Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0 TDI CR DPF 170 S LINE STRON AUTO is a premium five-door hatchback, offering more space and practicality than the three-door A3 while remaining easy to park and live with. It sits above mainstream family cars such as the Volkswagen Golf, and competes with the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

Here, the 170-horsepower diesel and automatic gearbox make it a strong choice for regular commuting and longer journeys, with useful passing power and relaxed cruising. The S line trim adds a sportier appearance and cabin details, giving this A3 a more purposeful feel than many ordinary hatchbacks. Its five doors and usable boot also suit couples or small families.
