Buying a new A3 Sportback - which engine?
I plan to downsize from my Saab 9.3 1.8t. The new car must be petrol with a reasonable boot and have low VED. I'd also like a car with a bit of performance.
The Audi A3 Sportback 1.4TFSI six-speed manual seems to tick all the right boxes. What do you think?

Yes, that new EA211 belt cam 1.4TFSI ACT 140 is a very nice engine. Flexible at low revs and also quite lively.

More practical version of the A3 has more passenger space and a larger boot. Wide choice of engines including impressive 1.4 TFSI. Well-equipped as standard.
