2007 Audi A3 review

With a very efficient engine and technologically advanced transmission, the 2007 Audi A3 is a great driver's car. Its interior is well-appointed, and we like its Bluetooth cell phone integration. The premium Bose stereo sounds very good

Audi's cabin electronics have quickly become dated, with no MP3 CD compatibility and an SD card reader that makes selecting music difficult. The navigation interface makes choosing destinations tedious

The Escort GT2 performance computer is ready to time our runs.

2006 Audi A3 review

Well-built interior ; choice of XM or Sirius satellite radio ; direct-injection 2.0-liter engine ; DSG transmission

Lack of cabin electronics ; no Quattro with FSI turbo four-cylinder engine ; pricey when fully optioned

Solid performance marks this early-adopter car, but the Audi A3 gets pricey when all options are in.

Built on the same new-generation transverse-engine platform as the latest version of parent company Volkswagen's Jetta, the 2006 Audi A3 is considerably different in personality. Power platform Underneath the 2006 Audi A3's practical two-box body...

2006 Audi A3

The A3 revises option-package features for 2007, but is otherwise unchanged for its third season in America. A sporty S3 with a tuned V6 making around 280 hp is expected during the '07 model year, says a reliable Detroit-based source. It's already ...

2007 Audi A3

A 4-passenger A3 convertible is said to be due sometime in 2008, perhaps as an early-'09 model. It should share most features with A3 hatchbacks, powerteams included, and will probably have a power-operated cloth roof rather than a hideaway hard top. ...

2007 Audi A3

By Eric Peters

Brand-new for 2006, Audi's A3 is a compact sports wagon derived from the latest-generation Volkswagen Golf - but with a sleeker roofline and unique styling cues, including the bold front grille design that first appeared on the '05 A6 sedan. For 2007, ...

Audi A3 2.0 T

By Bill Howard

For years, only race cars could generate 100 horsepower per liter of engine size, and then only exotic sports cars.

Powerful four-cylinder turbocharged engine. DVD nav system, Bluetooth and Bose premium audio options. Smooth-shifting gearbox. Luxurious interior.

Awkward vertical mounting of the MMI controller. Cramped legroom for the driver. The car stumbles when accelerating hard from a standstill.

Turbocharging technology and an automatically controlled manual transmission make this premium compact sports wagon shine. But the dashboard placement of the MMI controller doesn't work.

Thanks to a powerful turbocharger, the 2.0-liter engine produces exactly 200 hp, and this little rocket ship carries four (somewhat snugly seated) adults to 60 mph in just 6.7 seconds. Now, a station wagon can: the subcompact Audi A3 2.0 T.
