Overall this is a wonderful car. It is fun to drive and very comfortable.
It is so powerful and its quite unbelievable that its engine is just 1.4 liter.
It is cheap to tax and maintain ( as the first 2 services will be free ) with no MOT to worry about ( it is less than 3 years old).
It does not drink fuel like my previous car so I will save on that as well.
All of this for just 250 GBP per month extra - which is nothing compared to the driving experience.
However, I would advise all Audi buyers to consider this in their cars spec list which my car does not have:
!. Rear arm rest
2. Folding door mirrors
3. Adaptive cruise control
The extra options which my car has and I have found particularly useful:
1. S line trim : it makes the A3 a different car altogether
2. Navigation
3. Day time running lights
In UK, you have plenty of approved used cars to choose from. I am glad I chose this and not a boring golf (unless it was GTI spec)
I hope this helps everyone planning to buy a car in UK.
