Golf mk6 GT140 v A3 Black edition (in silver) 140

I'd assume the Audi would have a residual value when you come to trade it in.

IMO the Audi interior quality is better than the Golf.

Hi All

Currently got an a4 2.0tdi s-line 2008 plate on contract hire. its going back in August and i am in the same dilemma as we have another child on the way so my wife will take my next car as she has a 58 a4 s-line spec edition cabriolet which wont be practical for 2 kids whilst she is on maternity.

I have been looking also at the golf gt tdi 140 vs a3 sportback black edition and i am going for the Audi too. The Golf, whislt a mk6 just looks too common and a bit bloated. The black edition with all the nice extras will be a better car.

Any opinions welcome, not trying to hijack this thread.

I'd say the Audi. Problem with the MK6 GT is that it doesn't look all that special over the standard Golfs unlike the MK5 model which did.

I would say a GTD is closer to the Black Edition but not sure how much these cost.

The flat bottom steering wheel and xenons on the Black Edition would swing it for me to get the A3.

I went for the Golf. The a3 was just a little bit too aggressive for me and I didn't want to stand out too much in my clients car parks.
