About 'audi tdi a3'|Test Drive: 2011 Audi A3 TDI
In the ever expanding universe of "green" automobiles it appears that in the quest to save the planet we have utterly and totally lost our sense of style. Not to name names but there are just some alternative-energy vehicles out there who take their uniqueness as an excuse to be visually heinous. Not so in the case of the all new Audi A3 TDI diesel five-door hatchback, however. Handsomely styled inside and out with a decidedly European flavor, the A3 TDI is the green car of choice for the hipster fashionista. To verify its hipster/environmental cred just know that the A3 TDI was named the "Best Green Car" at the most recent (celebrity packed) Los Angeles International Auto Show. Starting at $27,270, the Audi A3 TDI is inexpensive considering how luxurious it is and how advanced the clean-diesel engine truly is. Audi is the only car manufacturer that has been able to pass the extremely rigorous California Air Resources Board Smog Standards without resorting to urea injection technology. Yes, if you are wondering urea is one of the active ingredients in urine. The A3 TDI gets by with particulate filters and traps only and this is important to remember as this means the Audi diesel engine will be less expensive to maintain than a vehicle with the urea injection technology. Not only does the urea usually have to be refilled every 15,000-30,000 miles but your car will literally stop once you run out. Imagine how embarrassing that would be to have to explain to your work that your car wouldn't start because it was out of pee. The 2010 Audi TDI comes only in front wheel drive form equipped with a lightning quick DSG double clutch automatic. The 2.0 liter turbocharged diesel motor puts out 140 horsepower and 236 pound feet of torque. While that horsepower figure may seem low remember that torque is actually what makes a vehicle "feel" fast and the A3 TDI feels plenty quick. Fuel economy ratings are 30 in the city and 42 miles per gallon on the highway. This means the A3 has a conceptual range of 600 miles. Can you say "road trip car?" While the A3 TDI has a reasonably low base price you can go crazy with the options and send it near onto $40,000. There are a few options, however, that really improve on the livability of the A3 TDI and that is important as diesel engines are capable of some pretty epic mileages without mechanical difficulty. So you may have this car a while. First off, if you want your A3 TDI to really look bad-ass you have to order the Titanium Appearance Package. This includes sport seats, sport suspension, titanium color alloy wheels on larger tires, tremdu piano black trim for the interior, black headliner and blacked out grille. If that is a bit too out there for your tastes be sure to order the "Convenience Package" with the updated Bose audio system and various goodies like automatic headlights and windshield washers. Among the nice to have but not essential options are in dash navigation (buy a Garmin instead), an "open sky" sunroof which gives the A3 TDI a uniquely airy feel and finally for the more formal German car buyer-burl walnut trim inlays to replace the aluminum metal that accents the dashboard and doors on standard models. But even if you just buy an A3 TDI with no options you are still left with a very spacious, efficient and utilitarian hatchback that is a hoot to drive. That is the beauty of the Audi A3 TDI-there are infinite ways to truly make this green, fuel efficient wonder a very personal style statement. |
