Paddie 3rd Gear April 18, 2018 Share April 18, 2018 yeah i don't even think you should come close to a VAG car in your lifetime. A3 sedan looks not bad but the hatch is better simply cos the wheelbase is actually longer than the A3 sedan. U actually got more leg room. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic April 18, 2018 Share April 18, 2018 hmmm. Thanks for correcting me. But this information was on a video car review and my friend who owns a 2014 A3 HB said the HB has better legroom than the sedan. It's been FL since then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithchue 5th Gear April 20, 2018 Author Share April 20, 2018 Your vw also 5 yrs warranty? Look what happened! aiyoh, that is a consideration to me, don't want o feel the DSG again,flawed application 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdf4786k Twincharged April 20, 2018 Share April 20, 2018 aiyoh, that is a consideration to me, don't want o feel the DSG again,flawed application well as we all know, the wet clutch is quite robust. So if given a choice, marry the sister that has a better genes. But the DNA of the services ( in-law) will still give you a bitter taste if you visit the workshop, Just that if you dont visit the in law often , whats there not to like.? Why dont spend a bit more and get the skoda vRS? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuelsaver Supercharged April 25, 2018 Share April 25, 2018 Just like mod don't scared, scared don't mod. Buy don't scared, scared don't buy. For me is Honda city. Ironically I've gotten a freed instead n it's i-dcd trans. Anyway, cars just aren't for keep given our car ownership scheme here. Drive till warranty up n it's time to move on, carless or not. but when breakdown middle of road, the cost is not just repair cost (which is the only thing warranty covers)Cost of inconvenience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuelsaver Supercharged April 25, 2018 Share April 25, 2018 Hey everybody Was doing some maths and cost-benefit in my mind Was previously looking at the A3. Cost 113000. DP 16k. Monthly 1200 Now bought city - cost 93000. DP 22k. Monthly 1037. Based on cost and specs. Which will u guys buy and dispose after 5 yrs ownership? Stupid or make sense Oops u bot city. Good. Rear space good, rear AC vents gooder, rear tweeters goodest! If only I went to kahmotor earlier.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuelsaver Supercharged April 26, 2018 Share April 26, 2018 wghat is I-DCD transmission ...heiz.... double heiz Intelligent dual clutch drive. Though I found Jap tuning doesn't judder as much, or maybe e way I control my accel. Changing of gears may not b as instant as vw, thus hopefully will last significantly longer. Drive is reasonably smooth for e 10mths / 18k km of ownership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithchue 5th Gear May 3, 2018 Author Share May 3, 2018 while that is true, super duper laggy hybrid? with electric motor in the middle? I test the b-class, found that the gearshift is laggy than the Vw, but I would trade that for reliability, I have not seen any complaints on the DSG on the merc. anyone has seen any? btw, 6 more days to handover... dekit season starts this weekend, going for 1 last car wash ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
