Hi Folks

My partner has MS so we're looking for small engined Automatic.

Seriously considering A3 Sportback with S-Tronic Auto, entry level 1.0 Tfsi.

Anyone out there any experience of this 1.0  Model with Auto.

See a lot of favourable discussions on the larger engines with 7 speed auto.

Gerry.

 

Welcome to the forum Gerry 

youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

I'm unable to help though as iv not had any experience with the 1.0tfsi engine in the a3 but iv experienced the smal engines tfsi engines in the a1. For town driving it's perfect as it can be nippy at low speeds. However if you are doing a lot of motorway driving you may found the engine is slightly noisey as it's here where the engine has to work hard. 

Also the S tronic box is nice and is one of the better auto gearboxes out there. 

Here's the link to the what car review. You may have seen it already but thought I'd share:
