What‘s it? This is actually the cheapest method of getting your hands on the new car with four rings on its grille, the entry-level Audi A3 1.4 TFSI Sportback 1. 4 TFSI. The turbocharged 1390cc four-pot gets everywhere lately, so we happen to be impressed using its capcapacity to punch above its weight. Stop-start technology, which has been slowly rolled in various Audis, features and provides a good bigger boost towards the unit’s impressive efficiency and emissions. The 1. 4-litre is almost 10bhp more powerful than the wider 1. 6-litre FSI unit it replaces in both the A3 and A3 Sportback, and it also propels the small Audi to 62mph in 9. 4sec, and that is respectable.
The Co2 figure weighs in at 134g / km, and this is a leap forward during the 1. 6. What’s it like? Once various levels happen to be reached, for example cabin and engine temperature, the stop-start comes into play. Unlike some similar systems the car should be taken from gear and also the clutch depressed until the engine dies, however this soon becomes second nature. Power coming from the 1. 4 TSI is adequate and though the car doesn’t feel as quick like the figures suggest, It‘s no problem checking up on other traffic.
Just like any Audi the budget Audi A3 1.4 TFSI Sportback embarrasses its rivals when one thinks of interior quality and it also feels also screwed together as most other Audis inside the range. Increase that lashings of understated style and you‘ll feel a cut above other hatchbacks during this bracket. The most important bugbear is that the ride, which again is just like other cars in Audi’s range, the car rattling unnecessarily over small scars in an open road, especially considering its modest power. The upside is fairly tidy handling, which is perhaps helped from the lightweight engine early on. Should I buy one? This can be a fairly cheerful entry into the planet of Audi, but sadly it is not that cheap. However, if build quality and looks are high in your priority list then it’s difficult to ignore.
