How quickly things change.如何迅速改变东西. The first Audi A3 was hailed as a landmark in small car quality but seven years is a long time in this market and by 2003, things had changed.首被誉为奥迪A3级小型轿车质量的一个里程碑,但七年是一段很长的时间,在这个市场到2003年情况有变. What was once deemed superior build quality had become rather run of the mill.曾经一度被视为质量优于建办的厂已成为相当.

HISTORY历史
The original Audi A3 changed the way many premium manufacturers thought about small cars.奥迪A3级改变了原来许多厂家想到小型车保费. Although Mercedes had a go at adding value to the sector with the C Class Sport Coupe, it just wasn?t special enough and nor was BMW?s 3 Series Compact.虽然梅赛德斯已经走在了同行业的增值丙类体育采伐、只是.其余?笔也不是特别够,宝马?收盘三号系列紧凑. Audi had thought long and hard about what buyers in this sector wanted and they certainly didn?t want a ?lite?奥迪已经想到些什么买家,他们一定要在这个部门雾化?笔想要一个?里特? option of an existing model ?选择一个现有的模式? which was what the BMW and Mercedes in effect represented.这是什么宝马、奔驰,实际上代表. Therefore the A3 had to be substantially different to the A4.因此不得不大幅A3级的A4不同的. This formula has served the Ingolstadt company well and was reprised when the second generation A3 was launched in summer 2003.这个公式塔特奥迪服务公司是好当第二代的A3reprised于2003年夏季推出. With a range of high tech engines, the A3 was launched as a three door variant only, with initially no sporty ?S?一系列高科技引擎,推出了3门A3级只变种,起初没有与潇洒?收盘? versions and quattro all-wheel drive transmissions only fitted to the top of the range 3.2-litre cars.所有版本和慑人轮驱动变速器只有顶部安装射程3.2-公升汽车. In summer 2004 the A3 Sportback five-door model was announced, offering a longer car for five-door customers and later that year a 1.6-litre FSI engine was introduced.2004年夏季的A3sportback五门示范揭晓车长提供了5门客户和当年稍后一条1.6公升引擎介绍控股. The impressive 2.0-litre FSI turbo unit that powered the Golf GTi was also made available in the A3.印象2.0公升涡轮控股单位马力的高尔夫GTI组还准备在A3级.
All 3-door cars sold from early summer 2005 were given the Audi ?single frame?全部3门车销售量从2005年的初夏奥迪?单框? grille.门锁. This featured on the Sportback from launch as well as on most of the other Audi models by this time.这个节目的推出,以及来自sportback大部分其他型号的奥迪此时. The S-line sport pack was also made more widely available, bringing an added sporty dimension to the car.S-三线还包运动更为普及,带来了以维续潇洒车.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Longer, wider and lower than its predecessor, here is a car that has punted the A3 back into pole position as the item of choice for the discerning young professional.更长、更广泛和低于942这里有一辆汽车的A3级punted放回杆作为项目选择的年轻专业辨识. The most obvious change over the previous generation car is the increase in wheelbase.最明显的变化,比前一代车轴距增加. The styling is largely evolutionary, remaining obviously an A3, only looking a little stretched.主要的造型进化,剩下的一个明显的A3,只看到少许伸展. The additional 65mm in wheelbase has rectified one of the old A3?s faults, namely that rear seat accommodation was a bit pinched.在轴距增加65mm,校正一个旧的A3?收盘故障即后座房租却有点拮. The extra 30mm of width also helps a little with shoulder room.额外的宽度30mm时也有利于小肩室.
Three-door versions arrived first with five-door Sportback models arriving later.三年来第一次同门版本五门型号sportback稍后抵达. That mirrors the evolution of the old A3 range and, like the old A3, this version rides on Golf underpinnings.这反映了旧的A3范围和演变,像旧的A3,这个版本乘搭高尔夫球依据. Not just any old Golf though.虽然不是任何旧高尔夫球. The A3 was the first car to use the 2004 model Golf chassis, a vehicle platform that allows for far more customisation than before.<A3级轿车是首次使用的2004底盘模型高尔夫、平台使得车辆改装比以前更为. In a way, it?s the Volkswagen Group?s tacit admission that certain Audi/SEAT/Skoda/VW models of the past were a little too similar to justify their vastly divergent prices.在某种意义上?大众汽车集团的收盘?收盘默认某些奥迪/座位/斯/64+15模式过去太相似为其含糊价格. The Mk V Golf platform allows more far more components to be chopped and changed, making for more variation and more choice for customers.第五高尔夫平台让更多的队更是组成摇摆不定,为使更多的变化和更多的选择客户.
Standard safety equipment includes window airbags, electronic stability control, ABS, brake assist, a part-electric power steering system and anti-whiplash head restraints.标准安全装备包括窗口气袋、电子稳定控制、ABS的,刹车协助部分电动助力转向系统、反鞭头垫. The cabin has been restyled to offer a little more design flair, Audi realising that high quality alone isn?t enough to lure buyers into showrooms.机舱已开办多restyled设计气派、奥迪意识到高质量仅肖国?笔足够吸引买家进入展室. There has to be some style on display too.作风上要展示过. The fascia struts ape the interior design of the TT, as do the round air vents and chrome-rimmed dials.Struts的筋膜室内设计的特猿一样的空气通风口和轮铬沸腾拨号. It?s still not what you?d call revolutionary, but it?s beautifully executed.?收盘仍然没有什么你?丁呼吁革命,但它?收盘精美处死.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
If you want quality, you?ll have to be prepared to fork out for the privilege.如果你要质量,你呢?当地须准备花钱买的特权. Opening prices for the late shape A3 start at £12,300 for an 03 plated 1.6-litre model.底价为A3级下旬开始形成了1903年12,300英镑镀1.6公升的模式. The sporty 2.0-litre FSI petrol engine starts at £13,700 and you?ll need at least £19,000 for the 3.2-litre quattro model.潇洒的2.0升汽油发动机的控股13700英镑开始,你呢?当地至少需要1.9万英镑为320公升慑人模式. The diesel options are well worth exploring starting at £13,700 for the 1.9-litre version and £14,700 for the 2.0-litre models.值得探讨的是选择柴油从13700英镑的1.9公升版和14,700英镑的2.0升型号.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
It?s a testament to the quality of modern Audis that most used guides have nothing to report.?收盘质量证明,大多数采用现代奥迪向导没有报道. ?Too new to report any problems??太新报告任何问题? or ?nothing significant?还是?什么重要? are the usual commentaries on the A3, and it?s the same across the Audi range.通常的评论是A3级,它?收盘同一海峡奥迪射程. Reliability of the A3 has been excellent so far, so just look for main dealers service stamps, a sheaf of receipts and check for the usual accident or misuse damage.A3级的可靠性至今一直很好,所以只找主要邮票交易服务,一、支票收据胶束通常意外损坏或误.
On the models fitted with low profile tyres, check the expensive alloy wheels for kerbing damage, and insist on locking wheel nuts.型号装有低调的轮胎,检查昂贵合金轮子镶边损坏坚持车轮螺母锁紧. Other than that, buy with confidence.除此之外,购买信心.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on an A3 1.6) Potential buyers will be cheered to know that premium pricing does not stretch to Audi?s parts prices.(大约基于A3级1.6)潜在买主将欢呼不知道保费定价弹力奥迪?收盘价部分. A replacement headlamp unit is £165 and a starter motor a comparatively inexpensive £150.更换前照灯股165英镑和150英镑的起动马达相对便宜.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
The A3 certainly offers a few mouthwatering selections.当然有几个柠檬的A3级选曲. The two most popular engines are the 150bhp 2.0-litre FSI petrol engine that?s been so successful in the A4 range and a 140bhp 2.0-litre TDI diesel that had never been seen anywhere before.最受欢迎的两个引擎150bhp2.0公升汽油引擎的控股?这样成功的在A4规定范围和140bhp2.0公升柴油TDI的地方,以前从未见过. You can also order a more affordable 105bhp 1.9-litre TDI and a less affordable 240bhp 3.2-litre V6.您也可以以更负担105bhp1.9公升240bhpTDI的负担少了3.2-公升V6导. A 102bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine is also offered as an entry-level model.一102bhp1.6公升汽油引擎也有一个入门级的模式. The V6 is fitted with quattro all-wheel drive transmission as standard and it?s expected to be offered as an option on the 2.0-litre diesel.所有装有慑人的V6导轮驱动和传输标准?收盘预计可提供一个选择的2.0公升柴油.
This diesel offers the sort of performance you?d expect from Audi.这样的表现提供柴油你?丁期望奥迪.

