Reviews SummaryThe 2022 Audi A3 is a premium compact sedan entering an all-new generation of production. The four-door is available in three trim levels, with the same ones available in the higher-performance S3 variant, carrying a starting MSRP of $38,900 and going to $53,900. Quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) is standard, while a front-wheel drive (FWD) drivetrain is not offered in the Canadian market. Audi has added upscale features to this new car, both standard and available, to give its entry-level compact sedan more of a premium presence. | |
Reviews SummaryWith its updated engine, revised suspension, and tech-forward interior, the latest iteration of Volkswagen’s legendary GTI looks ready to do battle with the Hyundai Veloster N as well as the Honda Civic Si and Subaru WRX. With regards to performance, the GTI is a new vehicle that leaves almost nothing to be desired. | |
