With our wedding just round the corner and casting our minds into the future and thinking about kids, the Mrs and i have decided we need an daily family car.
Naturally, i insisted im keeping the ED30 and it was agreed we were trading in her 2 Door POS 1.4 Corsa.
My Mrs isnt the best of drivers and doesnt feel confident in driving a large car - Passat/A4 /Mondeo sort of size.
We do less than 20 miles a day to/from work so cant really justify the cost of a diesel.
I want to stay in the VAG family but dont want another Golf - nothing wrong with the ED30 but faniced something a bit different.
We have a budget of perhaps £12k (inc her Corsa as trade in) so was looking at:
2009/ 2010 Audi A3 Sportback - (am i right in saying these are ever so slightly bigger than the Golf?)
1.4 TFSI
S-Tronic - The Mrs doesnt get on with manual gearbox plus i love DSG too much!
S-Line
Does anyone own the A3 with the 1.4 TFSI engine? Is there any major problems know about this engine? Whats the real world fuel consumption like?
Also, i'm open to suggestions from fellow members - maybe point me in the direction of something i hadn't considered..
Thanks in advance!
