2019 Audi A3 - Comfortable vehicle.
Better performance fast pickup and great comfortable. Inside, the A3's cabin is as stylish and as well-assembled as its larger Audi siblings. Innovative technology is featured heavily, including a trick digital gauge cluster and a motorized pop-up infotainment screen. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 4G LTE–powered Wi-Fi hotspot also are available. Interior passenger space is tight, even by compact-car standards, and the convertible model's rear seat is even more snug than the sedan's. Audi offers plenty of driver-assistance features, although most are extra-cost options. Automated emergency braking and forward-collision warning are both standard, but conveniences such as adaptive cruise control, a self-parking feature, and automatic high-beam headlamps are optional.
Story
No story.
Pros
Impressive virtual cockpit. Well-equipped base model. Active safety features included.
Cons
Cramped back seat and trunk. Best safety equipment reserved for top-tier. Diminutive size may be a turn-off.
2019 Audi A3 - Very smooth drive.
The A3's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is offered in two potencies—186 or 220 horsepower—and is smooth and refined. The higher-powered version rocketed an all-wheel-drive A3 sedan from zero to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds at our test track and still delivered 34 mpg on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test loop.
Story
Driving to church.
Pros
The 148bhp 35 TFSI, though, is our pick of the line up. It's cheaper than the 35 TDI but still offers strong, impressive performance right throughout the rev range. For those who want true hot hatch levels of performance, an Audi S3 is on the way.
Cons
The 2020 A3 has a below-average predicted reliability rating of 2.5 out of five from J.D. Power.
