Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0 TDI CR DPF 140 STRON AUTO is a premium compact hatchback: five doors bring practicality, while Audi’s restrained styling feels more upmarket than many mainstream family cars. It sits between city cars and larger family hatchbacks in the UK used-car market.

Its diesel economy can appeal to higher-mileage drivers, though condition, servicing and local emissions rules are worth checking before buying an older diesel.
