Used Audi A3 for Sale near Alberta
The Audi A3 combines European driving refinement with a host of standard features and a practical hatchback layout.
The luxury market is getting smaller. No, the actual sales volume is not decreasing; rather, entry-level vehicles in the segment are becoming physically smaller in size. This allows luxury automakers to target new shoppers who would previously have waited until they entered the next tax bracket to walk into a showroom.
A prime example of this new subcompact luxury segment is the 2006 Audi A3. Previously exclusive to Europe, the A3 joins Audi’s North American lineup, providing a high-quality interior and refined, athletic driving characteristics but with the practicality of a compact hatchback layout. The A3 shares a platform with the Volkswagen Golf hatchback and seats five passengers.
4.7 Overall rating
(48 reviews)Performance-- 3.2L Quattro gets me there in ANY weather, passing the big Ford 350s as they slip slide in the rain or snow. Breaking... I need to test this out more. Handles like a katana in the hands of an angry master ninja. Mileage--my wife gets 24-26 mpg...i get around 17 the way I drive it. Appearance...Beautiful in any light, great commuter car amid the plain jane trucks and Korean wanna-be european knock-off look-a-like cars. Audi bumper to bumper warranty is beautiful peace of mind.
The DSG gearbox is fantastic. I love my padde shifters. I got the Sport package and so benefit greatly as far as handling goes, from good wheels and racing suspension. Get this car - although it's on the high end of pricing, I recommend it completely.
My favorite part about this car is the quick acceleration- it is nice to have a gas-saving turbo charged engine with a lot more power than most. Also, I love the classy look of this hatchback- making a hatchback look good is not always easy to do but Audi has done it perfectly. The moon roof in the front and the skylight in the back is a huge favorite for my daughter- almost like having a glass ceiling! Of course the steering wheel controls make driving easy and carefree. This A3 is low maintenance and is just a great example of premium Audi quality.
The DSG is God sent you get the wonders of a manual with the luxury of a automatic! The 2.0T is an amazing little engine with plenty of HP and Torque to spare. As a Sport wagon a big advantage is the cheaper insurance!
This is a fantastic car, excellent in icy conditions, handles like a dream, powerful yet quiet....I love it!!
