2002 Audi A3 TDI review from UK and Ireland
"Very reliable performance diesel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint finish on air conditioning panel wears off.
Drivers seat creaked, removed and fixed myself.
General comments?
As I started to do a lot more miles, I wanted a car to handle them. I always liked the look of the A3, so purchased a 2002 A3 TDi Sport (130 bhp).
The vehicle is built very well; it cruises along the motorways without any problems, and you don't feel tired after the journey.
It's reasonably economical on fuel if you take it easy, and cruise control helps.
If you fancy a good pace, then the car is very rewarding, with good performance and handling.
