I`d try to steer her away from an A3 to be honest.
They really are style over substance, I ran one for 20,000 miles and it was hardly a joy. In the 18 months I owned it I had two steering racks, a set of rear suspension bushes and a new ac compressor. I bought mine from new.
Servicing is expensive and dealers can be hit and miss.
Unless she really wants German I`d look at a 2.2 Civic to be honest.

My brother in law loves his A3 140, I quite like it, seems a bit dour on the inside and generally a bit bland but a solid and well built car, he hasnt had any issues but he doesnt do much mileage.

It`s not a bad car, I just think there are better ones out there, especially for A3 money.
