2013 Audi A3 1 6 TDI Sport First Drive Review

Monday, January 5, 2015



Power supply is minimal, but at least in the series of the carbon dioxide emissions of the Audi A3 diesel, bringing the latest model of the various interesting (at least until lawmakers to change the limit) attract VED road tax and London congestion charge exemption.

Just under more than 1,000 sports, fine-tuning of the equivalent petrol models, these low-power-1.6 diesel 99g/km of carbon dioxide emissions and claimed 74.3mpg stopped and other ecological technologies. We tested the medium size sports interior, bringing the suite, including dual-zone climate control, sports seats, perhaps the most controversial sport suspension, 15 mm seat road car.

Before you bit niggly, lets be clear: As we finish the road test, the latest A3 is a very good car. This is par for the course, and that is, it has a nice interior. But it never really developed flavor, so you kind of excited about driving. However, competitive price for the BMW 1 Series and the strong residual predicts that, in the long run, it makes great economic sense.


However, the number of machines may be impressive, there is a price to pay: 104bhp, from, 3000RPM and 184 pound feet of torque from 1,500 rpm to provide enough, but the rate of the whole insipid. Mooch and you have enough to keep up with the ebb and flow of everyday road conditions, but little more. However, on the other hand, the fact that you have to measure, it is very quiet, as long as you keep the speed low.

However, more requirements, particularly in high gear, and you will find, both in performance and sound a bit short. It can hover your mouse to the edge, drowsiness, image conscious performance Audi four-ring badge fulfill this commitment, the buyer may be questionable.

Sitting is also a problem, and a sporty suspension system should put most of the blame, more than firmness. It is true, complete 1.6 diesel A3s sit less sophisticated torsion beam rear suspension, but, it is the automotive equivalent of the standard suspension and 17-inch wheels up pliantly than this example.

The best advice is to test drive a car for yourself, decide what you can tolerate, but the good news is that you can remove the standard decorated with sporty suspension sport, no charge, we will take action.



If you like the Audi A3 and with the economy and emissions eyes, then you should. As long as you are not at the same rate to increase heart rate, fairly positive outweigh the negative factors.

Lowered suspension also needs to be considered carefully. Interior Sport brings interesting additional tool kit and some extra spark, drive the bumpy rural roads typically fall, is enough to make you regret your purchase, so be careful in testing. If you do not like what you find, however, a simple solution is at hand.
