2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

Really just a 4 place vehicle...3 across in the rear is not comfortably possible. see full Audi A3 review

Slightly too close to each other in arm room. see full Audi A3 review
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
Due to the position of the doors it is hard to get in and out of the car. see full Audi A3 review
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
The back seat is too small for most adults. I hadn't thought about it much when I bought the car, but it became apparent. I'd take friends to lunch and they are uncomfortable.Even ifa personplans on sitting small children in the back, they grow and the useful life of the car is affected. I wish the Europeans would figure that out. see full Audi A3 review
2006 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD
The Subaru has a more comfortable and roomy back seat, with easier ingress/egress. see full Audi A3 review
