2013 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Love the engine hate the transmission. TDI feels much stronger than the 140hp indicates. The transmission is ok while accelerating. However, while slowing it insists on massive engine braking. This results in a very jerky ride in traffic. On occasion, it will buck as well. I've had the "values" reset several times. Car will be nice and smooth for maybe a week then back to it's jerky ways. see full Audi A3 review |
