 Audi A3 - Practicality 3.5/5
Audi A3
Audi A3
Although the Audi A3 is reasonably priced, the standard package doesn’t cover all of the necessities, making it likely that some upgrades will be required. The diesel engine runs much more economically than its petrol counterpart. Insurance and servicing costs run higher on the Audi A3 than an average family hatch, but Audi’s resale value should be higher than the average competitor if for no other reason than the Audi name.

Audi’s A3 has been made more practical with the addition of two more doors. This has been a great asset to buyers allowing easier access to the rear seats. The rear seats are now able to accommodate two adults comfortably.

The controls and instruments are easy to read and manipulate from a variety of positions within the car. The cars ventilation panel has really small buttons that are difficult to use for the ventilation system’s major functions.

At times the Audi A3 struggles with delivering a comfortable ride. The seats are firm and supportive, and there is plenty of head and legroom for all. Rear passengers should be quite comfortable. Tall passengers may have a difficult time riding in the rear.

The A3’s doors are large enough to facilitate easy access to the cabin. Seats adjust for driver and passenger comfort. Gaining access to rear seating is not difficult, but exiting the vehicle from the rear seats has proven to be more challenging. The Audi A3’s variable rate power assisted steering parking requires very little exertion. Forward visibility is good, but rear visibility is somewhat limited.
