    The current A3 is basically an 8 YO car, and only a total fúcking idiot would buy one new.

    Same can be said if the Golf. The Audi has been refreshed extensively just like that too.

    The golf is underrated. Maybe Im biased but Ive driven a few different cars (including my bro's BMW) and I can safely ay that my TDI Golf trumps em all.Granted its an import, but its head and shoulders above every car I've driven.(My BMW driving bro will vouch for this).:cool:

    Golfs are cheaper.And better. Import a golf with all the trimmings from the UK and your laughing compared to a poverty spec A3from a robbing garage.

    It all depends what exactly you are comparing it against.

    If someone was buying me the car I would select the a3 as I think it looks more pleasing, however if it were my own money I'd go for the golf as it might represent better value for money and would be easy to sell on afterwards.

    I agree. But they really fceked up on the interior. It's well screwed together but materials are bad in parts. But my last one with 120k km on it was rattle free.

    "Us Audi Drivers". haha jesus you'd swear your driving a Bently. I like Audi they have pedigree (thanks to marketing) but to say it's in a different league to Volkswagen is stupid. Same production line, same engines, same transmissions, same suspension, same electrics.
    If I was buying a new car tomorrow and i had to pick a VAG product I'd stick with Volkswagen, why spend thousands for the same car?

    Oh ya the four little rings.

    Sounds like he's comparing a 2.0L TDI 140 golf to an E46 316i...


    Don't think many cars would have trouble trumping that particular model, not exactly Bavaria's finest engine.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that was a serious post.

    For me its partly due to the attitudes and ego's that drivers of certain German brands display that would cause me not to want to be assosiated with owning one.

    I see it in work regularly, customers leaving in a passat and trying to give me step by step instructions on how to use the 'special' electronic handbrake as if its something that only people of a certain 'class' would be familiar with.
    I've actually been on the recieving end of looks of distain and disbilief and was once even looked up and down when I mentioned to them that I used to own a new model passat.:rolleyes:(long story..I didn't own one by choice)

    Both are "runabouts"

    The A3 should have a few more creature comforts than the Golf but you never know...

    Can't beat the base Golf, 90 bhp, manual windows etc, imho. 55mpg., recorded as completed 450k Miles before terminal wear.
