Petrol or diesel Audi A3?

Filed under: choosing used car

The question

Should I go for an Audi A3 petrol (2011, 1.2 engine, 67,982km) or an A3 1.6 diesel (2011, 82,077km)? Which is the better buy and why?

Hi Marion,

Depends on what you need it for really. If you're doing low mileage or just duffing around town most of the time, then the 1.2 petrol is sweet, more refined and probably a bit cheaper to buy. If on the other hand you do big miles or spend lots of time on the motorway, then the diesel is the one to have with genuine 60mpg potential.
