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 SummaryIn a perfect world, every driving enthusiast could afford the car of their dreams. In reality, where mortgage or rent payments are due, you’ve got kids to shuttle, and you need enough cargo space to carry groceries, bulk-packaged toilet paper, and road-trip luggage, it can seem as though no car can possibly satisfy your practical requirements and put a smile on your face at the same time. We have good news! The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is just such a car. | |
