With a base price starting around $33,000, it’s easy to load up a 2018 Audi A3 Sedan or Cabriolet convertible with familiar Audi luxury features and still walk away for less than $40K. The sport-oriented S3 and RS 3 offer sizzling performance, but at a hefty price.
The 2018 Audi A3 doesn’t have the same visual pop as a Mercedes-Benz CLA or an Infiniti QX30, and you’ll find a better price and more legroom in an Acura ILX. Although its base price is attractive, once you start piling on options, the A3/S3 can easily approach the $50,000 mark.
