AUDI A3 (2008-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 102 TECHNIK SE
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 102 TECHNIK SE is a compact, three-door premium hatchback: a more upmarket alternative to family cars such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Its understated styling and manageable size make it suitable for town driving, while the cabin and boot offer everyday practicality.
With a 1.6-litre petrol engine producing 102bhp, the Technik SE is aimed at buyers who value comfortable motoring over sporty performance. It can suit commuters, couples and first-time premium-car buyers, though three doors are less convenient for frequent rear-seat access. The SE trim adds a level of equipment for daily use.
