We love our A3. The build quality is stunning, and not a creak/squeak to be heard.....even in a 7 year old car. Still looks brand new inside.
We went for the petrol engine in the end. We are trying to do our bit for the environment so nearly went for the TDI version. Thankfully this 150bhp engine will return 42mpg easily. We even see high 40;s on long runs to the seaside. Also the less servicing and oil changes of a petrol engine appealed to us.
I originally wanted a 5dr version, but wasn't keen on the look of the 5dr as its much longer and fatter at the back. So plumped for a 3dr. Thankfully its easy to get in and out of the back.
When we go to change the car we will buying another Audi as this one is well made. Having said that, it maybe some years till we feel the need to change.
