Fun and 50 mpg - 1.9TDEi A3 diesel
Audi A3 1.9 TDEi Diesel
Quote:
The car? Audi's new A3 1.9 TDIe, developed to meet the proposed 2012 EU CO2 emissions target of 120 grams/kilometer - roughly equivalent to 52mpg on the highway here in the US - and escape London's $16/day congestion charge.
With just 103hp, 1.9 TDIe is the least powerful of the three turbodiesel fours offered in the A3 (the others, both 2.0-liter versions, have 138hp and 167hp). On paper, the A3 1.9 TDIe's performance is modest, with a top speed of just 116mph, with the 0-60mph sprint taking about 11.5sec. But on the road, the little Audi is a delight to drive; a much more entertaining and rewarding econocar than the antiseptic Prius.
