Audi A3 vs VW Golf
Some people may regard the new Audi A3 as a more expensive alternative to the VW Golf but that should not be the case. With the A3 being an Audi, the German carmaker made sure that the small car will still have enough bragging rights to make it reign supreme in the subcompact hatchback category. As with all Audi cars, the A3 has the same level of refinement and quality that you will only find in more expensive ultra luxury cars. There is nothing like an Audi when it comes to the perfect execution of build quality and top notch materials. The A3 is no exemption.
Step inside the immaculate cabin and you will instantly be educated on what makes a proper small German car. The dashboard is finished in high grade and soft touch plastics along with buttons and levers that function with the accuracy and heft of a precision instrument. The seats are well-contoured and padded to provide comfort on long journeys. The cabin space on the new Audi A3 is marginally adequate for the intended purpose. Without stepping too much on the details, it is safe to assume that the A3 can comfortably accommodate four adults in moderate comfort.
The suspension was designed to remain sporty, quite similar to the more humble VW Golf. Berkshire car buyers might get irked by the firm nature of the springing but this kind of set up will benefit the car most over high speed runs. The A3 may not exhibit true sports car behavior when rushed but it remains composed and settled even on triple digit speeds. The A3 is a quiet, if not a bit hard riding cruiser but the cabin comfort and ergonomics are top notch for a small car.
