Was surprised they gave you an audi
Apparently it was all they could source locally. They said they'd try and get me a GTD, but wasn't one available. Then they offered me a cabriolet Audi A3 at first but I said I'd rather not have a cab, so got this instead.
So far, reduced performance and diesel engine aside, I'm not overly keen on it. Find the cabin very cramped and the driving position odd compared to the Golf. Seems like you have to be practically be on top of the steering wheel to reach the clutch pedal. Headroom is much less and twice I've hit my head on the top of the door frame getting out of the car. Don't like the tiny rear view mirror, centre console, which seems like a lot of wasted space or the steering wheel which feels too big and cumbersome. It's a boggo standard A3 but IMO interior does not feel more premium in any sense. I expect I'll get accustomed to it, but much, much prefer the Golf cabin. Also other half hates the sliding dash top mounted sat nav/media screen - finds it distracting, but I don't mind that. I guess I've been conditioned by Golfs too long.
