Audi offer a quality car in the A3. It’s made to high standard, performs and handles well. Ideal for leasing as it keeps its resale value. However, it’s a little on the expensive side compared to it competitors.
Prices start at £16,0000 and at the top of the range you can pay as much as £30,000. The entry range models do have a lack of kit compared to competitors. There is also the huge price difference. The Golf is nearly £1000 lower than the A3 and its basic models offer a little more kit.
Engines choices start at a 1.6 petrol engine that generates 101hp. For the deranged there’s an 261hp 2.0 ltr at the other end of the spectrum. In the diesel category we have 3 choices: A 1.6 and two 2.0ltr. all three come with start stop function.
MPG-o-MATIC: Some diesel engine options offer good fuel performance.
In handling and ride terms the A3 performs well. It offers a firm ride right from the entry level option. I holds its speed well through corners although the steering is a little light. It all lends towards an entertaining drive.
The car comes with all round airbags; twin front driver and passenger, curtain and side airbags. The A3 comes with Deadlocks, an alarm and central locking to improve security.
The standard model comes with a cd player, air conditioning, electric windows and alloy wheels. There is a sports option which adds a different suspension pack, sports style seats, climate control, mp3 input socket and a multifunction steering wheel. This line also features some other cosmetics tweaks too, including Larger alloy wheels, leather upholstery and a muscular body kit. Four wheel drive and xenon headlights are also available on some models.
If your tall you won’t want to be in the back on any long journeys. In the front some taller people will find their leg catches on the centre console. However, the front seats are spacious and in addition, the front seats are adjustable and offer an opportunity get comfortable. The boot is shaped well and offers plenty of room for the size of the car. The 5 door model offers further boot space and a little more room in the rear.
