Hi all

Thanks for replying, I now live in Dublin and tax and insurance is very expensive over here. The A3 is coming out at only €480

The A3 feels very solid compared to other cars in our budget and the selection of cars is no where near as varied as it is in the UK.

I wanted a 1.7 puma but its too small and the insurance is twice the price

Oh and the OH LOVES Audis

I would VERY much prefer the 1.8T but the insurance is double!

What about the tdi? I'd still pay double the insurance for the 1.8t. But im an idiot and I hemorrhage cash

the Tdi commands quite a premium over here, I would also happily pay double for the 1.8T but its for Mrs Wolfy and she does not want to pay more for the insurance
