		The Audi A3 and A3 Sportback, the premium compact models from Audi, are raising their sporty profile with a raft of improvements and an accentuated design.

	First Drive: 2006 Audi Avant and Audi A3 Sportback
		Audi figures the A6 and A3 appeal to that sense of proportion in their beguiling combinations of driving enjoyment and well-tailored interior space.
		Although the A6 Avant was the star of that day's show, the A3 is more significant and could play a breakthrough role for Audi in the same way the Mini Cooper allowed American car buyers to combine "small" and "premium" on their wish lists.
		Audi Avants sneer at snow and ice, which is no match for quattro all-wheel drive, advanced electronic stability control and a new sophisticated suspension.

	Audi A3 - Wikicars
		The 2007 A3 comes available in two trims, the 2.0 T and the 3.2 S. The 2.0 T, as the name indicates, is equipped with a 2.0L 200hp I-4 engine, while the 3.2 S is equipped with a 3.2L 250hp V6.
		In 2006 Audi released the new S3 quattro, this was the top of the range A3 which used the same 2.0 TFSI engine with an output of 265HP, the reason they used the 2.0T was to keep it lighter then the 3.2 quattro thus giving it superior driving dynamics.
		In late 2001, the A3 range was revised with new light clusters, an improved interior, and the introduction of a six-speed manual gearbox, on the 180 PS 1.8 Turbo and the brand new 130 PS (96 kW) 1.9 TDI.

	2006 Audi A3 Expert Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It's too soon yet to declare the A3 a marketplace success, but it gave this reviewer a week of almost thoroughly enjoyable driving, which he was sorry to see end.
		By the numbers, the A3 is on a wheelbase about 3 inches shorter than an A4's, but the A3 is almost a foot shorter than an A4 wagon and about 390 pounds lighter.
		A3 prices start at $25,460 with freight for a version with a six-speed stick shift and $26,860 with freight for the one I drove, which had a six-speed automatic that, like so many in new cars, can easily be shifted manually.

		Audi has stated that it is determined to be considered a tier 1 luxury manufacturer, and beat its German competitors worldwide.

		The A3 models with four-wheel drive had a special rear suspension featuring a longitudinal link and two wishbones per wheel; the quattro design had been introduced as an option on the 1.8 T shortly before the launch of the S3.
