Editor's Overview
The 2017 Audi A3 Sedan, Cabriolet and Sportback models have the unenviable job of squeezing what makes an Audi an Audi into an entry-level vehicle. Sporty and welcoming with a willingness to run, the A3 is a joy to drive, the Sportback e-tron plug-in hybrid hatchback is the line's new fuel-economy leader, and the 292-horsepower S3 with standard quattro all-wheel drive heightens both handling and acceleration.

Owner Reviews
The hexagonal front grille, sharper headlights and slightly adjusted front.
As a modified model, the new Audi a3 is bound to make some changes in its design to meet the aesthetics of consumers at the present stage. As for what kind of design method, I believe that we all know - sets. Yes, it would be nice to give the latest Audi family style a new model that is safe, simple and aesthetically pleasing the new a3 offers up to 12 body colors for consumers to choose from, and the xingrui yellow and kanas green are unique in china. In addition, the s line suite is provided for some models of configuration, which is not available in the domestic a3 of cash, and only available in the import the hexagonal front intake grille, sharper headlights and slightly adjusted front bumpers make the new model instantly young and stylish, and the front face overall visual effect is more spiritual than the older model, and more similar to the a4l. Configured, the new a3 will also offer led Matrix headlights with great visual effects. Ed a3,
It is a comfortable and cool car.
It is a nice car. Not very big so it is easy to park and go around with. It is a European brand so it is nice and comfortable. Plus the quality is very good and you get to choose from many different colors so it is cool. In addition you also get to have a lot of space in the back, even if it is a quite small car. It is a good car for young people so it is nice to have it as a first or second car. It is a nice car but it is good if you are a discreet person because it does not stand out that much.
Best car I have own, looking into another one.
Used to have issues with the volume in the beginning, sometimes I’d turn the car on and no sound would come off. I am able to drive for a good distance on gas and the drive is very comfortable and steady. Would probably want electronic seat adjustments on the passenger seat but overall would buy another sometime soon.
