If you're looking for a somewhat sporty, somewhat classy, and somewhat family-like car, the 2011 Audi A3 may be perfect for you. The 2011 Audi A3 has an equipment set that we'd best describe as being what "entry luxury" is all about. While it appeals to those who might look at a well-equipped Subaru WRX or Mazda3, it has a stronger feature set than those vehicles at about the same price.

On the Outside
The exterior of the 2011 Audi A3 truncated hatchback body style is somewhat square and boxy without entirely giving up the Audi look. However, an optional sport package is available that spruces up the exterior with sporty wheels and Audi's trademark LEDs.
From the Inside
Leather and dual-zone automatic climate control are standard on the 2011 Audi A3 base trim, while a power driver's seat and multifunction steering wheel comes with the TDI trim level. For a bit more glamor, walnut inlays and a sunroof are optional.
Driving Performance
With a turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine producing 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, which can be routed to the front wheels or all four wheels through Audi's quattro all-wheel drive, the 2011 Audi A3 offers either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Offered as an option is a 140-hp turbocharged diesel four-cylinder engine with 236 lb-ft of torque available in front-wheel drive only and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. If you prefer sportier handling, sport package is also available.
Safety Equipment
On the 2011 Audi A3, front and side airbags for front-seat passengers and full-length side curtain airbags come standard, while rear-seat side airbags are optional. For additional safety, traction control and stability control are standard.

The 2012 model year offered four versions of the Audi A3: The 2.0T Premium (gasoline), the 2.0T Premium Plus (gasoline), the 2.0 TDI Premium (diesel), and the 2.0 TDI Premium Plus (diesel). There were no significant changes from the 2011 model.
While modest in its interior, the Audi A3's wagon utility is underscored by its boxy, square profile. Modest also are its standard safety features, however, the diesel does get a stunning 40 mpg, while the gas engine's EPA ratings are in the 22 city/28 mpg highway range. If you can't afford a higher end Audi, the 2011 A3 is a good starting point. Overall, though, the 2011 Audi A3 is a car that consumers might want to invest in because it will be a joyous, comfortable, and exciting ride.
