1999 Audi A3 Ambition review from UK and Ireland
"All in all a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical Problems:
-Electric windows working/not working and working incorrectly.
-Brake bulb not working - Due too bad bulb holder - easily fixed
-Indicators - Used to freeze occasionally, seems to have fixed itself!
-Radio - Sometimes will be working fine and after awhile the unit will appear to have turned off, but will still play and you cannot control it, until it decides to switch back on
Burns oil - Don't know why!
General comments?
No major problems with the car.
The Audi Dealers tend to bring up the price a bit.
The Interior is excellent and very comfortable, all controls are very easy to use and the fact that you can adjust seat height and the steering wheel makes the car very adaptable to all.
Rear view is a bit obstructed due to the car being up higher in the back.
