The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK QUATTRO 2.0 TFSI 200 BLACK EDITION STRON AUTO is a premium five-door hatchback, combining everyday practicality with a more powerful, sporty feel. In the UK market, it sits above mainstream family hatchbacks, offering a compact alternative to larger executive cars, with four-wheel drive and automatic convenience. Mycarcheck.com records 315 look-ups covering 79 VINs, with the first recorded in February 2021. The average private-sale valuation was £5,000, while average recorded mileage was 105,000 and annual mileage 6,000. These figures offer useful context, not a price guarantee; the sample also averaged about six previous keepers, so check each car’s history carefully. For commuters and couples, it offers wet-weather confidence, lively performance and distinctive Black Edition styling. Rear doors and a useful boot make it more versatile than a coupe, while the cabin feels premium. Check service records and running costs carefully, and inspect its condition before buying.
