Golf v A3 - 1.4 150?
Discussion
Not sure if this is a question for here of the VAG section? Anyway...
Just wondering if there is a completing reason why I should buy a used [budget about 17/18k] petrol VW Golf 1.4 150bhp over an Audi A3 1.4 150bhp, or the other way round?
My wife is due a new [to her] car. We had a test drive of a year old Golf yesterday [with DSG] and really like it. At the top of my list is that her replacement car will have more usable performance than her current 2007 MINI Cooper, and this engine appears to have that - so no real need for a GTi, even though that's what I want her to get!
Due to reading a good few bad things about the reliability of DSG, and the costs involved when fixing them, I decided manual was the way to go but after driving the Golf with the auto I now think we should get one [as long as we can extend the warranty etc].
Other than the looks [both are fine]. What small things would push you towards one or the other.
We did look at the Leon too but Mrs BUG4LIFE isn't drawn to the looks as much and I felt the interior was a little step down.
Thanks in advance
