IntroductionModelsHistoryWhat You GetWhat to Look ForReplacement Partson The RoadOverallWe all like the idea of good things in sensibly sized packages Perhaps that's why Audi's A3 has been so successful here a compact car that goes large on quality refinement and maturity Especially in this third generation 'Type 8V' guise where it was more sophisticated and efficient than ever before particularly in the post2016 updated form we look at here from a used car buyer's perspective All of this was just as well given that in this period there were other Volkswagen Group products using many of the same ingredients and plenty of tempting high profile segment rivals In other words Audi knew that this enhanced MK3 model would have to work harder than ever to win sales Fortunately for Ingolstadt it proved to be well up to the task By this period the A3 range had been expanded to include saloon and Cabriolet models but it's the threedoor hatch and the fivedoor Sportback variants that are our focus here 3dr/5dr Hatch (10 TFSI 14 TFSI 15 TFSI 20 TFSI 25 TFSI petrol / 16 TDI 20 TDI) [SE Sport S lineS3 RS 3]) Back in 1996 when we first saw the A3 model line the idea of being able to move a car upmarket in class and appeal without increasing its size was new and rather different Cynics dismissed it as a way of dressing up ordinary family hatches and charging a lot more for them Customers though loved the idea and by the time the second generation A3 arrived in 2003 BMW and Mercedes rivals had also arrived to swell the market Initially those two brands struggled to produce products good enough to overtake Audi and the result was that nearly a quarter of a million MK2 A3s were pounding global roads by the time this third generation 'Type 8V' model first arrived in the Autumn of 2012 The Ingolstadt brand knew that this car needed to be good By this time both BMW's 1 Series and Mercedes' AClass had developed into contenders with more widespread appeal and Lexus Alfa Romeo and Volvo were all fielding fine premium compact alternatives Audi's response was very Vorsprung Durch Teckn The post2016era changes made to this revised 'Type 8V' model are primarily focused on the front end where the familiar Singleframe grille was made wider and more sharply contoured The headlamps that flanked it we also restyled to be flatter and more distinctive than before with more modern xenon lighting replacing the old halogen units Take a seat inside and the cabin quality you'll find there really sets this car apart at its price point amongst models from this era with a really premium feeling of quality and class The defining feature of the dash remains the prominent four air vents styled to look like miniature jet engines and made up of no fewer than thirty individual parts including bright metal outer rings that are shaped for perfect grip The two central vents sit above a smarter panel of ventilation controls that gained a piano black finish as part of the midlife update plus there was a restyled threespoke leathertrimmed steering wheel It's what you can view t Most owners in our survey seemed happy The most reported faults related to problems with the alarm system and the central locking And issues with rattly interior trim and nonengine electricals Look out for bodywork scrapes and kerb damage to largerspec alloy wheels We've had some reports of issues with wear to the side bolsters of the leather seats as well as squeaking front brake pads so it's worth looking out for both of those There were a few issues with the car's infotainment system with phones not connecting properly and flickering screens being the main problem Rattling parcel shelves and buzzing interior trims were also reported The DSG automatic gearbox should be checked to make sure it's had a regular oil and filter change as should the quattro fourwheeldrive system Many A3s will have been company or lease cars and as a result you should check the condition of the bodywork carefully The highquality fit and finish of an A3 also makes it an ideal candidate (approx based on a 2016 A3 20 TDI 150PS Ex Vat) An air filter costs in the £10£19 bracket An oil filter costs in the £7£11 bracket A fuel filter is around £13£29 Front brake pads sit in the £27 to £63 bracket for a set for a rear set it's in the £32 to £54 bracket Front brake discs sit in the £50£72 bracket for a rear pair you're looking at the £48£80 bracket A thermostat costs around £13£30 and a water pump is around £102 A radiator is around £150 And a starter motor is in the £110£160 bracket Audi significantly improved the TFSI petrol engine lineup with this revised post2016 version of the third generation A3 model adding in a 115PS three cylinder 10litre unit at the foot of the range and a much improved 20litre 190PS powerplant at the top of it In between these two options the clever 14litre 'Cylinder on Demand' derivative that can work with ether two or four cylinders depending on throttle load was carried over from before but had its output boosted by 10PS to 150PS This was quickly replaced by a 15 TFSI unit with the same output It's also worth mentioning that with this updated Type 8V A3 all these petrol engines were able to work with a freshly developed 7speed S tronic auto gearbox that was available as an option Further up the petrol range the hot hatch S3 variant also used the new 20litre TFSI engine but in uprated 310PS form mating it to a revised quattro 4WD system that was quickerreacting and delivered a more enthusiastorientated rear In the search for a compact car that's also a premium purchase there are probably more charismatic choices than this improved version of the MK3 Audi A3 But we think there are few better ones Light in bulk heavy in technology it's a logical evolution of a breed that's long been one of Britain's favourite company cars This improved version might look little different at first glance from the original version of the MK3 model but it'll feel so if you get a car whose original owner specified the clever 'Virtual Cockpit' technology and get to grips with the enhanced media connectivity We also think the introduction of 10litre 3 cylinder petrol power at the foot of the range was even more significant If your annual mileage is low you shouldn't automatically opt for a TDI variant without considering it By pioneering the premium compact hatch segment with original versions of this model Audi in many ways redefined the meaning of automotive luxury democratising it without the.
