Despite the lack of significant changes for 2024, Audi’s smallest and most affordable car continues to offer a pleasant driving experience in true German fashion. The standard A3 features a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine rated at 201 horsepower, while the sportier S3 cranks it up to 306 horsepower. Both use a seven-speed transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. Performance enthusiasts are still waiting for the 394-horsepower RS 3 to arrive in Canada.
