Practicality and style of the car

A used Audi A3 has ample leg room and a spacious boot. The Sportback's centre display is perfectly framed by the centre console and luxurious trim.

The Audi A3 Saloon provides all the quality and comfort that is expected from a luxury car brand. For those looking for something smaller than the larger A4 Saloon, the A3 is a great option. The main competitors are the likes of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Saloon and BMW 2 Series. As the sportiest of the models, the A3 Saloon has a wrap-around cockpit interior. Its lower seating position makes it unique. It also has a sleeker roofline and larger boot space than the other A3 body types.

Enjoy the wind through your hair with the Audi A3 Cabriolet S Line or Sport, the convertible model of the A3 Saloon. The A3 Cabriolet finds itself in good company alongside the BMW 2 Series Convertible and the VW Golf Cabriolet.

Audi has also minimised the vibrations typically found when losing the hard top, offering comfortable and safe handling. Therefore, the Audi A3 Cabriolet demonstrates a premium car of its class.

The Audi A3 faces plenty of competition from other manufacturers. These include the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra, Mercedes A-Class and the BMW 1 Series.


How a used Audi A3 drives

The Saloon comes in a variety of engine size options. Whether it is the petrol 1.4 TFSI or diesel 1.6 TDI you are after, there will be the engine size perfect for your needs. The hybrid option is ideal for those looking for something more environmentally friendly.

The Audi A3 Saloon comes with speed-sensitive steering which can adapt as you drive. If you are driving faster, the steering will get heavier, making it easier for motorway driving. It therefore maintains a pleasurable driving experience, no matter the situation.

The Audi A3 Cabriolet comes with a variety of engine size choices available. Many drivers opt for the turbo version to provide that extra thrill and performance. You can find the perfect convertible for your needs with Arnold Clark.

The Audi A3 Cabriolet is not a sports car style convertible. Yet, it does offer the comfort and quality associated with the Audi brand.
