A lot less leg room when compared to the GTI, but the rear hatch space is bigger. see full Audi A3 review |

| 2007 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
The back seat is too small for most adults. I hadn't thought about it much when I bought the car, but it became apparent. I'd take friends to lunch and they are uncomfortable.Even ifa personplans on sitting small children in the back, they grow and the useful life of the car is affected. I wish the Europeans would figure that out. see full Audi A3 review |

Great engine. The 2 liter turbo is perfect for this car. I have no problems merging onto the freeway, even on shorter ramps. It will maintian 75 up any grade with power to spare. see full Audi A3 review |
