New A3 Sportback owner

[martins]

Just got a 2009 1.8TFSi Sportback with 7 speed DSG. Had an A3 2.0 TDi for 5 years, brilliant car but fancied a change so I brought a Honda CRZ, a great car but build quality not up to Audi standards, I also had a few VW's but again not Audi's!

Hi Martin, welcome 

I briefly drove a Honda CRZ once and definitely agree with your comments. I'm sure it felt faster than it was though perhaps thanks to the hybrid?

How are you finding the TFSI/DSG combo?

Hi James,

So far pretty impressed with the DSG, we also have an old 1.8T A3 and the new TFSi engine is a real improvement over that. Although considering the old A3 has 155k on the clock its still reliable and reasonable to drive.

You can't argue with that... 155k and still drives pretty well! A testament to Audi's engineering!
