    Just helping to point out a better use of £15K whilst mentioning out the ample opportunities of testing an A3.

    Can't get more friendly and welcoming than that now can you

    The guy is in the wrong place!
    Why ask a question about an Audi here?
    Something smells fishy!
    There is no substitute for cubic inches!

    Hi Eddie
    a strange question from a new guy on a MG Forum but that's ok I guess.

    Turbo diesel Audis tend to chew up there turbos, not as well known as some other car failures, my brother in laws turbo let go over Christmas and took the engine with it. This is not so well known here in the uk but quite well known in Germany so I am told. My personal opinion is that there are much nicer cars out there to drive, I've had several A3 and also A4 for work, none of them have been that great to drive. The turbo petrol 1.8's also suffered with head gasket problems. My bosses failed at 6 months old and not that high a mileage. We have no Audi company cars any more! And I work for a very large well known engineering company.

    Theres better ways to spend that money. A MG 260 if you don't already have one!

    Cheers
