Used Audi vs. new Mazda

[derp90]

New Mazda3 2.0l or used Audi A3 Sportback 35TFSI with around 10k on the clock? They're both exactly the same price. Which do you choose?

I dont even like Audi but i would go Ze'German in this case. Naturally aspirated engines really suck once you get used to forced induction.

 

[I.am.Sam]

audi will cost lots more if it breaks but i assume that it has some sort of plan

 

[Y'all Qaeda]

That Audi should still be under maintenance? So it really shouldn't matter that it has 10k on the clock.

 

[PsYTraNc3]

Audi if it still has an active freeway plan and then extend it.

Yeah, would have the balance of the plan, but that's a good consideration.

Mazda has the BOSE system and the best car colours, but Audi's infotainment seems nicer.

Mazda make good cars, I would go with the Mazda

What optional extras the A3 comes with?

What optional extras the A3 comes with?

Oh yes this is important. It would suck if it came with halogens.

Confusing from the listings, but has the LED headlamps upgrade at least

Pay off your bond first

Pay off your bond first

Nobody got time for that

Does it have an upgraded info screen?

 

[epah]

Why would anyone do that. This is not smart advice unless you drive around in your house.

 

[derp90]

Does it have an upgraded info screen?

Can you tell from pics?

 

[epah]

Can you tell from pics?

Yeah, Or from the options listed in the description, some options will only come with an upgraded infotainment only.

The Audi. It's a very nice place to be. At 10k kms one would assume it's very newish, so should have loads of MP. Look after it and it will trade in better than Mazda down the line

It will be more fun too. The mazda is also an acquired taste, Some really love the look and some really hate it.

I'm obsessed with the Mazda's look, and the interior is amazing. I love the Audi's interior too, and it looks good from the outside (nothing special though, but it's a good look that will still look good years on).

Mazda comes with everything, blind spot monitor, full bose audio, rear camera and park distance, many safety features, etc.

But, the Audi's infotainment seems really nice. It's a bit of a gamble with the features on the Audis as there are so many options possible.

I was set on the Mazda, but I realised that it's possible to get a newish A3 for a similar price.

Both decent safe options
