You’ll like the Audi A3 if you’re in the market for a smaller and consequently cheaper luxury car. More traditional than the Mercedes-Benz CLA and more legit than the Acura ILX, the new A3 feels like a real-deal premium car, and an available diesel engine is unique to the class.
The 2015 A3 sedan has its charms, but it is not a major risk taker. For bold styling, the Mercedes-Benz CLA is a better choice, while the BMW 2 Series Coupe is arguably more thrilling to drive. That said, prospective A3 buyers looking for a greater balance between performance, style and value should consider stepping up to the 292-horsepower Audi S3.
