What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2005 Audi A3 appreciate its performance, stylish design, and solid build quality. The 3.2L V6 engine and DSG gearbox receive high praise for their combination, delivering a thrilling driving experience. However, some drivers note concerns about fuel economy and the harshness of the suspension on rough roads."
- performance - takes a second or two to go but when it takes off it flies. Brakes are awesome, handling is fantastic. - All the finishes are done so precisely. - Inerior is stunning but the exterior is absolutely stunning - if you don't race it the mileage is decen, about 12 k's to the litre
March 31, 2010Great ride, great performance. It is a 2.0, 150hp with enough punch you'll believe you are in a sports car. The only downside is the build quality but after 5 years it is expected to have some failing components. It is practical and it is a good looking car.
March 15, 2011The 3.2L V6 is a fantastic engine which sits perfectly with the DSG gearbox. The only issue is that this does cost a lot on fuel with a yearly average of approx 22 MPG. The build quality has been fantastic and after 3 years it is still as solid as day one with no rattles or bits falling off (touch wood!) I would think twice about buying another Audi without Quattro as this is fantastic on 'A' roads in horrible weather. The only thing that I think needs improving is the suspension as this is very harsh on some journeys however not as bad as my Mini Cooper S used to be as it had run flat tyres.
