Buying a used Audi Q3 - which engine is best?
I am looking to buy a used (2014 model) Audi Q3, with a petrol engine and auto gearbox. Are the DSG gearboxes reliable? Which engine is best in the Q3?

SEAT is now fitting an improved wet clutch seven-speed transverse DSG to the Q3 petrol models (it's badged Audi, but made by SEAT), so should be better. Both the 1.4 and 2.0TSIs are turbos. Best bet probably the 1.4 TSI 150 ACT.
