The 2009 Audi A3 is an awesome four-door hatchback that offers luxury and style at a great price. It is Audi's least expensive car and it is a great buy for anyone interested in attaining a great entry level luxury car. The Audi A3 exterior is sleek and sporty looking and the interior features quality and class to match. The car's "not to big-not to small" is perfect for maneuvering through busy traffic. The 2009 Audi A3 exhibits great power with the 2.0 turbo and the dual clutch transmission is a definite plus. The Audi A3 comes with the appropriate standards for safety with its front-seat side airbags, antilock brakes, and full length side curtain airbags. The inside of the Audi A3 features leather upholstery, bluetooth phone connectivity, satellite radio and a sunroof. Some of the other popular inside features include the auxiliary audio jack, sd card slots, and 6-cd changer. Although there are plenty of good things to say about the 2009 Audi A3, there are also some flaws. The backseat doesn't have a lot of legroom, which can be a nuisance not only for tall passengers, but for front seat passengers trying to move their seat up to make more room in the back. The navigation system could be improved. The design is a little simple. It isn't touch screen and the buttons used to navigate through it are located on the right side of the navigation screen. Reaching that far to navigate can be frustrating especially for short drivers. Fortunately those are the only cons, I noticed. I definitely would recommend this car for anyone looking for a sporty, hatchback, luxury car at an awesome price.

Comments:

If you are looking for great value for your money then the 2008 Audi A3 is the perfect car for you. The Audi A3 is a luxury compact car with enjoyable features and a good amount of power to it. The Audi A3 makes up for being limited to front wheel drive with its 2 liter turbo four cylinder engine which can boast 200 horsepower and over 200 pounds of torque. With this much power behind it, the Audi A3 can make 60 mph in 7 seconds flat. Its fuel economy is not bad either with 22 mpg city and 29 mph highway. So where does the Audi A3 suffer? Its exterior is not the prettiest in the world and its design leaves much to be desired. With the way it is designed it looks a bit squished and a bit long for a luxury car. In addition to that the interior leaves a lot to be desired as it lacks legroom for its passengers. The Audi A3 is probably not a car worth suggesting to your friends. With plenty of power but some critical style drawbacks and lacking interior comfort, the A3 is a good car that would have benefited from just a bit more research and development.
