AUDI A3 (2008-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDI CR DPF 140 S LINE
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDI CR DPF 140 S LINE is a premium-feeling hatchback, sitting above ordinary small cars in finish and appeal while remaining compact for town use. It suits commuters and couples wanting a smart everyday car, with useful passenger and shopping space, rather than maximum family practicality.
Its 2.0-litre diesel engine gives it useful flexibility for longer journeys, while S line styling adds a sportier look and a more purposeful feel than many mainstream hatchbacks. Against rivals such as the BMW 1 Series and Volkswagen Golf, the A3 is known for its upmarket cabin and composed drive. Three doors mean rear access is less convenient.
