Audi has start stop, lower band C tax bracket, xenons but looks a little dated and is replaced early 2011. Golf has rear reversing camera and looks more up to date. I just can't decide

Any ideas?

Prefer the Golf.

very tough i prefer the Audi alloys and LED lighting but I like the Golfs up to date look more, its very tough but for me I would go for the black edition A3 those lights and alloys are to good.

The Golf if it's got to be a 5 door - the A3 looks far better as a 3 door, it's always looked almost as if the 5 door option was an afterthought in all variants of the A3....

The Golf has a higher kit level than the Audi for less money - As a company car choice, the Golf would be cheaper - as a private car, the Golf has more kit to live with. The Audi, well, it's just more expensive. It's an easy choice.

Now, if the Octavia VRS was an option, that would make it harder

Hi,

just to check - that pic of the Golf is not the actual one you are considering is it?
I only ask as it does not match the written description - so presume just an example? [Does not have the RCD510, the 2 -zone or the winter pack].

Cheers, Dunc.

BTW - that's a good price for a GT. I have one; and am very pleased with it. My mate has an A3 with same engine - and I genuinely wouldn't swap personally.

IGNORE THIS - just noted you didn;t post the pics!

Golf for me, i think a new A3 is out later this year or early 2011, so i wouldnt want old model

As you've posted in a Golf sub-forum the answer is predictable...

But even allowing for any bias, still the Golf. Mostly because the Audi gets replaced pretty soon.

Your price for the Golf is about a 11.5% discount so i'd be surpried that you can't get the Audi down by the same percentage or more. Without knowing the RRP of the Audi i guess you currently have similar discount?

The spec between the 2 is odd - you've no phone connection on the Audi, wheras you're paying extra on the Golf for it ?

Whilst the Audi might be getting on a bit, i prefer the looks of it over the Golf - i personally don't think the Golf looks the money, whilst the Audi does. Personal opinion.

Bet you didn't expect too many votes for the Audi on this forum !!
