mightysaints Posted 9 March, 2010 Share Posted 9 March, 2010 My 5 year old Skoda VRS Octavia has to go as the lease has run out. It was a great car and pretty fast,never thought i would say that about a Skoda a few years ago. Anyway my company have offered me a year old 2ltr Audi S3 diesel as someone is leaving. Never had one of these before,are they any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin Strain Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 My 5 year old Skoda VRS Octavia has to go as the lease has run out.

Never had one of these before,are they any good. Don't confuse the S-Line with the S3....you'll be disappointed! I'm a bit of an Audi man, but my 3 have been 2 A6s and an A5. The A3 is ok, but a bit on the loud side. If I was looking for a car that size I'd have the new Golf before I had the A3. Is it a 140 or 170 engine?

Son of Bob Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 S Line just refers to the body kit, trim and alloys. An S3 is a very different beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRSAINT Posted 10 March, 2010 Share Posted 10 March, 2010 on my 2nd A3,1st one was a 2.0tdi sport,new one is a 1.8tfsi s-line sportback ,nice looking car but the suspension is a bit too stiff for our roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dune Posted 11 March, 2010 Share Posted 11 March, 2010 You'll be getting a car that's fast, fuel efficient and built like tank (so very solid and safe). I have no hesitation is recomending these cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightysaints Posted 12 March, 2010 Author Share Posted 12 March, 2010 Picked up the Passat today for a few weeks trial, nice car inside but god the car is gutless compared to my VRS. I have had diesels before but sure they were quicker than this. Hopefully the A3 will be quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Mad Si Posted 3 April, 2010 Share Posted 3 April, 2010 I have just ordered a new A3 2.0TDI Sportback sport for my company car and have since read that the suspension is a bit stiff, but it is brilliant on c02 so low tax and decent mpg. With 140bhp should have a little kick in it as well. Agreed by making sure about the s line or S3, if its S3 you will have a little rocket!
