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.

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 the appalling service I receive from Audi, the lack of after sales care and service even responding to a complaint is terrible, given the fantastic reviews Skoda owners give I'll be looking at a Octavia VRs soon.
