Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK 1.4 TFSI 125 SPORT is a premium-leaning five-door family hatchback, sitting above mainstream choices such as the Ford Focus and alongside the BMW 1 Series and Volkswagen Golf. Its Sportback shape adds doors and boot space without making it feel like a bulky car.

It is a good fit for couples, small families or drivers wanting a more upmarket cabin than ordinary hatchbacks, with practicality and an engaging drive.
