While it may not be as exciting as some of the performance and luxury models on display at this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the new Audi A3 Sedan Concept has an irresistible quality that’s hard to ignore. Perhaps it’s because the styling is reminiscent of the previous B5 Audi...

The Audi A3 is one of those cars that, despite its inherent goodness, hasn't ever really caught on in the U.S. Maybe it's the high price, or the fact that it doesn't offer much more performance than a Volkswagen Golf, which shares the underpinnings. Then there's the hatchback-only shape, which is...

Sharing an engine with the TT-RS, the new Audi RS3 Sportback extracts 340 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque from its 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbo. In most cars, getting that power down to the ground when the road surface is covered in ice or snow would be next to impossible but thanks to its...

Wanting what we can't have is a common thread in the shared human experience, and the thread has rarely been stronger for us than in the case of the Audi RS 3 Sportback. Hatchback? Check. Hot? Check. All-wheel drive? Check. It ticks all the boxes. This video includes tons of static footage of the...

It's a pretty...

Audi has pushed back the arrival of its next-generation A3 by one year as it tackles the development of several other all-new models such as the A1 hatch and Q3 soft-roader. Originally slated to arrive at the end of the year, the new 2012 Audi A3 will now hit the market early next year in basic...

A base A3 2.0 TDI FWD S-Tronic runs $29,950. The VW Golf TDI we recently tested runs $23,090. In the review of that car we mentioned how the $7k discount for the Golf might be the way to go. After all, you can’t get this flavor of Audi with quattro AWD, which would differentiate the Audi diesel...
