Hi steve ,thanks for welcoming me to the forum 😊. I am loving the A3 automatic and wish I had chosen automatic years ago . I have had many vw and Audi cars but have never had auto . The A3 is a lovely quiet and spacious car ,having mainly diesels in the past I can't actually believe how quiet a patrol engine is !. The 1.8 is lovely and nippy and extremely comfortable even though it's the sports version ,I'm loving the steering wheel paddles too ,useful for when you need a quick overtake or to climb faster on a hill . I'm sure I will learn how to drive it better after I've had it a while . If anyone has any tips on how to get the best performance from an automatic I'd be very grateful .
