Audi a3 technik special edition

You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. ARH Registered User. I currently have a Golf MK4 but I want to upgrade within the next month or two to a Audi A3 8P I am just wondering if anyone has any experience with them, and what are they like?

I have had a look at a couple on eBay but are they over priced? Whats the budget? I can tell mate but insurance is too much for the 2. I have a budget of 6k, maybe a bit more if the car is right! Have you looked at the 1. Cruiser89 Advanced In Car Tech. I had a 59 plate 1. The only good bits were the extras I spec'd. The engine was pretty poor but it served me well for a year. The older diesels suffer from turbo failures ALOT. Which even the recalls, done by Audi, do not always fix. Along with DPF problems too The 2.

I say, stick to a TFSI, pay a bit more, but youll fix it less. They even do a 1. Cruiser89 said:. Paul76R Registered User. Out of your two choices the SE looks a better spec car, just check its an FSI as i think the basic 1. Also i'd avoid the "special editions" as they are just poverty spec! Zak Registered User. Got a 1. Not too shabby! Agreed with Paul, if you can wait for a bigger engine Paul76R said:. Zak said:. The Audi A3 firmly established the premium compact class in Now, more than a quarter of a century further on, the fourth generation of this highly successful model is ready to make its mark.

These days of course, this Audi faces strong competition, but back in when we first saw the A3 model line, the idea of being able to move a car up-market in class and appeal without increasing its size was new and rather different. Cynics dismissed it as a way of dressing up ordinary family hatches and charging a lot more for them. Customers though, loved the idea and by the time the second generation A3 arrived in , BMW and Mercedes rivals had also arrived to swell the market.

Initially, those two brands struggled to produce products good enough to overtake Audi and the result was that nearly a quarter of a million MK2 A3s were pounding global roads by the time the third generation model arrived in the Autumn of It sold for nearly eight years until this more cutting-edge MK4 model arrived. Everything about this car is designed to deliver on the concept of a Volkswagen Golf with just a touch more polish - and the driving experience it offers is no exception.

If you're an A3 regular - or a graduate from a Golf - you'll find that this Audi now has even more of the mature drive dynamics you'll be looking for, helped by a fully digital at-the-wheel experience and the optional embellishment of hybrid power and self-driving tech. Differences with this MK4 design initially seem quite subtle, primarily centred around slightly sharper steering and handling that's now a little more responsive.

That's thanks to a wider track and the introduction of a 'modular dynamic handling control system' that, based on steering movements, predictively co-ordinates interplay between all the car's dynamic systems - like a conductor with an orchestra - so the car can always be one step ahead of the drive inputs you want to make. As before, you'll need to avoid the lowest-powered petrol and diesel variants if you want the brand's suppler, more sophisticated multi-link rear suspension set-up.

Ah yes, engines: they've evolved too: the two volume petrol units - a PS 1. That MHEV set-up sees an integrated volt 'BAS' belt alternator starter-generator powers a volt main electrical set-up in which a volt compact lithium-ion battery in the boot stores energy harvested via a 'KERS' kinetic energy recovery system.

If you don't care about Friends of the Earth, you can do better with the alternative conventional 30 TDI diesel model of course - which now develops PS using a larger, more efficient 2. There's also a PS 2. If you purely prioritise performance, you're more likely to be drawn to the S3 quattro hot hatch, which, as before, uses a PS 2. At the top of the range is the PS RS 3.

Audi's given this MK4 model a more athletic stance and its concave flanks introduce a completely new element into the company's design philosophy. It's really only the Ford Focus that offers keen drivers more fun, especially in its latest version. There are also four-wheel-drive variants badged quattro for added traction in slippery conditions. The driving position is spot on. It's fair to say that the A3 is so good that desirability might be its only problem: demand on the used car market is high.
