The talk surrounding the motor industry at the moment seems to all be focused on cutting costs. We’ve been inundated with a stream of advanced fuel efficient new models and presented with the opportunity of trading up to a new car at a discount via the scrappage scheme.


For many people, however, buying a new car of any description won’t seem like a good way of cutting costs. If that’s the case, you might consider taking steps to maximise the lifespan, condition and value of the car you’ve

already got. O u r Car Clinic features a variety of local companies who are perfectly placed to help motorists do just that.


Good vehicle maintenance of all kinds is an often overlooked way of reducing the overall cost of motoring. By looking after your vehicle properly, you’re protecting the investment you’ve made in it, ensuring you get the best service out of it and enhancing its value when you eventually do come to sell it on.


The local area boasts a great range of companies expert in giving vehicles the best possible care from valeters, to parts and accessory suppliers to service centres, garages and M O T stations. For further details on how they can cut your motoring costs just take a look at their ads.

ride is one of them. Adaptive action shock absorbers filled with a magneto rheological fluid allow the driver to choose between a comfort-oriented normal mode and a tauter sport mode at the touch of a but­ ton. An option on 1.8


box is also a glimpse of the future. This twin-clutch sequen­ tial gearbox can be fitted to the 2.0 TFSI and 2.0 TDI models in six speed form, where the 1.6, 1.4 TFSI and 1.8 TFSI petrol engines get the option of a - seven-speed system. This system can mimic a full auto­ matic gearbox or the driver can blitz through gearchanges at lightning speed using shift paddles mounted behind the steering wheel. The 2.0-litre 140bhp diesel offers the sort of performance you’d expect from Audi. It hits 60mph in 9.2 seconds and tops 130mph. The A3 has always


been a great small car that feels like the concentrated good-

been tweaked but not in such a radical way that it put the kibosh on the resid­ ual value of the pre­ vious model. The front wings and the grille are a little shapelier, the head­ lights are sharper­ looking and the side repeaters are now incorporated into the door mirrors. Choose an S line variant and there are LED day­ time running lights that ape the R8. The changes to the three- door car add 2.5cm to its length, while the five-door Sport-


also come in for some treatment. Believe it or not, but the previ­ ous A3 was just starting to look a lit­ tle off the pace in this department. Even far more mun­ dane cars like the Vauxhall Astra and the Fiat Bravo were beginning to show Audi the way for­ ward in terms of materials quality. The latest A3 ups the ante with more alu­ minium design ele­ ments, revised


switchgear, a better quality instrument cluster and a rethink for the upholstery choices. Quattro four wheel drive is of course offered on cer­ tain variants. The luggage com­


partment of the three-door car fea­ tures 350/1,080 litres of fresh air with rear seats in place and then folded, just pipped by the 370/1,220 litres of the Sportback. The A3 range has

to figme out whether you want to stick with a manual gear­ box and clutch pedal or upgrade to the too-cool-for-school S tronic transmission. You’re not finished yet. Quattro four- wheel drive or front- wheel drive? Specify­ ing an A3 is almost like ordering a cheese and ham roll in a New York deli. At a nominal extra


cost, model-for- model, it’s probably worth seriously con­ sidering the Sport­ back option, even if you don’t really need the extra doors. Many A3 buyers upgrade their cars to Sport and S line


specifications, trim levels tweaked by the UK importers to include an upgraded sports suspension kit with modified spring and damper settings designed to improve ride comfort without compromising on agility. For around £1,500


over the cost of a Sport-trimmed model, the S line variants include full leather trim, 18-inch alloy wheels, S line badging, a more aggressive front and rear bumper design and a roof spoiler. The range-topping


265bhp S3 model is now available as a Sportback model as well as a three-door. The A3 range fea­


tures a number of extremely fuel effi­ cient engines. The 1.6-litre TDI will average over 68mpg and even the sporty 197bhp2.0 TFSI powerplant will eke around 35 miles from a gallon.
