    Advantages Advantages Reliable, Lively, Stylish

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit pricey

    After five years of very happy, trouble-free motoring, I recently sold my A3 1.8 Sport. Didn’t want to. Had to. If it weren’t for the financial needs of my somewhat cash-strapped life, I'd still have it ten years from now. My A3 was simply the best car I've ever owned. Although allegedly a VW Golf in an Audi box, It handled & behave like neither of my previous Golfs. I felt like a much larger, more comfortable & higher-performing car altogether. It was also a lot more reliable. In all the time I owned it, I only had one mechanical failure - the water pump broke (which cost me £80 to replace) ... more

    If you want one of the best hot exec hatches then look no further than the Audi A3 1.8T. This car has awesome performance and build quality you would expect from a German manufacturer. The engine is shared right across the VW brand and can also be found in the Audi TT. It has effortless punch and an occoasional speed check is needed on motorways as the quietness of the engine at speed belies its tre potential. The car is spacious for a three door and the interior appointments are excwllent with the usual array of gadgets. The six speaker Bose sound system would keep most boy racers although ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cool car to be seen in

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need loads of cash to be seen in one

    What a car!! What a motor!!!!! You can say what you like about germans but they can make a nice car, This motor has everything, It is sleek sporty powefull as......,The way this car is put together amazed me from the moment i sat in the car and started it up, She just quietly turned over then just purred like a little pussy cat trapped in a lions body. The one that ive driven is a 2001 model that has done 60000 miles but when driving it you would think you had just pulled it off the forcourt at the garage. So smooth lots of gadjets like heated seats and on board computor to let you no how long ... more

    The Audi A3 1.8T is one of the finest cars, I have ever had the pleasure of driving. This car comes with an original motor strength of 150 horsepower although the model which drove was tuned up to around 170 horsepower by the owner. It is a very stylish car, with a very modern dashboard, air conditioning, electric windows etc. This model also comes with a leather interior, making the car look very grand and up market, which it is. The primary problem is twofold. Firstly, this car is very powerful for it's weight and is at the beginning difficult to adjust to, and secondly it is thirsty, but ... more

    Advantages Advantages Everything really! esp the safety, the feel of the car and the handeling

    Disadvantages Disadvantages cost of running but its certainly worth it

    i have had this car for 6months now, after it being my mums car. im in love with it! i cant see myself changing it for a long time, and if i did, only to another a3. it is expensive to run especially with the petrol prices going up, and me being a student but i've never felt so safe in a car before. the handeling, the fun of driving the car just makes me want to drive in it forever! its totally reliable, ive never had a problem and neither has my mum. i can easily get 5people in the car, even people who are 6ft3 who didnt feel bad. it has plenty of room for eveything and i have never driven a ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages the car is a real head turner and really comfortable to drive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages its quite expensive in its range and not enough legroom

    THE AUDI A3 IS A TRENDY AND A SPORTY HATCHBACK WHICH IS AREAL HEADTURNER. THE AUDI IS COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE.IT HAS A STRONG BODY ANH THE EXTERIOR I SREALLY COOL. BUt THE INTERIOR IS ABIT CRAMPY WITH LESS LEGROOM AND THE INTERIOR IS A STANDARD. THE PETROL CONSUMPTION IS AVERAGE. THE AUDI A3 WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY HAS THE REGULAR AIRBAGS , ABS ETC WHICH IS GOOD ENOUGH AND RELIED UPON. THE SPARES FOR THE A3 ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE BUT THEY ARE ONE CAR THAT YOU CAN RELY UPON AND YOU DONT NEED TO VISIT YOUR GARAGE EVERYTIME. THE HANDLING OF THE CAR IS EXCELLENT AND ITS VERY EASY TO MANOVERE THE CAR ... more

    Advantages Advantages engine, seating position, fuel consumption and stability.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages maintenance costs, scratchy panel and lack of dual clutch transmition

    I own a 2003 Audi A3 1.8T, 180hp, 2 door black wonder! The car is magnificent and has a extraordinary handling. The fuel consumption is superb, doing about 14 km/l (7,14l/100km) in highway mode, and 11 km/l (9,09l/100km) in the city area. The 1.8 turbo engine, developing very good 180 horse power, has a supreme power to weight ratio, given the impression of being in a much more powerful car. The suspension is very well calibrated, but I think it could be a little more gentle. The ground clearence is good, but you have to exert some caution in speed bumps. The interior finishing is good, but ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fast, elegant, superb to drive, top quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages boring interior, very hard seats

    I have owned over a dozen cars, and by far the best has been my Audi A3, I can say with authority that it is a far better car than 9/10 other brands of car. It's as simple as that. Every component seem to be of the highest quality, you can tell it's an Audi mainly by its superb braking and its perfect handling. Consumption is high-ish, although that is to be expected from a car that is quite heavy, and it's very good when compared to cars of similar class to it. The low pints, for me at least, would be its normally drab and unimaginative interiors, you might as well be in a Ford, and also how ... more

    Advantages Advantages Sexy looking & reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bottle holder too small for most sports bottles!

    I have been extremely fortunate in being able to change my cars quite frequently in my 15 years of driving. Having driven large saloon cars for the past 4 years I felt it was time for a change back to a smaller more nippy car. Having previously owned and loved an Audi A4 I decided to look at the A3 as an alternative. What a find! Most cars of this size are fairly non descript and mumsy looking and although I am a mum I didn't want to be driving the typical 'school run & shopping' car! This is an excellent alternative which I instantly fell in love with. It has a great choice of ... more

    Advantages Advantages Versatile,economical, good quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages high price

    I always liked Audi,so I was delighted that they were bringing out a small hatchback. I have seen the interior and I must say it is higher than the standard I am used to with my old Audis. It is now more versatile, because there is a five door version available. My friend drives a BMW 3-Series compact. which is roughly the same price, but I must say, compared to the Audi it is very basic inside, but faster. But my vote still goes to the Audi A3 and Jeremy Clarkson likes it too. ... more
