Hi all

Hi everyone.

Just thought I would say hello from rainy Somerset, UK.

I have recently purchased a 2005 Audi A3 3.2 Quattro Sport which replaced a Suzuki Swift Sport.

The difference for me is like night and day. The swift wasn't exactly slow but the A3 is in a different league.

Fuel consumption isn't that bad considering the engine size. I am achieving 30mpg on average on my commute to work.

The car has a few extras like bose sound system, heated seats with electric lumbar (needed for my back) and Symphony II 6 CD auto changer.

Overall I am extremely pleased.

Quick pic of when I first saw it:

Interestingly my dads new A3 Sportback 2.0TDI SE PD140 now feels extremely slow in comparison.

Anyway I am rambling.

Cheers

Owen

Hi Owen and welcome to the forum ...

Nice motor and the best engine for the A3 in my opinion aprt from the S3 of course

Cheers.

I liked the S3 but I found the seats far too uncomfortable for my back.

Also the V6 sounds alot better imo
