Hi guys, I dont post here often but lurk in the background quite a lot, I Picked my new car up on the 1st March and dont normally post pics etc.. only on the appropriate owners forums... but After all of the OCUK detectives threads heres my new car

So what you think, Its a Audi A3 sportback 2.0TDI (140) with xenons, arm rest, interior light pack, sensor pack and flat tyre warning

It replaces a MkV Golf which my mum crashed :mad:

Is the new A3 only available in 5 door?

thepharcyde · 3 Apr 2007 at 21:41

May I ask how much it set you back?

I'd understand if you dont want to.

Too much!! I got £2000 off list price... the dealer matched drivethedeal.co.uk

Think it must be my lack of post count!

Thanks,

I considered:

Golf GTI - Too expensive to insure.. as a result of my mum loosing MY no claims!
Octavia vRS TDI/TFSI - To expensive to insure and seemed too big
Golf GT TDI - could only insure PD140 and wasnt worth the extra over the cost of insuring Audi -

The gti and A3 are totally different beasts, if your anywhere near Newcastle I can give u the name of my sales man at audi and you should get a good deal

How come you did not go for the 170 version? Quieter and faster! For about £500 more.

Could I ask what them wheels are? They don't look like the 5 spoke wheels Audi give!

This is not me ranting at you btw

They are nice and very reliable with plenty of great features that are useful, specially in different weather conditions. See how high you can get your MPG on the motor way and if you can beat 650 ^^

Bread please..

Adz · 4 Apr 2007 at 07:53

Looks really nice

.

Same wheels as my A6 I think...

Not bad, just looks a bit tame and blends into the background, so not my cup of tea.

Nice car spoiled by a wheezy and underpowered engine better suited to a non premium car
