If you enjoy the comfort and composure typical of a European sport sedan, but also demand some degree of versatility, the A3 is hard to fault. And while VW’s GTI rides on the same platform – and has a similar level of detailing inside – the Audi delivers a level of maturity its corporate sibling can’t match.
Although its under-$30,000 base price might be seductive, Audi’s pricing structure can quickly elevate the A3 into the mid-$30s. In short, shopping the A3 isn’t for the financially faint of heart. And if you’re one of the millions genetically averse to the concept of owning a hatchback, you’re probably no longer reading this, anyway.
