2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Audi has highest German-made value retention. Buy a 1-year old certified pre-owned and save the 20% depreciation in the first year. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review |

Audi is well known for their engineering prowess, and that was a big plus for me. They may not be the best-knwon luxury make, but they are making a big push in the U.S. market for brand awareness. At the dealer, customer treatment is extraordinary! see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review |

The Audis are known have reliable engines (except maybe for 2.0TDI) and offer a very well balanced ride. Also the finishing, materials and styling in the interior are of high quality. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review |

Ok so Jeep and Fiat obviously do not have the best brand image when it comes to quality. This perception should not be applied to this vehicle. Nothing to me comes across as cheap or low quality. Just remember that you will be dealing with Jeep service department. I haven't heard the best about Jeep service, but every brand has good and bad dealerships. Just do your research before you get it serviced. see full Jeep Cherokee review |
