Audi A3 8V 1.0 TFSI (115 Hp) Hatchback 18,000 km

Problem: Brake Caliper

The car has a problem with the brake caliper. Despite good noise insulation, assembly, interior, practicality, style, light clutch, powerful brakes, enjoyable driving, dynamism, and a very good small engine, there are some vibrations at idle and some stiff gear changes.

Pros: Noise insulation, Assembly, Interior, Practicality, Classy, Light clutch, Powerful brakes, Pleasant to drive, Dynamic, Very, very good small engine
Cons: Some vibration at idle, Some stiff gear shifts