With 60% more torque, however, there?s no doubt which of the two cars will feel the stronger when accelerating down a motorway on-ramp.有60%以上扭矩,但?收盘无疑将其中的两辆汽车加速时感受到更强了对高速公路入口匝道. It?s pull matches the 3.2-litre V6 model, a car which makes 60mph in 6.7 seconds and tops out at 153mph.?赛拉收盘320公升V6导模式,使得汽车在六月七日秒,60mph均居外出153mph. Driving manners across the range have been improved with even the humblest versions riding on multi-link rear suspension.全国驾驶态度已经改善幅度甚至卑微版本骑着多环节后方停牌.
Where Audi really pulls clear of the opposition is in the availability of its revolutionary Dynamic Shift Gearbox (DSG) on the most powerful petrol and diesel models.奥迪明确的拉扯下真的是有在野的革命动力转向变速箱(常务)最强大的汽油和柴油型号. First seen in the TT 3.2 V6 coupe, this system is based around a sequential manual gearbox but utilizes an ingenious twin clutch system to ensure creamy smoothness.2月3日首次出现在特V6导采伐、这个系统是以手工序列而是利用巧妙的双离合器变速箱系统,以确保乳状光滑. Engage first gear and the gearbox will pre-engage second gear in advance, the second clutch engaging as soon as you flick up to slot instantly into second gear.从事第一及齿轮变速箱将预先进行第二轮提前第二离合器尽快搞你搏命最多槽瞬间变成第二轮. This means a seamless flow of power.这意味着无缝流通权. The electronics predict what gear you?re about to engage, depending on whether you?re accelerating or braking and the result is astonishing, making every other gearbox look distinctly clunky.电子齿轮预言你什么?约以重新接触取决于你?重新加速或刹车,结果令人吃惊,看尽变速箱等鲜明clunky. The other option is to slip it into ?D?另一种选择是成哥?丁? and drive it like a normal automatic.它像个正常自动驾驶. Even in this mode it?s butter smooth and makes other attempts at sequential manual systems such as Ferrari?s F1, BMW?s SMG and Alfa Romeo?s Selespeed appear distinctly clunky and yester-tech.即使在这种模式吗?收盘牛油顺利顺序手工制作其它尝试诸如法拉利?收盘杂交、宝马?收盘深圳市政府和蜜?收盘selespeed出现明显clunky、聚酯技.

Plus Audi?s range of engines and fitment of quattro all-wheel drive to their upspec models offers them a competitive edge.加上奥迪?收盘射程慑人车头引擎和全轮驱动的型号upspec提供他们的竞争力. Factor in the engineering genius ?工程天才因素? for there is no other word to describe it ?并无其他词来形容它? of the DSG gearbox and you have a car that justifies its own existence without recourse to badge equity.常务变速箱的汽车,以及你自身存在的理由而不诉诸徽章股权.
