User Review Comparison
  • Premium, compact sedan is fun to drive.

    A relatively smaller version of the Audi brand, the A3 is a nice, well-equipped entry-level luxury sedan known for its comfort and fun to drive characteristics. Priced quite aggressively here in the UAE market, the A3 is a good upgrade to a premium brand without breaking the bank. The impressive handling and a responsive engine makes it a delight to drive. Same is with the interior which is quite well laid-out, featuring quality materials that add a touch of luxury. Even the back seat can be a bit tight for adults and the trunk isn't the largest, the A3 makes up for it with its stylish and refined design.
