Originally the smallest Audi (since models got redesign) the Audi A3 is a hatchback as well as a starter luxary small car for familys and younger drivers originally released to a uk car buying audience in 1996. The car was the smallest of the Audi's before the Audi A2 came along and stole that title. Despite its small appearance the car is packed with audi-goodness and features all the usual audi luxary's and possibilities with a fully comprehensive features list.
Originally based on the VW A Platform, a basis for which a number of cars are produced (vw golf, audi tt, vw caddy, vw touran skoda octavia, seat leon), used audi A3's are available with a whole host of different additions, features and engines - ranging from a small yet effective 1.6 petrol engine all the way through the usual fuel-efficient tdi engines up to a blistering v6 3.2 litre petrol - Quite the selection for a small, innocent looking audi..
