    Brave colour choice - S3

    Don't think I could have done it: http://usedcars.audi.co.uk/zoom.aspx?Id=601067924

    A3 holds its value better than any other car in UK

    ] It says they only looked at the top 10 selling cars of 2009 - surprised the A3 made it on to that list although seeing more and more of them about now.

    Changes to the A3 range

    Plenty pics of the changes here: http://www.audi.de/de/brand/de/neuwagen/a3/a3_sportback/multimedial_erleben.html Click on the enlarge picture icon in the top right corner of the photo to click through. Then it's spot the difference....there's a couple of other tweaks there.

    Changes to the A3 range

    It's Lee_R who sourced the photos - didn't pick up on the S-Tronic shifter, they've made it look exactly like a manual. Not exactly essential changes - the original design has aged really well.

    Changes to the A3 range

    Bit of extra chrome above and below switching for hazards/ESP etc. And possibly slimmed down 'grab handles' on the centre console?

    LAVA GREY - YOUR OPINIONS !!!

    Nice colour but how come Holland is the only country with a yellow front number plate :think: - spoils the looks of the car IMO!

    2.0TDI 140 - MPG !

    With S-Tronic (no stop-start, I think that is quite new so may not be many about with that feature) getting high 40s or low 50s on longer runs - quite happy with that.

    When's the new model A3 due out ???

    Late 2011 I'd guess.

    mysterious switch

    :laugh: On a side note, you would struggle for anyone to notice the alarm going off, it's that quiet (for a car alarm!)

    S3 manual to S tronic anybody??

    The OEM version does shift up/down quite early, well before the red line anyway.

    Quiet tyres for A3 TDI (Vredestein Ultrac Cento?)

    Only advantage with Michelin is that they do last 20000 miles plus. My A3 came with Dunlops - don't know why new A3s come with different makes? After 14000 there's still a decent bit of tread left but will look out for the quieter ones for sure.

    New 1.6Tdi Mpg

    Up to 14000 miles now and I can't say mpg has changed much since day one - mix of driving 49-50mpg, that's with S-Tronic. From what I've seen I am not sure cruise control helps the figure - when I use cruise the DIS mpg figure starts to drop.

    Is there a new A3 out this year??

    Recently new model VAG launches have come with the full range - I know what you mean though, in the past it would take a while for all versions to filter through.

    What exactly does high beam assist do?

    RECOMMENDED OPTIONS .

    Options got: Cruise control - great if doing a lot of motorway miles BOSE - impressed but haven't ever had a chance to hear non-BOSE Aluminium rails - essential, sets off Sportback really well USB - good but basic, not worth the mark-up Parking sensors (rear) - does what it says on the tin...

    PRICE TO BUY NEW - COMPARISONS !

    Hi shilts - careful with the typing there ;-) - it is a brand new car, you will be the first registered owner. If you phone them and tell them what you are looking for, they go away and must check for the cheapest dealer. They then come back with a range of dealers and best prices, for me it...

    Dilemma

    From last year the Jetta had the same Common Rail diesel engine but until then it wasn't so you would find the A3 engine more refined and more balanced on power delivery. Personally I cannot fault the 2.0 TDI, it's a good balance between economy and performance. The 1.8 TFSI is relatively...
