AUDI A3 1.2 TFSI 3dr (2010)

Audi A3 1.2 TFSi 3Dr Review - A rip off?

I paid a lot of money for my Audi A3 1.2 TFSi hatchback - more than I thought I would, but me and the missus had our minds set on it so I decided to just splurge on it and pay in instalments. Now it's a great car, don't get me wrong, but I'm not altogether sure it's really worth what I paid for it.

It definitely looks the part, and that's what attracted us to the car in the first place, and it has the feel of a good quality motor. But over and above that I don't really see what's so special about it. Ours is admittedly from the cheaper end of the scale, but the engine really isn't that impressive. Plus the A3 1.2 TFSi definitely handles well, but the ride itself is far from perfect.

Another thing that got me slightly miffed was the lack of kit that it came with. I would have had to fork out a serious amount of money to be provided with what would be considered quite standard on other cars. Maybe I was being a bit naive but really I expected a bit more for my money. Make no mistake though - it's a great car; just not great value.
