Audi A3 Review Summary
"The rear seats are also comfortable, and there's a lot more head and leg room available than the tapered exterior would suggest. A six-foot-tall driver and a like-sized rear-seat passenger had room to spare."
"...fluid, elastic acceleration....Strikes a nice balance between performance and ride comfort."
"What makes the A3 notable is all the premium features poured into so taut a package."
"Inside, there's a plush look and feel, as well as hints of sportiness from the TT, with brushed-aluminum ringed air vents, HVAC knobs, and door-trim pieces."
What reviewers liked least about the Audi A3:
"Similar to other sport/luxury lifestyle wagons such as the Lexus IS 300 SportCross, cargo room is compromised for a sporty style."
"Complaints? We'd like the accelerator moved aft, even with the dead pedal, and the 2.0-liter sounds a bit like a diesel at low revs."
Audi A3 Comparisons:
"If more cargo space is required, the next logical step for a customer would be to move up to the A4 Avant."
"...the A3 is a better car than either the 318ti or C-Class coupe."
Best one-liners about the Audi A3:
"...has all the makings of a fantastic commuter car."
"...this might be the car to convince American buyers that "hatchback" and "luxury" are not mutually exclusive concepts."
"...the headlamps, which are slightly hooded, make the Sportback look like it's ready to pounce."
