    Which car to choose?

    I can certainly vouch for that. I too felt a bit let down when I first drove the car with 100 miles on the clock just before Christmas. Its now done just over 10,000 and feels like a different car! Much much better. Plenty of torque and I do a lot of motor way miles and it doesn't feel...

    BLACK HEADLINING OPTION !!!

    My S-Line has the black headlining and Privacy Glass and I can confirm that its not too dark. As others have said, I feel it makes the interior classier still (if thats possible?!)

    CONDOR GREY - PICS PLEASE !!!

    It has. They're just pretty hard to see as it was a fairly dull day when I took the pics. That's an S-Line badge on the front wing that I'm presuming you thought was the indicator? :)

    CONDOR GREY - PICS PLEASE !!!

    I LOVE my Condor Grey. I had a BMW MINI Cooper S back in 2004 and I wanted the nearest thing to what BMW called Dark Silver in the MINI. I'm sure it's self cleaning too!! Great for keeping clean. Have a look from Post 24 on my thread below where I put some pics!! Hope it helps...

    New 1.6Tdi Mpg

    Thought I'd jump on a give my 2pence worth. Mine (59 plate Sportback) is coming up to 6500 miles since 23rd Dec 09. MPG ranges vary. Lowest I've had is 44/45 and highest around the 55mpg mark as an average over a day. I have got high 50s but it drops back down as soon as you get a bit right foot...

    New Black Edition

    Someone once told me... " Its not how many exhausts you have thats important, but what you do with them that counts" :laugh: You have one lovely car there fella! :salute:

    New Black Edition

    Nope. Its just the Sportback S-Line. I have to admit, I did think the single exhaust was linked to the new low emission engine. Mine does have stop / start on it too.

    New Black Edition

    Confusing to say the least? I have a 2010 (59 plate) S-Line and it has a single exhaust. Its a fairly large single exhaust dressed in Chrome but single all the same. Its the new low emission 1.6TDI and not sure if that makes a difference. :confused:

    1.6tdi v 2.0tdi.

    Hiya. Got my 1.6TDI just before Christmas. It certainly felt alot slower brand new than it does now. Its done just over 6000 miles so far and the engine has loosened up lovely. Sure its not a rocket, but I've just come from a 2.2CDTi Civic and a Cooper S before that, so the power is down to what...

    Taking the plunge!

    So far so good Scott. Unbelievably quiet. Unless the Civic was just very noisy. Not really given it too much at the mo (icy roads and a brand new engine), but from what I have picked up so far, it's got more than I thought. Picks up well and even 5th seems to pull well. I never did actually...

    Taking the plunge!

    Well, Santa finally visited today (despite the terrible weather) and delivered my new A3. :thumbsup: Not had much of a chance to drive it too far yet, but so far so good. Just hope the weather pics up so I can take it for a decent blast. Well worth the wait though. Even if it was 4 and half...

    Taking the plunge!

    Just thought I would give an update as its been a while since I've posted on here. The last few months have dragged a bit, but I have heard today that my new A3 is at last on route to the dealers!! :thumbsup: I'm still being told that its unlikely I will get it this side of Christmas by the...

    Taking the plunge!

    Hi and thanks! I'll PM you on the Civic. Not 100% sure on the rules on selling stuff on here...yet

    Taking the plunge!

    Cheers for that. I wasn't aware how they worked in reality as I've not seen them on an A3 yet. Sounds like they work in the same way as the ones on my current Civic though, in that I have to press a button. That's fine by me. They have been useful for me, esp around the narrow lanes near me...

    Taking the plunge!

    My feeling also. Had a pretty good choice of car when it came to make a decision but the A3 did seem to stand out against the rest of 'the pack'

    Taking the plunge!

    No not far at all. I reckon that sounds like a plan. Might just do that. Thanks for the info. :icon_thumright:
