A3 sportback vs Golf

[Midnight27]

Hey everyone, 

This maybe a silly question to ask on a Audi forum- but I just wanted to get people's opinion on the a3 vs the golf. I'm currently looking at buying one of the two but can't decide and just wanted some honest feedback on the a3. 

Is the Audi really worth the extra cost over the golf? Apart from the badge what more will the a3 give me over the golf etc. Anything would be helpful and I would really appreciate it.

thanks in advance

Hi Paul...welcome to the Forum

I would say the Audi has the edge over the VW for better residual value over time but apart from that I can't think of much else to be honest

Let us know what you decide and how you got to the decision.

Hey everyone, 

Just thought I'd let you know how i got on. I finally managed to test drive the Audi A3 sportback in sport spec- and as much as I LOVED the test drive and the way the car handle it didn't feel much better than the golf. And the monthly figure they were asking for was WAY more than the golf and to top it off I was pretty much taking off all the little extras I wanted on the car to get the price down. So I've decided I'm gonna stick with the golf- for me personally the difference between the two cars wasn't a big enough gap to justify the extra cost. Who knows it maybe my next car in a few yrs.

thanks for all your help though

Probably the wise decision...
