Hi ormesome,ormesome said:Hey Gordz,
Iv had an A3 with manual gearbox and Q2 now with S-tronic. No way would I EVER go back to a manual, It makes driving was more relaxing but engaging with the flappy paddles too. Only you can know though, test drive both versions and see.
Personally would not go with the 1.5 engine as there have numerous problem with it. google it and the whole VAG range has had problems with it. Apparently a software update has fixed it but I wouldn't trust it unless you can be 100% sure.
Good luck & if you have any other questions about trim etc then fire away.
PS: Get the tech pack with VC! you won't regret it!!

Thanks for your input, never had an auto so a bit doubtful about them, but like you say will try out both. What engine have you got?
