2009 Audi A3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
