Today we’re back with the owner’s review of Furqan Qureshi’s 2017 Audi A3. Furqan is a renowned actor from Karachi and today he shares his experience with his newly bought ride.. This particular car is a 3rd generation Audi A3 which is powered by a 1.2 liter in-line 4 cylinder engine producing around 109 hp and 175 nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission along with a front-wheel drive system. Purchase Decision The owner was previously driving a 10th gen Civic and wanted to specifically upgrade to a German car. He shortlisted a few cars including a Mercedes SLK, a W204 C class and an Audi A3. He opted for the A3 as it was the best deal he could get in his price range. Moreover, it was also a relatively newer model than the Mercs which fell in this price bracket. Salient Features As per the owner, the main reason for buying this car was its driving pleasure and features. Some of these features include a dual-zone climate control, bruno leather interior, LED headlamps with cornering lights, cruise control, a pop-up  infotainment screen, front electric seats with lumbar support, rear AC vents, parking sensors, 17 inch alloy rims and much more. Fuel Average The 1.2 liter engine being small in displacement provides a very decent fuel average as it is paired with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. As per the owner, he gets around 12 to 13 km/l within city on normal driving. However, this average drops to under 10 if he drives the car with a heavy foot. Ground Clearance The ground clearance of German cars especially on Karachi roads is a bit tricky but the owner has had no problem with this A3. According to him, he doesn't travel often with multiple passengers hence the car has no problem in going over speed breakers and potholes. Moreover, he also added that he’s not very finicky about taking extra precaution on speed breakers and choosing certain routes. Maintenance According to the owner, periodic maintenance of this A3 is not as expensive as people assume it to be. Where a local car’s maintenance costs around 10,000 rupees on every 5,000 kilometers, this car’s maintenance costs around 20,000 rupees on every 10,000 kilometers bringing the cost per kilometer very close to CKD vehicles.

Today we’re back with the owner’s review of a 2017 Audi RS7. In this review, the owner shares his experience of driving this rare performance sedan in Pakistan and briefs us about its specs and features. This is the first generation RS7, a performance sedan based on the Audi A7. It has a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing around 560 hp and close to 700 nm of torque. This engine is configured with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering power to all four wheels through the Quattro. Drive As per the owner, he has driven many performance sedans like the E63, E55, and the BMW M5, but he enjoys the RS7’s driveway more than them, mainly because of its traction. The Quattro 4-wheel drive system in the Audi is exemplary, and the launch in this car is brutal. When accelerated, the car lifts up from the front, and the drive is unmatchable. Salient Features Along with top-notch performance, the RS7 is equipped with several luxurious features. These include electric seats with memory function, adaptive cruise control, heads-up display, blind spot monitor, parking sensors, and several driver assistance features. It also gets a sunroof, plush leather seats, several driving modes, etc. Fuel Average Although fuel consumption is somewhat irrelevant in a performance sedan like this, the average is not bad, according to the owner. He gets around 6 to 7 km/l within the city easily if driven normally, “the average drops significantly if I decide to enjoy its power,” he added. The owner also travels on the highway regularly, and the RS7 gives 11 to 12 km/l, which is very impressive. Missing Features The owner misses a few features he thinks he would have enjoyed. These include a launch control system which later models of the RS7 had. He still manually launches it with brake boost, but a proper system would have been good. He also misses a panoramic roof in this car instead of its standard sunroof. Maintenance And Spare Parts The owner maintains the car from his local mechanic, and he does not trust anyone else with this car. As for the spare parts, availability is a big problem as once his car got hit from the front, sourcing the bumper and grille took him two months. The prices of these parts are obviously high hence maintaining this car is currently a challenge. Watch Video
