AUDI A3 SPORTBACK: SE 1.6 TDI

摘要

Spot the difference. The Sportback is now wearing summer tyres - Continental Premium Contact 205/55/16s on standard 16-inch rims, which seem to ride a touch more firmly, but are a bit quieter than the previous Dunlop winter tyres, which I would happily have run on all year were it not for the likely higher wear rate as the weather became warmer. Sad that they were not really tested by any tough winter weather, though. It's evident that the rolling resistance of the Continentals, even though they are not "economy" tyres, is rather better than that of the Dunlops, and the car rolls eagerly towards roundabouts when you lift off the gas as if it would coast for half a mile or more, which may explain some of the recent fuel economy improvements. These standard wheels are also a lot easier to wash too!
