The AUDI A3 HATCHBACK (2012-16) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 TFSI SS 105 EU5 S LINE 6SPD is a compact premium hatchback, offering an upmarket alternative to mainstream cars and rivaling the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Its three-door shape and S line styling give it a sportier, more distinctive appearance. Mycarcheck.com checks give a snapshot: 134 look-ups covered 48 different VINs. The recorded cars averaged £7,400 in private-sale value, about 90,000 miles and 7,000 miles a year, with just over three previous keepers on average; check each car's history and condition individually. These figures describe the sample, not every example. This A3 suits commuters, couples and premium-car newcomers seeking a daily driver; three doors make rear access less convenient for family use. Its 1.2-litre petrol engine and stop-start system aim for sensible running costs, while the refined cabin helps it feel more premium than many rivals in its class today.
