Price of the Audi A3: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20094dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual AWD		Expensive for the size of the car. I would expect a few more luxury features to be standard for the base price.
20084dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		The price is high for an Audi. And if you want anything optional, well, there you go.
20084dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 reatively expensive car
20084dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		Pricing was actually higher for a lesser equipped A3 than for the Passat Komfort wagon.
20074dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		The A3 is not priced too competitively. It is much less expensive than a BMW 1 series, but still high for a compact/hatchback. Well equipped it is nearly as much as an A4. A loaded VW GTI (same chassis/drivetrain) costs much less, but insurance is higher.
20074dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed automated manual AWD		Not for the faint of heart.
20064dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		A3 is expensive.
