Well after test driving both the new common-rail 140 and 170 2.0 TDI engines in cars with an S-tronic gearbox I have now made up my mind and placed an order this afternoon before the 2% price increase that becomes effective on Monday 23 February.
The full spec is :
A3 Sportback 2.0TDI-140 in SE trim and with a 6-speed S-tronic gearbox. Ice Silver metallic paint with a Light Grey interior.
The SE trim package includes:
Front fog lights
4-spoke leather multi-function steering wheel with gear change paddles
Front centre armrest
Drivers Information System
The options I've ordered are:
17 x 7.5J 16-spoke alloy wheels with 225/45 R17 tyres
Concert radio
iPod connection in glovebox
Electric driver's seat controls and lumbar support
Rear acoustic parking system
Light and Rain sensor pack
Cruise control
Dual-zone electronic climate control
Interior light pack
Luggage pack
Storage pack
Non-smoking pack
Through load system
Adaptive Xenon headlights with LED driving lights.
The total cost of that little lot is £24,590
I am getting a 10% discount and £12,250 trade-in for my existing Sportback
All I have to do now is wait for it to be built and delivered, probably mid to late April.
