Summary

Buying experience

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£22,000
When did you buy the car?
September 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
Got roughly a £2,200 discount by buying through 'Drive The Deal'. This was amazing, considering the model had only been out for a matter of months when I purchased it.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Upgraded from a 2005 Audi A3 Sportback.
What was the dealer like?
The supplying Audi dealer was excellent, although it was their fleet arm that supplied to me (that's clearly how the hefty discount was realised!).

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Absolute quality!! The 1.4 TFSi Cylinder on Demand (CoD) or Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) engine (call it what you want!) is incredibly lively/responsive, & yet returns diesel like fuel economy. It's almost silent at certain road speeds...
What's it like to park?
No problems with the options parking sensors.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing to date.
What's most practical about your car?
The A3 sportback is a great day-to-day run-around, as well as a long-distance cruiser.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The optional LED interior light pack gives the inside a real premium quality feel at night. The SD card sat nav is also a great option.
