Hungering for a European sports sedan like an Audi A4, BMW 3 Series or Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but can’t quite justify the expense? If so, the 2008 Audi A3’s taut handling, sophisticated design and hatchback versatility, at a price lower than those worthy machines, could make this car a keeper.
For some reason American buyers have not traditionally warmed to vehicles with a utilitarian four-door hatchback configuration. And if you are the type who buys vehicles for sheer size and interior room, other models will better satisfy you for the price.
