Buying an Audi A3 - which engine?
I'm a private buyer and am thinking about buying a new Audi. I have been recommended a petrol Audi A3, as my annual mileage doesn't warrant paying extra for diesel. Question is which petrol engine? Is paying extra for the 1.4 TFSI 122 worth it over the 1.2 TFSI 110?

The 1.4TFSI should be 125PS by now. It's more powerful and has more torque at low revs so is more relaxed to drive.
