The AUDI A3 HATCHBACK (2012-16) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 TFSI COD SS 150 EU6 SPORT NAV 6SPD is a premium three-door hatchback, competing with the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Sport Nav brings an upmarket feel, while its compact size suits UK roads and feels more polished than mainstream alternatives. It suits commuters, couples and households wanting a refined car for town trips and longer journeys. The 1.4-litre petrol engine offers lively performance without making economy an afterthought, and three doors create a sportier look, though access to the rear seats is less convenient than in a five-door A3. mycarcheck.com checks show 41 look-ups covering 24 different VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample.
