2009 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
A lot less leg room when compared to the GTI, but the rear hatch space is bigger. see full Audi A3 review
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
Really just a 4 place vehicle...3 across in the rear is not comfortably possible. see full Audi A3 review
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
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
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

Due to the position of the doors it is hard to get in and out of the car. see full Audi A3 review
