[a3rick]

Hi,
I'm considering buying a brand spanking new A3 1.8TFSI Sportback, Could anyone tell me what MPG they're getting as its gonna be a company car and I can claim 16p per mile.

Thanks

What sort driving will you be doing - mainly high speed motorway driving??

[a3rick]

it will mainly be A roads,towns and country roads, I currently have a Jetta 2.0 tdi and the computer says I'm getting approx 44 mpg

I would recommend if you can the 2.0T or what about the 1.4T - After all you could get a 2.0T standard or a 1.4T Sline and extras

can anyone help?

My A3 is a 2009 1.8 SE Sportback S-tronic, now with 9,000 miles on the clock. The on-board indications are:

• Long term average (since new) - 38.2 mpg
• 100 mile m-way trip - usually 45 mpg, have seen 49 mpg
• Mixed daily driving - about 34 mpg
• Around town in the freezing cold - about 28 mpg.

I haven't checked the accuracy of the on-board display so treat the numbers with caution, but I hope that gives you some idea.

Cheers, Kevin
