    New A3 Sportback Sport 1.0TSI STronic - First Impressions

    I thought I'd pass on my early impressions on this probably not that common combination. There were three main reasons why I went for the smallest engine: The first was cost then the low tax band and the third was hopefully the best economy for my type of driving.
