The Appeal
A quality, stylish modern convertible you can enjoy whatever the weather? That’ll be the A3, especially one like this equipped with a potent 195bhp engine and versatile DSG gearbox.
Finished in popular black with a high specification interior - including leather and Alcantara seats with heating - this is a facelift model that has been sparingly used and well maintained example of these sought-after cars. It was in the hands of one family to late 2023 and the history file attests to their care and attention.
A recent engine and gearbox service plus work to the brakes and a set of new tyres means this tidy A3 comes to market ready to use and enjoy. A long MOT to May 2025 further underlines the impression of quality.
