    Next model A3

    Former A3 owner with a residual interest in the A3. I understand the Audi ‘evolution rather than revolution’ styling ethos, but I would have liked to see something a little more different from the 8V body shape. I have watched the carwow review where Mat Watson points out all the styling...

    A3 Sportback(Sport) 1.0TSi Tronic - short review at 18 months

    Very interesting review. I had a 2014 1.4 tfsi sportback which I loved. When they introduced the 1.0 tfsi I thought it would be terribly underpowered, but apparently not. And the economy you’re getting is amazing. Quite agree about the suspension, but I’m wondering whether there has been a...

    Facelift FL A3 2.0 TFSI 190

    I have the 2 litre tfsi 190 in an A4 Avant and given how it performs, I can only imagine how it goes in an A3. Superb engine in my experience.

    On now on ITV1. The main character drives a black facelift A3 sportback. It has black roof rails but a chrome grill surrround, so it doesn’t appear to be a black edition. I’ll check again, but I think it has brightwork window surrounds. Is it possible to have roof rails in black when the car...

    Trouble with the strife.

    I wear the trousers in our house. And I have my wife’s permission to say that.

    Facelift A3 Sportback 1.5 TFSI S line on order.

    That’s going to be a lovely car. Reminds me of the misano red 1.4 COD sportback I bought new in 2014, which I loved. Only traded it in as I needed a bigger load lugger. Your wife will love it, I’m sure.

    Facelift A3 Sportback 1.5 TFSI S line on order.

    Wife has a 1.5 tfsi s-tronic cabrio. It feels no different from the 1.4 tfsi COD that I had, except it doesn't have the turbo lag. It is a remarkable little power unit in my view.

    Wife has a white cabrio and I doubt I could persuade her to add a splitter, but it would sharpen up the front end considerably.

    One of those black splitters currently on offer as a group buy would complete the BE look nicely. I agree that BE looks great with white.

    Facelift Rear lights always on

    I noticed the rear lights are constantly on with my wife's new cabrio. At first I thought she'd put the lights on, but I gradually concluded that they must be part of the DRLs. A good idea in my view.

    New Audi A3

    I was dead against automatic transmission until I went to the States last year where, of course, everything is automatic. Over the course of a couple of weeks, riding round in a number of cars, I came to realise the attraction of automatics and I decided to try it in the A4 I bought last...

    Front License Plate Delete

    On the subject of spacing of characters on plates, I saw one at my local supermarket car park a few weeeks ago on a Honda Accord. The number was something like Y210 MFG. The first three characters might have been something different, but it doesn't matter because it's that last four that...

    Extreme Parking

    Last week I was sitting in my car in a car park, minding my own business. I happened to have all my windows wound down and the driver of the car next door to me came back to his car and starting giving out to his wife about how I'd parked. Anyway....

    I really like this too. My dear departed A3 sportback was misano red, which in bright sunlight looked like this. I love how the light shows up the crease lines in this pic.

    Time to consider a family-mobile! Opinions please? And yes it is relevant to 8V owners...

    I'm no SUV fan, but I do think about them from time to time. Having owned people carriers when the family were growing up, I got to enjoy the high ride position and I like cars with good load carrying capacity (hence the current A4 Avant). So, given that I occasionally look at SUVs in a 'yeah...

    Oh - and a touring holiday in your part of the world is definitely on the cards. I've been retired 3 years but herself has just retired so we suddenly have the option to holiday whenever we want! I can imagine nothing better than touring the Highlands in a convertible (when it isn't raining...
