Welcome to drive the debate

Just taken delivery of my third A3 and as happy with this as my other two. Comfort, spec, equipment and style in a neat and fashionable package. The engine, performance and economy is brilliant. I did 60k miles in each, the last one still had original rear tyres with around 3mm tread left, so other comments about tyre wear could be down to users.

The second two A3's both 2.0 TDI which are great, the first was 1.6 Petrol and the gear box was very suspect.

Audi Dealerships really do look after you. OK service is quite expensive but nothing is too much for them. In three years time, I will be ordering my 4th A3 unless something really different comes to the market. The residuals are good so your money is safe.
