2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 While the 2.0T has power to spare, it can also achieve excellent economy when driven lightly. I average 26 mpg/city with spirited driving, and I hit 32 mpg/highway easily (36+ mpg when babying it). The DSG transmission is more efficient than a manual too! see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review
