[quote user="Sem"]I'll be going for the 140PS TDI, managed to have a test drive of one
today and I was really impressed, they are so much more refined than
the old 1.9 PD engine, almost sounded like a petrol. You could hear no
diesel clatter from within the cabin.[/quote]
Sem, I've got agree - the diesel is so much quieter than the old PD engines. Like I said earlier, the salesman started the engine to show me. What I forgot to mention was that it was the A3 cab and you could barely hear the engine (top up obviously!). The staff were moving a lot of the cars around too and a lot were CR diesels and even from cold were nice and quiet.
You've made me question myself regarding the meteor grey with those pics. It actually looks nice in the photos. Think I need to see it again, although I am quite liking the Monza silver....
Thanks for taking and posting those pics Sem - I've only come online to look for pics of the A3s in the new colours, especially Monza silver and Meteor Grey! [Y]
