Used 2015 Audi A3 for sale in Pelham

Seller description

The new A3 2.0T Quattro thumped its arch rivals, the BMW 228i and the Mercedes-Benz CLA250 4MATIC, in our out-west comparison test. Audis smallest sedan won by a fair margin, providing the best combo of creature comforts, performance, and driving enjoyment. But can sports-sedan salvation be had without spending for the bigger engine? To find out, we tested the more humble A3 1.8T, which starts at $30,795, or $3000 less than the 2.0T QuattroAll A3s share fundamentals with VW Golfs, including the GTI, which means that agile handling, precise steering, and efficient construction are part of the deal. Compared with its five-door predecessor, the new A3 is larger in every dimension except height, yet is 100 pounds lighter model to model. A convertible, a hot S3 sedan, a turbo-diesel, and a gas-electric hybrid will soon join the throng. Notching down from the 2.0T to the 1.8T sacrifices a significant 50 horsepower, 58 pound-feet of torque, and Audis vaunted four-wheel-drive system. But dash strokers wont be disappointed with its magnificent air vents, leather trim, huge sunroof, and 10-speaker audio systemall of which are standard in both A3s. While a manual transmission is no longer available, sticky Continental SportContact 2 tires and 18-inch wheels are an $800 alternative to the standard 17-inch package.
