The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0T FSI 200 S LINE SPECIAL EDITION DSG AUTO is a five-door premium hatchback, combining everyday practicality with a sportier, more upmarket feel than a family runabout. In the UK it sits among compact alternatives such as the BMW 1 Series and Volkswagen Golf. With five doors and a boot, the Sportback suits commuting, small families and drivers wanting one car for town and longer journeys. The 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine and quick-shifting DSG automatic give it brisk, easy performance, while S line styling adds a more distinctive, purposeful look than many mainstream hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com has recorded 310 look-ups across 115 distinct VINs, offering a meaningful snapshot of used cars shoppers have checked.
