The AUDI A3 HATCHBACK (2016-18) 3DR HATCHBACK QUATTRO 2.0 TDI DPF SS 184 EU6 SPORT STRON AUTO6 is a premium compact hatchback, offering a more polished alternative to mainstream family hatchbacks. Its three-door layout gives it a sportier look, while quattro four-wheel drive and the automatic gearbox add confidence and ease in varied conditions. It’s suited to commuters and couples who want a comfortable, capable daily car, with useful pace for motorway journeys and secure traction in poor weather. The diesel engine can suit regular longer trips, though its three doors and smaller rear access make it less convenient than five-door rivals for families or frequent passengers. mycarcheck.com logged 45 look-ups but just one distinct VIN, so this is a snapshot, not a broad market sample. Recorded averages were 56,000 miles, 7,000 miles yearly, two previous keepers and £11,400 private-sale value. It rivals premium hatchbacks with grip and polish.
