Hi Mark,
I’ve just ordered the Audi A3 30 tfsi s-Tronic saloon last week. We went with the colour Turbo blue.
I’m also under 25. We are quite lucky that this car has become available for under 25s because the hatchback version is still not available for under 25s for some odd reason.
Audi say that they don’t offer any discounts on the AP but in my opinion the AP of £2799 is quite competitive as it’s a very nice car!
The AP for the 116d Sport is £2999 and the A3 saloon is a much more nicer car.
I also had the same reservations about the 1.0 petrol engine, however this new 30 tfsi engine is very quiet & paired with the s tronic gearbox it’s very smooth.
It doesn’t feel like it’s only 115bhp.
if you’re interested in the A3 saloon, I would suggest making your enquiries and test drive asap.
I only say this as after speaking to our Audi motability specialist he advised that is very likely it will be removed off the scheme in the upcoming weeks for under 25s. As they are currently receiving a lot of orders for the A3 saloon 30tfsi and it’s only been available for 2 weeks. Similar scenario to when the A4 black edition was released onto the scheme in Jan 2020 and removed after 2 weeks due to the high demand.
any questions feel free to ask
