Audi A3 Frugality

Filed under: Audi Reviews — mark @ 4:35 pm

You would never guess that the manufacturers of executive cars would be leading the way in fuel emmissions, clearly less is more in this ever aware green world, that Audi’s baby the Audi A3 1.6 TDI can now do around 74 miles to the gallon and has a CO2 output of 99%. As we know just about all taxes in theĀ  UK relates to CO2 emmissions, so that meams less road tax, less fuel (so less tax) and if you are a business owner, leasing an Audi 3, then this also means being able to claim more tax back as a business expense, not mentioning the savings in running the car.

There appears almost to be a running battle with german manufacturers who can get their cars running for less, not a bad thing for us consumers. The Audi A3 also has start stop technology, stopping the engine when the car comes to a halt then starting it again when the clutch is depressed, especillay usefull in start stop situations like traffic lights or traffic jams. This frugal modal is out now, but there are other versions of teh Audi A3 with a bit more power in exchange for a bit more CO2 output. These cars are built to the same standard as their larger counterparts, but clearly aimed at a slighty different market, being smaller in size.

OK you might be considering Audi A3 contract hire, so for that purpose here is another review viseo on the subject, however before these new frugal changes were out in place.
