Ask Autoblog: Should I get a new Audi A3? Or Certified Pre-Owned A4?

Audi A3
Let me tell you my opinion first: Whatever your answer will be, you will make a good choice anyway. Both cars are great! It's just depending on your personal needs and favourites.
If you really want the newest car technology, that smell and bumper-to-bumper coverage, the A3 (right) is a fun-to-drive car with practical cargo space – like a larger, more aggressive Mini Cooper. If you want more passenger room, less depreciation (roughly $3,000 less over 5 years) and a softer, more comfortable ride, the used A4 is your car. It provides a more pleasing interior with a design that should stand up better to the test of time, if not a bit bland for some people. It does, however, lack the legroom in the rear. If AWD is important to you, check to see when the A3s will start arriving with Quattro, as they are all front-driven right now.
