Testing the Audi A3

Audi, a brand that never resonates with me. A brand that I dislike. It is a bit of a dark side to me. But I forced myself to think out of the box to not always shortlist the usual suspects. The main reason is both the new Honda Civic 1.5 turbo and Audi A3 sedan cost similar. Similarly, a used 3 year old Honda Civic 1.6 and a 3 year old Audi A3 sedan would cost similar too.

My father’s health How to grow my business and income What car to replace my current ride All this thoughts have been running through my mind, day and night. It is hard not to worry about my father’s health despite of my frustration with his self-destructive behaviour. There is also very little we can do. As for No.2, business is running well. Income is growing. However, as an entrepreneur I should always be on the lookout for newer opportunities.  Especially on sources of passive income. At the moment, I only earn when I work. There is little money coming in when I am not. It is not a good prospect if I am disrupted from my schedule. To be fair, I tend to run to No.3 as a form of refuge, as cars are a pe...
