Blaa Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Conception AUDI A3: More largely, more sportily, more expensively. The new AUDI A3 is longer, broader and lower than its predecessor. It works now extremely dynamically, from the front may one to it even " an intelligent " face expression award. The designers found here to a clearly changed stylistic idiom. There the lateral dynamics do not fall themselves by to the rear the tapering window portion nearly in the weight. Altogether applies: The compact one from Ingolstadt gemausert itself. Above all, if one regards the A3 3,2 quattro with V6-Motor and 184 kW/250 HP with permanent all-wheel drive. The door of the Zweituerers up-swinging far loads almost for entering in. Height and if far-adjustable leather multi-function steering wheel as well as the seat are correctly adjusted, it can go loosely. Beautifully: Also Langbeinige find place good. Sporty chassis A force is the six cylinder: If the engine bubbles dezent, the strength can be already converted into violent progressive movement with a light footstep on the accelerotor pedal. No doubt: The indicated Sprintwert with 6.5 seconds of zero on speed 100 is loosely fulfilled. The well divided 6-Gang-Schaltung provides for driving fun purely. And on kurviger distance the sporty A3 keeps at any time its trace, as if he would run on rails. Hieran carries the further developed front axle with triangle steering wheels and the new four-steering wheel rear axle out an important portion. The first A3-Generation was sold to 900,000 times. Now AUDI with the second generation with a wheel base increased around 6.5 centimeters wants to set, in the width and a height shortened around a centimeter new accents for three centimeters of pluses. The fronttriebler comes first as Zweituerer with alternatively five engines of 75 kW/102 HP to 184 kW/250 HP and the three admitted equipment variants " Attraction ", " ambition " and " Ambiente " on the market. For the initially mentioned Top variant sport friends must wait this yearly still up to the autumn. Prices and equipment lines The entrance price for the Benziner A3 1.6 (75 kW/102 HP) was determined at proud 18,850 euro. For the Benziner A3 2,0 FSI (110 kW/150 HP) become 22,100 euro due. The two Diesels A3 1,9 TDI (77 kW/105 HP) stand with 20.700 euro and/or. 22,500 euro for the A3 2,0 TDI (103 kW/140 HP) in the list. Surcharge for the equipment " ambition " constitutes 1,600 euro. " Ambiente " costs 1,500 euro plus. Praise is entitled to risen available space in the entire interior. Small deficiency: With a body size of over 1.80 meters one pushes with the head on the rear middle seat to " an interior dent " at the roof. Otherwise however all passengers on the rear seats find accomodation comfortably. The standard covers among other things electrical window lifters in front, zentralverriegelung with radio remote maintenance, new comfortable and side stop offering front seats with active head restraints, head Airbagsystem and ESP. The Easy entry function in such a way specified for the front seats must be improved still, there it every now and then hooking ELT. Send works the anthrazitfarbene, grained instrument panel with the let in round instruments and the clearly arranged function keys. Also otherwise the interior is in good taste arranged. The trunk is limited with 350 litres sufficient and can be increased by surrounding the backrest on 1,100 litre. Engines and transmissions The engine offer offers the correct for nearly all buyer desires. Already the basis Benziner with 1,6-Liter-Hubraum and 75 kW/102 HP convinces. It is spritzig and carries passable services out with the progress over country and in the city - the five-gear shift is if industriously used. Also the two Diesels convince and are being sufficient SAM, although they do not perform their work by any means in the whispering clay/tone. Also with the transmission the selection is large. Manually switched 5-oder 6-Ganggetriebe as well as a 6-Gang-Tiptronic leaves itself to orders. The strongest in each case petrol and TDI versions are there in addition also with the new direct transmission DSG. Result All in all: No simple " successor " of the old A3 places itself to the choice of the buyers here. A fundamentally new compact car with Premium requirement and sporty ambitions steps into the footlights. However has his price, which is not low straight with at least 18,850 euro. AUDI would like to set still 60,000 units off in this year in Germany. Times sees, what the customer says to it (talk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
