Audi A3 Sportback 2008

5 star review

Well made. nice to drive, nippy and very economical. £35 road tax but congestion charge concession was never instituted... to quote Transport for London - "It was one of Red Ken’s daft ideas dumped by Boris."

Audi A3 Sportback Sports Back 5 door 2007

3 star review

I did a search on this car because I was totally gob smacked at the road noise the car develops. Had it in to the local Audi dealer who tells me this is a common complaint and nothing they can do? I will try to look at fitting quieter road tyres to see if that helps? Overall the car is a good car although a little tight on space and way too expensive if buying new.

Lovely car to drive if you can put up with the road noise. It is by far the noisiest car I have owned. Shame because the car excels in all other areas.

Great performer, exhilirating drive and high build quality. This is Audi doing what Audi does best - designing and building quality cars. Driving the A3 Sportback really is a pleasure.

My A3 Sportback has given me nothing but reliable and comfortable driving in the 8 months I have owned it. It has made the 5.30am start to my working day something to look forward to!

Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI 170 Sport 5 dr

5 star review

Although I only took delivery 5 weeks ago, so far I am very pleased I chose this car over other makes I had been considering. Motorway cruising is immensely enjoyable and so far I have achieved an average MPG of 42. Performance and fuel efficiency was not my only consideration as I have a young child and therefore space was a major concern, however, the Audi A3 certainly has room enough for the car seat, pram and everything else needed on long and short journeys.
