One of the best in segment !!!!

After purchasing the car, I took a family road trip from Raipur to Kolkata. We left at 4:30 a.m. and arrived at 7 p.m. I drove 850kms without full halting, which was a lot of fun; the only downside was that the trip was over. I’ve attached a screenshot of my travel information. This car is a beast, and it’s worth every penny.

Audi a3

I used this car since years. This car is very comfortable and luxurious. But the service cost is very high. This was the problem only. Otherwise, the car was very good. The car looks sporty and luxurious.

Volkwagen Tiguan: 2021 CarWale Off-Road Day

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray16 Mar 2022

Can the Tiguan still muster its SUV credentials and come out on top as Godspeed did? Only one way to find out.

2017 Audi A3 35 TDI First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali24 Feb 2017

Premium compact sedans were unheard of when Audi India brought along the A3 in mid-2014. Sharing market space with a few luxury hatchbacks at the time, the A3 ticked most of the right boxes for first-time premium car buyers and came with a good mix of luxury and performance. Fast-forward three years and this segment has expanded somewhat, allowing Audi India to burst on to the scene again with the updated 2017 A3.
