| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
bmw marketing makes you pay for every option. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Who likes paying so much for any car? Although, when compared with the 540i we traded, the X6 was still good value. We ordered the standard rather than the sports as we could not see the value in the minor improvement in handling. Car looks identical. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Audi A3
| Price of the Audi A3: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |
