Audi A3 Sportback 2013


Audi A3 Sportback

I received the COE for this car today. An un-defensible purchase in terms of value for money.

When a Honda Civic costs SGD$137,500 and a premium brand cost slightly more, it is not difficult to make a choice.

This car has a few gadgets: Adaptive Cruise Control, Daylight Running Illumination, Auto Headlights, Auto Rain Sensor, Auto Engine Stop in red light (can be turned off), Vehicle Stability Control. Audi MMI. Bluetooth connection, Voice Activated Command, Paddle Shift.

Other impressive points: 1.4 litre with TFSI means a lower road tax, an expected fuel consumption of 14km/litre (yet to be verified). 15,000km service interval. A nice design. Full leather seat.

Likely Weakness: Same platform as the VW Golf means the notorious DSG 7 speed transmission may be shared. No GPS navigation. No spotlight at this price.
