congratulations its a beauty masha Allah...saw one yesterday at islamabad golra roundabout, car was going towards the audi centre but my heart sank when i saw the driver smoking in a brand new car ):

Masha Allah this ride is a beauty. Great choice bro. Much better then the overpriced c class and 3 series. Do share its fuel consumption as audi is claiming that it's about 17km/l.
how about road clearance and suspension are the soft or hard?

Yes the fuel consumption is even better than 1300 city with about 15km/l at slow speeds within city. Road clearance is excellent and suspension are soft.

Thanks everybody
Yes this car offers great value for money.

Is it a Quattro or without?

Is it a Quattro or without?

No its tfsi

[fazalwahab11375]

No its tfsi

TFSI is the engine type which is used by VW/AUDI in almost all their cars and stands for Turbo fuel stratified injection.

Quattro (means 4) is the all wheel drive technology of Audi. By non Quattro means it's a FWD car. A3 Quattro is available on 2L displacement and it's standard feature here in US. On 1.8 it's FWD only. That's the reason of a better mileage too Quattro system gives slightly less MPG.

For Mercedes it's 4matic. BMW has Xdrive.

Quattro drive system in below picture . You can see a shaft to rear wheels. Though its an AWD but Power is send to rear when required.

Nice car brother...Congrats..

Can you share a pic of the engine bay

Happy driving

Yes, they have workshops in Lahore, Islamabad & Karachi I guess. And as I learnt audi maintenance & service is cheaper than Pakistani Rolla & Civic. Parts would be lot expensive though I guess.

Umer the maintenance & servic cost is not cheaper compare to civic n corolla

Considering you don't have to get service every 10,000 km, I would say yearly service costs are somewhat same as civic and rolla. But still you are in better position to answer since you already own A4.

NO its not a quattro. Audi Pakistan is not offering quattro a3 in Pakistan.

actually its 8000km here due to Pak environment n quality of Pak fuel, 2ndly if ur car time period is over 8month u need to get oil service as it will show on ur MMI screen of oil changing time....my A4 was done 3000km but the oil changing service lights came on as it was over 8month of time period...took it to Audi center n was told to get service which was unnecessary as it hasn't done 8000 km but still they insist me to get the first service with inspection......I was told A3 maintenance & service is somewhat lil cheaper than A4 even though both carry the same engine
