redmanphil's review of Audi A3 2.0 FSi

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.

G Morison 's Response to redmanphil's Review

Written on: 18/10/2010

I found this review very helpful because...I echo the sentiments contained therein. I've only had my A3 2L FSI since March this year 2010 and it's my first Audi , it certainly wo'nt be (hopefully) my last. The built quality is superb, seating excellent and the smell of quality leather enjoyable. I've not been lucky enough yet to achieve 42 or thereabouts MPG, however it's being mainly used in urban travel, with an occasional longish run , when she will , sometimes , creep up to around 40MPG. I'm going to try using 99octane fuel, which a local Tesco are now stocking ( she's petrol ) so things will hopefully improve . I've also been adding some Redex upper cylinder lubricant to give her injectors a clean up, hoping that'll do some good as well . All in all very happy with the car overall.
