Jay Zaccarini got about another 8 weeks. As soon as I saw the s line In the garage I had to have it. Went to see the golf before and the A3 is in a different league mate

Thanks for that review. Test drove a 35tfsi but have just bought a 30 tfsi and have to say the one litre three cylinder almost felt more eager and peppy than the 1.5 four pot engine. I preferred the more comfortable Technik version with the smaller wheel rims, but have to say that the Sportline S that we eventually bought has far more features, looks good, and even on our country roads the 18” alloys are not too severe to drive on when in comfort mode. What do others think of the little three cylinder engine?

Congrats on your new A3! Just got the same engine and agree that it’s much better than I expected. Impressive pull when it gets going. Have to say it can a bit sluggish at low revs, but found this to be the same for the 1.5 when I test drove it. Easy to sort out with a cheeky downshift though.

Hi Jay, Brilliant in depth Video - not many on the 30TFSI out there. Just a bit concerned on the 1 litre engine for overtaking on single carriage ways, getting away form the lights etc. I am looking at getting the S Tronic version. Have you had experience with this? Is it better than the manual for overtaking and motorway driving? Do you miss not having front parking sensors or a rear parking camera - do you think that these would be a good option or not neccessary?

I haven’t tried the automatic version so unfortunately can’t comment , I assume it’s probally just as good if not better than the manual. I would recommend going for the comfort and sound pack if you can afford it , gives you the nice things such as heated seats , reverting camera , front and rear sensors and the awesome bang and olufsen sound system 👍 if I could have afforded it I would have added it to mine .

hey my friend! I am going to buy it but I am worried about the 1.0 engine with 115hp.do you feel that his speed on the road is satisfactory or that you have to go out and push it?hahaha i am joke. Τhe design of both inside and outside is the best in the category and has won me over

IwillBwaiting PCP’s aren’t investments. With a PCP you don’t pay the whole value of the car, you pay monthly for 3/4 years and then get the option to return the car for a new one, or pay the remaining value of the car in a lump sum to own it. A hire purchase (HP) is where you commit to paying the full amount for the car over a number of months and eventually owning it.
