Audi A3 Sportback: test drive

The South African website Wheels24 has made a test drive with the new Audi A3 Sportback and they seem to be quite impressed.

How do you make a BMW 1 Series driver jealous? Easy... go buy an Audi A3 Sportback.

Audi's marketing slogan for the A3 Sportback is "A new kind of vorsprung" and there is no doubt that Audi is indeed coming out with full force to give the Sportback the edge.

In fact the Sportback already proves to be popular as there is a waiting list of three months and Audi dealerships can prepare themselves for a flood of potential buyers.

As with its VW sibling the Sportback 2.0 T FSI offers potent turbo power which makes it a great driver's car. But it seems quieter than in the Golf and in the Sportback it has a more "grown-up" feel to it as it doesn't feel as wild.

Though it is still fun and this model is a superb combination of performance and the need of a practical and versatile vehicle. This model offers a smooth ride but once the turbo kicks in at about 2 000 r/min the fun really starts.

The Sportback is a car with a big "wow" factor and it is an impressive package indeed. This is a vehicle which comes with loads of style without sacrificing versatility.

Furthermore this is complimented by superb fit and finish giving it a touch of class, which is not matched by its biggest German competitor.

This Audi's potent and frugal engine range makes the Sportback even more desirable.

The Sportback is not only a car which you want to be seen in, but also one you want to drive.
