AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0 TDI 170 SPORT
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0 TDI 170 SPORT is a premium-leaning five-door hatchback: more practical than the three-door A3, yet easier to park and run than a larger family car. It sits among popular UK alternatives such as the Volkswagen Golf and BMW 1 Series, offering a smart, understated image with useful everyday space.
Its 2.0-litre diesel engine and 170bhp tune give this Sportback stronger performance than many economy-focused hatchbacks, while diesel efficiency suits regular longer journeys. The five-door layout works well for commuters, couples and small families needing a practical boot and rear access, with a more engaging, polished feel than many mainstream rivals.
