Hello I hope I am allowed to ask questions , to help me decide which particular Audi I should consider buying.

I own and drive a Ford Focus Auto 2020 model but wish to consider a change. I like the Audi A3 but I was advised by a family member that I should consider buying an SUV, because of my age ( soon to be 71). I then thought that if I should consider an SUV I should go for an Audi Q2? So I went to the internet and looked at the AUDI Q2 but my initial search did not come out as favourable.

Please may I receive some advice? Thanks in advance

Thank you Cliff.

Hi All. I can't remember word for word what I posted.

Basically , I quite like the A3 and having bought my Focus Titanium I was disappointed to then find out that it had wet belt issues; I'm given to understand that that does not happen on Audi's A3's. I have to admit that the dashboard's on the A3s are quite appealing; I recall this when my son test drove one. I'm also guessing that Audi A3 owners think highly of their cars too? Would you recommend the A3, to me please? Thanks in advance.

Buying new, secondhand, budget Martin?

Are you considering petrol, diesel, or hybrid Martin? What engine size would suit you? What is your typical journey length?

Hi Magnet,

I would be buying second hand , not new .My budget is £22,500 . I could go to £23k but would be reluctant , unless it's got all that I want

Hi Cliff, I would be only looking at used petrol or hybrid's ( but not plug in). I will definitely avoid diesel. I would not want to go over 1.5 maximum ( have I got that right , ie 1.5 ?). My Focus is a 999 cc and I wouldn't want to go over an equivalent Audi 1 litre. I have to admit I know very little about audi's and their engine sizes. I don't do a lot of mileage. ; I rarely go over 2,000 miles a year

I think your best bet is to read lots of reviews in Autotrader and the like. Only you can decide what factors are important to you, and what you can afford.
