Audi A3: Audi nails it!

Audi A3
"Downmarket, my foot. The A3 is as great as an Audi gets.". That's the summary of "Winding Road's" great article about the Audi A3.
Every once in a while, a car comes along that feels like a genuine discovery. I'm talking about the kind of car that isn't necessarily impressive on paper, but is so well executed that it deserves special attention. In years gone by, the BMW 3-Series was certainly in that camp, along with the original Volkswagen Golf GTI and the last generation Mazda RX-7. These aren't supercars, like the Ferrari F430 or the Corvette Z06, which everyone expects to be impressive and significant. They are just well balanced, fun to drive and relatively affordable. Cars like these tend to surprise because there isn't anything obviously outstanding about them on paper. But, behind the wheel, it is a different story.

I'm here to say that the new Audi A3 is in this camp...

A must read!
