Attributes of prestige

By and large, the changes affected only the front of the car. In the first place - optics. Closed polikarbonom transparent "light gun" (otherwise you will not name ranked lenses) are ready at any moment to shoot a light stream, enhanced by 30%. For an additional fee you can get the A3 with a xenon gas discharge svetotehnikoy.Kstati, about the same optics are equipped with Audi A4, A6 and A8. So the pedigree, we can say nalitso.Dvizhuschuyusya on the wrong side of Audi A3 is not to be confused than not, except with the "older sisters." Like headlights fitted and A2, but in this case, it should not be taken into account - the design is too vydaetsya.Reshetka Radiator Audi A3 now, like the "eldest", is integral with the bumper. Low-set oval fog lights complete the logical kompozitsiyu.V profile A3 has not changed - still the same energetic wedge shape. Do not become wise in Ingolstadt and the stern, only the third door opening mechanism provided to the system Soft touch: touch of a button should open the trunk, like an electric lock is activated and the door open slightly. It remains slightly poddernut, and 330-liter trunk at your disposal. With the rear seats folded, its volume increases to 1100 litrov.V lounge - high-quality leather, soft to the touch plastic, the stylish colors of the upholstery of seats, friendly control climate control unit, an excellent radio, the sound of which can compete with a home stereo system, an abundance of various glove compartment, shelves, closing pockets plus a drawer under the front passenger seat. Cup holder emerges from the narrow slit at the top of the center console and expanded like a robot-transformer. Any unused space in the A3 is used to increase the comfort of the occupants. Sympathy for the car increases when you start to adjust to your figure seat and steering wheel. They know how to calculate the ergonomics of the Germans! Having done some manipulation of the seat and a couple of times, "Having estimated" under the steering wheel itself, to fully understand what the real anatomical posadka.Na rear seat comfort, of course, a little less, but there may be a good time on long journeys. Better, of course, alone, and not three. That's just their way back is difficult: progress in the front seat backrest tilted far too small. Only saves the wide doorway. However, this problem can be solved fundamentally: to buy a five-door A3 with kuzovom.Zavodim base 1.8-liter 125-hp engine. Incidentally, he fits into the emission standard EU 4. Turn of the key, the engine wakes up. Shiver runs through the cabin. Vibration alarming, but its write off the fact that the engine has not "warmed up". The assumption proved correct: the engine warmed up, they say, is not visible and not slyshno.Nasha A3 equipped with an automatic four-speed gearbox. Perhaps with the gearbox, the car would show more fighting qualities, but also that we were shown were quite happy. Transmission on Adaptive A3, it adapts to driving style. Like stomp the gas pedal - Topchiy: transmission will be switched only when the engine speed limit, which will provide sporting dynamics. Want to relax? A minute later the box will go into quiet mode, and you no longer hear the howls of sports motora.Bolee addition, the ACP differentiates various driving situations (highway, primer, or a winding road is rough, steep ascent or descent) and adapts to them. And will always maintain the highest possible at the moment fuel economy. We unfortunately could not test the box in all modes - on the road was still snow. But even in this situation, the CP showed his intellectual ability, change gear as soon as possible to prevent slipping forward koles.Ne once rescued us, and four-channel ABS. When braking on the bare ice of its peaceful pohryukivanie not annoyed, but rather reassuring. Out of curiosity, we had an impromptu contest titled "Do not let work ABS», and you know - worked. All brake discs on the machine, to the same braking force control device is replaced by electronic distribution (EBV), which with the help of ABS sensors optimally use the potential inhibition of the back osi.Horoshey handling A3 owes pretty tough, "osportivlennoy" suspension. With its elasticity, it provides quite tolerable conditions of travel, even on bumpy road. Evaluate how informative the wheel when the wheels groomed to perfection ice, is difficult. But even in such circumstances, the steered wheels 'caught' easily enough. Not interfere with this and power steering - a measure of supple, it offers exceptional stability during straight driving. On the highway A3 uses about 7 liters of fuel. In the urban mode - almost twice as much. It seems to us, if not stomp the gas pedal in order to achieve the cherished 100 km / h in 11.3 seconds, fuel consumption can be reduced significantly. Tranquil ride on A3 also include enough priyatna.V of passive safety - the front two eyrbega, two side and two curtain. In the event of a side collision impact the whole take over the high-beams in the doors and powerful medium stoyki.A3 originally designed as an exclusive model. Maybe that's why it was, is and will probably be the most expensive in the golf class. Today in the base-date Audi A3 costs $ 18,000. Expensive. But how much individuality, functionality and prestige!
