Upgrading from an old A3

I just retired, I used to drive 300 miles a week. My now 14 year old Audi A3T never any problems until February when it had a new clutch kit fitted.

Recently the clutch seems loose and appeared to stick momentarily at top then release. I wonder if the time has come to replace my car or spend some money on a good car with a galvanised steel body and otherwise great performance. I should value your opinion as you always give good advice.

Time to move it on and look at something like an Audi A1 1.4TSI or a Citroen DS3 1.6 THP156.
