Audi’s smallest car might be easy to overlook in a world of oversized SUVs and high-performance EVs but there’s still a lot to like about the A3, especially for those seeking something compact, efficient, and genuinely premium-feeling.<\/p>\n

Review: The Honda Civic Type R Nails Everything Except The One Thing It Shouldn’t Miss<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The A3<\/a> was first launched in 1996, and in 2020, it entered its fourth generation with a more modern and mature look. It has not been selling in the same numbers as the third-gen model, but it still serves an important role as the entry-level model in Audi’s range.<\/p>\n Last year it underwent a facelift, bringing with it a slightly more striking look and updated lights. Unfortunately, this update brought with it a significant price hike, meaning in Australia<\/a> the base Sportback model now starts at AU$54,800 (~$35,400), up AU$4,200 ($2,700) from last year, which itself was already quite a hefty chunk of change for a hatch of this size.<\/p>\n Up until recently, I’d never had a chance to drive the fourth-gen A3, but I recently spent a week living with the base A3 Sportback 35 TFSI S tronic, which proved to be an excellent daily. However, the price may be hard to justify for some.<\/p>\n SWIPE<\/span><\/p>\nQUICK FACTS<\/h5>\n
