Is it worth buying? Does it have a chronic problem? I'm thinking of buying it for my mother. Mostly city use.

Translated from TurkishMate, same combination as the Golf. The fuel consumption seemed high to me relative to its performance.
Translated from TurkishIt'll do a max of 10,000 km a year. It won't be used during rush-hour commuting in the city, i.e. it has no business in heavy traffic. For daily routine use.
Translated from TurkishI'd look at different options. I can't say it won't die out right away.
Translated from TurkishIf your mother wants the Audi for the brand, then get it. As a car, I think the A3 is a nice one.
Translated from TurkishGet it if you'll use it in the city, but it doesn't take being pushed hard — it screams. On the highway, it drinks fuel like you're driving a 5000cc car.
Translated from TurkishThe 1.6 TDI engine makes more sense than the 1.0. The A3 is a nice car — I had the sedan version.
Translated from TurkishI've always stayed away from 1.0-liter cars, and I always will 😄
Translated from TurkishIt's worth getting — aside from the DSG, it's a car you can drive with peace of mind. It fits the user profile you described.
