Logically that makes perfect sense...except...
My father has a brand new A3 1.5 TFSI...
And, the current A3 is very highly specc’ed. If we ordered another, even with a cheaper drive train, not having all the things we currently have would seem like a backwards step... so a £20k A3 soon become a near £30k A3,which is not VFM. It’s sort of how we ended up with the e-tron in the first place. But today thee are fewer ex demonstrators, and they’re much lower pec and higher price than 2 years ago!
On the supermini front, the new Ibiza is probably large enough... it’s available in a similar, if not higher, spec than our A3 with a DSG box and the 115PS engine for £17.5k after discount...
