Audi A3 1.9 TDI

...a courtesy car. The Audi A3 is a premium small family car and priced at the top of this particular segment. The car I used was the limited special edition version available on the road at a discounted price of just over £16,000. My initial reaction to being given the cheapest Audi in the range was one of disappointment as my own car is a well specified A4 with quattro and I also prefer the response of petrol engines. I was very pleasantly surprised ...
...more expensive models in the Audi range. Where the savings have been made are in the basic specification: Manual air-con, standard cloth seats, no front fog lights and single CD player etc. There is a good amount of room in the front seats, while the rear seats will carry 2 or 3 people over short journeys with an acceptable amount of room for this type of car. The 1.9TDI engine in this particular model is rated at just over 100bhp. I expected to ...

Review of Audi A3 1.9 TDI

I bought the Audi A3 1.9 TDI Sport approximately 9 months ago, and have not been at all disappointed by my purchase. The basic model is available for £18,645 OTR, but of course with the number of add-ons that you'll probably want, the likelihood is that this figure may well exceed £20,000. The 5-speed 1.9 diesel engine gives 105 bhp, which may not seem like a huge amount, but it gives good acceleration, even in 5th gear at 70mph. 0-60 in 11.4 seconds, ...
...very good fuel economy, with Audi claiming a combined consumption of 55.4mpg (42.8mpg urban, 67.3mpg rural). With a fuel tank of 55 litres, you won't have to fill up too often. The range of extras available is huge, but also a little on the expensive side, but this is to be expected from a manufacturer like Audi. Metallic and pearl options for paint cost from £490. 17" alloy wheels come as standard. Leather upholstery will set you back £980, sports ...

Review of Audi A3 1.9 TDI

Recently I bought a new a3, i chose it to replace the a3 I had at the time which had proved economical, reliable and reasonably nippy, it was a 1.6. The real determining factor for me though was the fact that the 1.6 was written off when a 52 seater bus didn't bother breaking and smahed the rear end in. Standing back and looking at the damage I was impressed that the tailgate had still about a foot or so to go before reaching the back seats. Granted ...
...hour, but I was stationary. So replaced the 1.6 with a 1.9tdi , 6gear. Having 130 bhp certainly makes a difference and this thing is quick when you want it but very economical if you're just cruising. I get around 600 miles on a tank. The seating position is pretty adjustable, my car has the usual forward/back/tilt and backrest tilt as well as an electronically adjustable lumbar support. The factory stereo , is very good, I have the 200 watt bose ...

...for demos with low mileage, mine had 1800 on the clock. Also Audi dealers are willing to part with demos before the 13 week period the should keep them. They simply hold the registration till the 13 weeks are up. Find the demo you want and be brave! Good buying! ...

Review of Audi A3 1.9 TDI

I love this car. . well worth the money. . it drives so smooth and grips the road excellently, especially with the recent heavy snowfall. I get looks when the car has just been washed I love it The only drawbacks are things such as an temparature gauge and TRIP computer are all extras whereas my old car a 2001 Clio had all of that as standard. It has nice features such as when the key is taken out of the ignition to leave the car the internal ...
...belongings before you leave the car and the light only switches off when you lock the car perfect at night!!! Also the central locking is very powerful and is great at night or day in a busyy car park to find you car!! Inside is very stylish and there is plenty of room in the car front and rear. I also only fill my tank up once a month for around £40 whereas my clio would be twice a month at £30 per time! Very economical and sooooo quite once ...

My mum recently got an Audi A3 1.9 TDi 110. This car is the best car i have ever driven, the handling is incredible, it just sticks to the road. the acceleration for a diesel car is very good and you can certainly get some speed up in this car... 80mph in 4th at ease, 60mph in third at ease. if pushed god knows. but this car is very recommendable and more to the point, reliable. a must buy.. especially the 1.9 TDi. the wheels are 17" babys and ...

I have just bought an Audi A3 1.9 TDI 5 door sportback and i have to say it is one of the best cars i have ever driven. The sound system is incredible and it is economical on fuel, as i am a community nurse i find it very nippy around town and incredibly comfortable to drive. The car is roomy in both the front and the rear and the boot is very spacious. The steering is very smooth and light and makes the whole driving experience a pleasure. It is ...
