Interesting video posted over on golfmk7.com. A few simple cosmetic changes can make a big difference, and make the mk8 GTI look so much better IMO.

ETTO.

I wouldn't call that an improvement. And to cap it off, those wheels on a GTi are just a no!  :sick:

Only my opinion  :smiley:

I completely agree, his design looks more wonky than the Autocar mockups :whistle:

The wheels look ok but I’d not want to have to clean them!
The front end is still a fail.

Shame there’s unlikely to be a Worthersee Treffen this year as VW might have had a design study hinting at where the Ed45 might be heading.

If anyone is interested and wants to know more about the new Audi A3, Chris Martin from Coldplay has done a video review here;-

It's only the 1.5 TSi but still it does look pretty smart in S Line trim.

Much, much prefer that to the Golf. 

Does anyone know if the DSG in that 1.5 A3 is the same box as the DQ200 dry clutch in the Golf, just with a different name?

AFAIK its the dry clutch DSG which is the one used on the less powerful Mk7.x's

It's not the same as the GTI one.

Thanks Fred.  Yeah, that's what 'm trying to confirm. The wet clutch DQ380(?) in the GTI and R seems pretty reliable.  Unlike the dry clutch DQ200 grenade.  I'm really liking the new A3 in either 3-cyl or especially 1.5 4-cyl form, but I suspect both come with the DQ200.  Despite Audi trying to disguise the fact calling it S-tronic.  No way will I buy a car with that DQ200 gearbox.

No way will I buy a car with that DQ200 gearbox.

My wife has that clutch in her 2014 A3. Audi "fixed" it. Worked ok for another a year. Now juddering again when changing gears.

The experience has put my wife off another Audi. Which is a pity and the new A3 looks better than the new Golf.

She was considering a Golf. I told her they are using the same crappy gearbox. That's now put her of a Golf.

To avoid that crappy gearbox - I think she should get an S3 saloon. :evil:
