The AUDI A3 SALOON (2016-20) S3 4DR SALOON QUATTRO 2.0 TFSI SS 310 EU6 BLACK EDITION 6SPD is a compact, four-door performance saloon: smarter and more practical than a small sports car, but easier to park than a large executive model. In the UK, it sits at the premium end of the small-car market, alongside sporty versions of the Mercedes-Benz CLA and BMW 2 Series. With 56 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 21 different VINs, there is a useful snapshot of interest in this model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £21,900 and recorded mileage of 51,000 miles; average annual use is 7,000 miles. Cars checked had around two previous keepers on average. It suits commuters and small families wanting comfort, boot space and pace. Its 310bhp engine, four-wheel drive and Black Edition styling make it brisk and distinctive, though fuel and upkeep may cost more than in ordinary compact saloons.
