2.0-litre versus 1.8-litre A3 TFSI
Considering nearly new petrol auto A3 Sport cabriolet. Test drove a 1.8 TFSI which was excellent but wrong spec, I am fussy when it comes to spec and colour.
I note that mostly 2.0 TFSI examples are for sale. There is little difference in insurance/tax, but Audi claim 4 MPG difference in favour of 1.8. How real is that? Should I wait for a 1.8?

I actually doubt that in real life there is much between them. I only got about 29mpg from a Skoda Yeti fitted with the 1.8TSI 160 - perhaps because it was so much fun.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
