Category: Small Family 
Price Range: £15,265 to £26,525
Classy looks, attractive cabin, safe handling, quality, 2.0-litre engines
Pricey, appalling rearward visibility, notchy gearchange, smallish boot, less sporting than Audi claims
Desirable but expensive. Good road manners and roomier cabin justify its high price
The A3 holds its value well, like the closely-related Golf, so it's a good investment. The economical diesel models are popular, though most versions are easy to sell on; S line spec is particularly popular among style-conscious younger used car buyers.
