My Sportback is finally going back after three years. At now 140,000 km, I have been quite a happy Audi driver, except maybe for the unresolved turbocharger mysteries. Cleaned inside and out, the car pretty much looks like new, forget a minor dent on the right hand side and some scratches on top of the rear bumper. The BNS 5.0 Satnav though appears pretty much stone-age technology today, and I have come to dislike the too-stiff suspension and insufficient noise insulation of the car over time. Other than that, fuel consumption was around 5.3 liters on average which is absolutely what I expected and a good value for a car this size.
The A3′s replacement already arrived, stays in the family, a brand new VW Golf Bluemotion sporting the new 1.6 TDI engine and a number of efficiency tweaks.
I am going to update the site to cover the new one appropriately over the next few days, stay tuned.
