Audi A3 review

The Audi A3 is a lovely premium hatch that deserves the plaudits. No, it’s not the most exciting thing in the universe, but it works on almost every level. A bit on the pricey side compared to similar VW offerings though.

Audi A3 Comfort
Lovely isolation makes the Audi A3 a great motorway cruiser, but there’s not much space in the back for passengers. Also avoid the optional S-Line suspension and big wheels if you value your spine – they re-define the term ‘hard’.

Audi A3 Performance
Four petrols and two diesels eninas equiped the audi a3, including the 1.4-litre TFSI turbo-and-supercharged unit. Best compromises are the Golf GTI-engined (197bhp) 2.0-litre TFSI that hits 0-62mph in just over seven seconds or the higher-powered diesel models like the 2.0-litre TDI with 170bhp.
