The A3 challenges {competitors|opponents|rivals} with {confident|assured} {handling|dealing with}, a {choice|alternative|selection} of {front|entrance}- or all-wheel drive, and an {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} plug-in hybrid. Audi {introduced|launched} the A3 to the U.S. 2005 {featuring|that includes} the automaker抯 {dual|twin}-clutch {automatic|automated|computerized} and {a new|a brand new} 2.0-liter turbo-{four|4} engine.

After our First Test {review|assessment|evaluate|evaluation|overview} of the {front|entrance}-drive 1.8T {model|mannequin}, we {enjoyed|loved} its {fun|enjoyable} driving dynamics, low base {price|value|worth}, and {impressive|spectacular} infotainment system. However, the minimalistic {interior|inside}, conservative exterior, and tire noise {were|had been|have been} our chief complaints. In 2015 Motor Trend Car of the Year testing, the A3 was chosen as a finalist {because of|due to} its {impressive|spectacular} {handling|dealing with} {characteristics|traits}, good {fuel|gas|gasoline} {efficiency|effectivity}, and handsome {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be}. {For additional|For added|For extra} {power|energy} and grip, the 2.0T with all-wheel-drive {might|may|would possibly} work, or the S3 with {just under|just below|slightly below} 300 hp above that {model|mannequin}. The 2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron arrived {as the|because the} automaker憇 first contender {in the|within the} plug-in hybrid {segment|phase|section}. After our First Drive {review|assessment|evaluate|evaluation|overview}, we {came|got here} away very impressed with the plug-in A3 {but|however} {still|nonetheless} {preferred|most popular|most well-liked} the Chevrolet Volt. {As a result of|Because of|On account of} Volkswagen抯 diesel emission scandal, the Audi A3 TDI is {no longer|not|now not} {for sale|on the market} {in the|within the} U.S., leaving the e-tron as Audi抯 {alternative|different|various}-powertrain, {efficient|environment friendly} {option|choice|possibility}.
