Newbie here - have company car choice between an Audi A3 Sportback 140 2.0Tdi SE or a Volkswagen Golf 2.0 Tdi 140 SE.

Thing is, I play in a band in my spare time and need a bit of extra boot space for amps and speakers from time to time. I've heard that the Golf's back seats don't fold flat so I guess that could be a problem.

I haven't test driven either - I suspect both are nice to drive.

My only other option is the Skoda Octavia 1.9 tdi 'Elegance' estate but I'm not sure I can bring myself.....I know, that sounds snobby! The lease company can't offer me a Golf estate until the new model is out early in 2010, but mine is due for a change in September.

What do you all think? :confused:

Welcome - I will have to say the A3 Sportback.

Thanks for your reply!

Does the A3's boot fold flat or is it like the Golf's? I really don't understand why a car designer would want to design a hatchback that doesn't allow the floor to lie flat! I can only guess that it's to keep down the cost?
