Nice Car, are you buying New or 2nd hand?
The 5 door 2.0tdi version would attract me as it seems to have a larger, almost estate look to it, very practical, and yet handy for city parking.
and high 40s MPG.
Takes a bit of time to get around the "goatee" style grille on the front of all new Audi’s, but its "growing" on me
Suspension on the sportline can be a bit hard for bumpy Irish secondary
roads but not the end of the world.
Would also consider a Golf/leon/focus for better valve for money,
maybe even a 3 series compact or a-class
But the A3 is miles ahead of its main competitor in this class IMHO, the BMW 1 series.
