What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Audi A3

Price of the Audi A3: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr 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.
2008 4dr 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.
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 reatively expensive car
2008 4dr 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.
2007 4dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed automated manual AWD		 Not for the faint of heart.
2007 4dr 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.
2006 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 A3 is expensive.

2004 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 We only had about 13000 to spend, otherwise maybe we would have bought an Acadia.
Price of the Volvo XC90: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2005 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 high msrp, dealer not wanting to deal.
2004 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The luxury is pricey. It is you who has to find the balance.
2004 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Prices on New cars are very high, and Factory Maintence is ludicrous prices.
2003 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 It is a VERY nice car, and you will pay for it - though sometimes you can find a good deal, but it will take effort.
