Mo Drifter Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hi everybody, I've always wanted to get an Audi and now I'm looking to buy my 1st A3, petrol, manual transmission, but confused whether I should get the 1.6 or 2.0!! I enjoyed my Golf TDi and now need a Euro 4 compliant car, the A3 is my Number 1 choice, love German Technology. I want it for leisure, perhaps 8000 to 10,000 miles in a year. My budget is limited as I'm going through a career change, so I need something decent on fuel and insurance. I love to drive, not race, but drive, the driving experience, to have good handling and some power at times. I've so far seen for sale many A3s, 2004-2008, 3 door and 5 door, manual, petrols, some 1.6 and some 2.0. The big question is 'Is the 1.6 petrol manual under-powered?' Thank you.

Trevor Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hi Mo....welcome to the Forum From experience, I would say that the 1.6 manual is more than sufficient to provide the 'driveability' that you are looking for. Equally, it is a reliable engine and provides a pretty decent MPG in return. Let us know how you get on with finding a good one. Cheers, Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
