg on the way back from meeting a client in the lake district!!! Hence the reason for the Audi with the DSG gearbox, If I was going to have a diesel I was g ...
