After over 5 years with my beloved Volvo xc60 lux auto, it’s time to move on! I completed the test drive of the Audi Q3 sline 1.5 petrol this morning and was impressed with the car so much that i ordered straight after. I have completed 3 test drives: the x1 d xline and the tiguan yesterday, and i have decided to go with the Audi. It may not be as big inside as the Tiguan, but it feels and looks in a different class.The Black Edition is only £150 more than the Sline, so gone with that. We are talking about a £38,000 car here for £2300 Deposit, its a steal ! Downside is thst it does not come with Heated Seats. Lead times for Audi- 13 to 16 weeks. Any questions please ask.
Thanks for the update. Very interesting. Good to hear that you found the 1.5 to be OK, especially after moving from an XC60 which I assume had a 2.0 litre? These modern engines seem woefully small on paper but can surprise. Both my daughters have 1.0 litre turbo engines (one Ford and one Hyundai) and both are really quick cars. No lack of oomph at all (and I’m used to powerful cars). I agree that the quality in the Q3 is a step up from the Tiguan, if the smaller space isn’t an issue for you. I know it might sound pathetic, but we couldn’t entertain a car without heated seats these days as we use them so much. Are they really £1k (presumably as part of a pack)? They are standard on most cars these days and usually no more than £250 when an extra. How was the ride over uneven surfaces. I would never choose sport suspension but there’s no option to delete it with the S-Line or Black Edition, as far as I can tell.
