Audi A3
The A3 sedan is the most affordable model in the entire Audi lineup with a base price just shy of $39,000. There once was a five-door Sportback body style, too, but now only the four-door model remains. A turbocharged 2.0-litre engine provides motivation and does so with the help of mild hybrid technology. Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system comes standard. If you like performance, don’t miss the sporty S3 and explosive RS 3.
