Very good car
Overall I have been delighted with my A3. I do lots of town driving for my job and spend a lot of time in traffic. Overall I get 44mpg which is very good in my opinion. The car is really well put together and very practical. The DSG gearbox is excellent and I have noticed none of the problems at junctions or reversing which some find. The car has had two problems in its life so far with the turbo needing replacing at 80K (£1300) and the AC compressor (£650) at 95K.
