older Audi A3 Auto buying advice?
Discussion
In the market to replace my old car (Toyota) and was after something a bit nicer narrowed down my search to Audi A3,VW Golf and possibly BMW 1 Series.budget £4k must be automatic and petrol.
so in regards to A3 (2008-2010) what variants I should search for and which ones to avoid?
I prefer 1.6 since insurance premium is not too high and is powerful enough.
but there seems to be certain models with worse DSG gearbox reliability? (This also applies to Golf) 7 speed dry / 6 speed wet and there’s also models with timing chain vs models with cambelt (much cheaper to replace).
any suggestions?
what should I look for test driving them specially DSG gearbox related?
