            Luxury

            Best car worth buying overall the best in the market the ride was pretty smooth I could not feel any rollover during curves and the handling was the best it is a mix of luxury and sport.

            Buy only if you do not know what to do with black money

            <p>Bought an Audi A3 - 2.0 TDI Attraction from Audi Bhopal 4 months back.</p> <p>While the price on road was quoted as 28.5 lakhs in websites I was shown a paper in showroom stating that it costs 30 lakhs. Not knowing that I have to bargain like in a fish market I asked for a discount &amp; was told that I will be given a 1 lakh discount plus additional 50,000 less for doctor's. But only after buying did I know that the showroom was selling it for around 24 - 25 lakhs only.</p> <p>The sales executive hardly knew anything about the specifications of the car &amp; while I insisted that I want Michelin tyres he said he will try for it but promised me that the car will come with either Michelin, Bridgestone or Continental tyres but was delivered with Dunlop tyres which gets punctured or in fact gets torn in every pothole. After a lot of struggle with them changed it to Continental Premium Contact 5 but this also gets torn with stones &amp; potholes frequently.</p> <p>To change the torn tyres I have to take it to Indore 200 kms from Bhopal &amp; stay there overnight since the company executive is only interested in closing down the shop sharp at 7:30 PM while the technician who has to change it is not available for the second half of the working monday. And they say in Audi authorised service centre that they have no facilities to repair the puncture but will have to change the tyre only. With all this excellent so called service I would be charged Rs. 19470 for 1 tyre while it costs only Rs. 8500 outside. In fact I changed both front tyres to Michelin for Rs. 9,600 each plus Rs. 400 for wheel balancing while the Audi service centre charges Rs. 5,800 for wheel balancing alone. I failed to understand the logic or maths involved in those calculations.</p> <p><strong>Exterior</strong>&nbsp;A smaller version of any other Audi sedan but with out projector or LED lights.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong>&nbsp;Rear seat space is really cramped. No rear A/C vent or boot access with hand rest/ cup holder assembly which along with so many other features was (false) promised by the executive as available in Attraction model while we test drived the premium model. Only black interiors available in Attraction with no leather seats. Automatic adjustable seats only for driver. Can't blame the company since I foolishly paid 28.5 lakhs for a 24 lakh car.</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong>&nbsp;With almost the same engine as Jetta or Octavia, A3 is quicker because it is smaller &amp; lighter with partially Aluminium based body.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong>&nbsp;Suspensions are not very soft - not gas filled for a car of this price while my Chevrolet Aveo had gas filled shocks for 7.1 lakhs on road. Bumpy ride with fair ground clearance for this segment.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong>&nbsp;Strictly only for people with black money who can throw money into dust bin - let it be for purchasing or service. Please do not think about it if your money is hard earned.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;With this greedy mindset Audi India has nothing to improve except their mindset. They should close down their operations in India &amp; do some illegal smuggling business so as to earn more money &amp; satisty their money hunger.</p>Driving comfort, Power, Music systemGreedy company, horrible service, need to bargain for price like in fish market.
