A3 TDI loaner. Okay car, but not for me because not wagon.
Pretty good looking, but could use about a 1" drop. Serious gap. I'm sure there's an A-Line, B-Line, S-Line, or whatever package that gives you some "sport" springs.
Drives nicely, about as buzzy feeling as a '90s gas 4-banger, and looks pretty good.
Very fun to watch the fuel efficiency at 40+. Just about twice as good as the A4.
Interior has been cheaper down quite a bit from what I expect from Audi. Looks like VW-level, which isn't particularly terrible, but maybe a little dated.
Controls are nice. Climate is very simple and intuitive. Stereo pops out of the dash and after it found my phone, I popped it away for a very clean look. It seemed pretty low res, but I'd likely have it hidden away most of the time.
Car has 100 miles on it and two rattles. Not cool. Maybe cool in 1991 from a Hyundai, but a 2015 Audi? Nope.
It wants to be driven slowly. At 65mph on the highway, it felt like it wanted to be going 50. That's diesel?
Transmission was okay. Felt a little more rough than the Sportwagen TDI, which at first I thought was silly since I assumed they shared a trans, but no, Jetta is a DSG.
Overall, decent loaner, but I'm not sure it makes much sense as a purchase considering where fuel prices are right now.![[Image: 174075f5629113f29be45370f1068018.jpg]](http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/23/174075f5629113f29be45370f1068018.jpg)
