When appeared the previous generation of this khetchbeka of golf- class many they was puzzled - why company from Ingol'dshtata golf- class? However, "three rubles" not only became popular, but also it gained monasteries almost the thning- most suitable European automobile in the class. "pocket rockets" with four rings cut and cut both the European roads and Russian. But already version S3, equipped with complete drive and which passed preparation in department Quattro, not at all had rivals. Although it cost expensively.

Design new AE belongs to Walter de sil'vy's feather. Undoubtedly, automobile began to appear much more aggressive, without having lost in this case a certain conservatism. Because of I will squint front headlights and radiator lattice in the new style Audi automobile appears very sport. Almost sleeping compartment. Associations with the sleeping compartment it adds and the waist line, which is risen to the tail end of the body, and short overhangs with the long wheel base. Very "sinewy" appearance! However, if we look "full face", then without fail they appear a certain elusive sensation, that the Germans drew inspiration in Alfa Romeo 147. Ah, yes, indeed de sil'va passed to Audi from this Italian company, and precisely to it belongs design 147, and 156.

Salon only strengthens the sensation of the fact that you are located in the sport automobile. By fault to that - the details of interior, borrowed in Audi TT. round deflectors, the unit of control of climate- control, "stretching" below central console. Perhaps, "sweet" vsalone itself - these are the sport seats, which are established on A3 for the additional payment. In Price of them so name - "sport seats from kombinirovannoy from al'kantry and skin an upholstering". Is worth in them sitting down as it occurs that they very tightly cover body, to dispose them, in spite of the absence of electro-adjustments it is possible very rapidly, and in the road they they ensure luxurious (another word simply not to select) level of comfort. In any turning the seat reliably retains body, but in also the time it not superfluously rigid, as frequently it is in the sport automobiles. Two things were not pleased in the salon - small of bardachok (small space of which moreover ate C 972 D -ce1ndjer) is not shut to the lock. Furthermore, to govern climate- control is not very convenient - in order to increase or to lower temperature it is necessary to rock knobs left-right. Why it is simple not to make the revolving knob? Indeed in TT climate- control, perhaps, is not so important as in AE...

After being arranged in the armchair of driver and after removing machine from the "bench-hammer" by elegant Z- descriptive lever we begin motion. Stop! Zaglokhli. Occurs in AE very dlinnokhodnaya clutch pedal and furthermore grips the cohesion in the very to bottom. And this with the fact that the pedal of gas is outdoor, in addition as in "athletes". Disharmony... We push up seat nearer to the control. They went! In the motion, first of all, strikes the lever of gearbox - that clearness, short motions and noble "klats", with which are switched the transfers, simply cast a spell. To require sportiveness from 102- strong engine is absurd, however, untwisting transfers to the limiter it is possible to hear beautiful and purely the grumbling of engine, after representing that you be situated in the version with the more high-powered engine.

Audi A3 - hundred per-cent "of driver- penalties". Even 110- percent. by "fault" to that control. Now and then is created impression, which previously feels automobile, that wants to make the driver. Everything occurs at the level of instincts, clearly it is predicted. Control "does not fall through", very in time and being smoothly filled by effort. In the "high-speed" turnings short khetchbek attempts to straighten trajectory, and for the discharge of gas it returns to the previous trajectory. To poshalit' makes it possible the disconnected stabilization system ESP - then, if we at the high speed reduce speed, by AE it is fixed into the very smooth and controlled drift. In this case the suspension is a little harsh, which, true, strengthens the impression of sportivnosti. The body and cbf the passengers of "three rubles" shakes on the unevennesses, but at the high speed automobile is not attempted to be detached away from the road on the hummock.

From behind, because of the large wheel base, completely comfortably can be placed two people. It is interesting that also the baggage carrier in AE is not the smallest, if not the largest among the competitors - 350 liters. If we accumulate the rear seats, then its volume will grow to 1.100 liters. What the even practical can be found in this automobile? Perhaps, that its engine can work on the 92nd gasoline...

Thus, the base price Audi A3 with the 1,6- liter gasoline engine composes 20.317 Euro-. In the complete set: mechanical 5- stepped box, climate- control, the podogrevayemye seats, the sprayer of steklomyvatelya with the preheating, electros-glass-hoist, mirror with the electric drive, four pillows of safety. The testiruyemaya by us version will manage already in 25.693 Euro-. Here is signaling, the separate preheating of seats, the record player of CDS, D -ce1ndjer, sport seats, glass-holder into the panel of instruments, the decorative inserts from the tree, the elbow-rest with the capacity, parktronik, protivotumanki and omyvatel' of headlights.

P.S. apropos of competitors. On the auto-salon in Saint Petersburg Volkswagen showed the fifth generation Volkswagen Golf. Five-door version with the 2- liter turbodizelem, mechanical gearbox, the assembly "Sport" and by auxiliary equipment was proposed for 31 thousand Euro-. Volkswagen is more expensive than Audi? Here to you and competitor...
