The Audi A3 convertible (cabriolet) and luxury sedan are gaining lots of popularity thanks to the blending of an established luxury brand and entry-level price. Despite the relatively low price, the new A3 doesn't feel compromised. It has an opulent interior; it is fun to drive and comes with a potent engine lineup. It brings the same solid qualities delivered by its bigger siblings, a quiet interior with nimble handling. The 2016 Audi A3 is available as a Cabriolet (convertible) that can seat four or a sedan seating 5. An automated manual transmission and front-wheel drive come standard, although the all-wheel drive is also available. The Audi A3 got a complete redesign for its 2015 model and had seen minor changes for this year.

It may be compact, but the engine packs a punch. Seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Front-wheel drive. 184 horsepower.
