Used 2013 Audi A3 for sale near Chippenham

The 2013 Audi A3 is a premium-badged hatchback based on the same platform and using the same engines as the Volkswagen Golf. It is part of the third model generation of Audi A3, which represented a big step forward in terms of design, interior quality and technology over to its predecessors. The 2013 Audi A3 has a good mixture of comfort, strong performance and impressive fuel efficiency, and while keen drivers might ultimately prefer the rear-wheel-drive dynamics of a BMW 1 Series, the A3 is by no means a sloppy car to drive.
## Strengths: The interior is high-quality, and practical if you choose the five-door Sportback
Excellent fuel economy from the diesel-engined models
The RS3 has serious performance credentials
## Weaknesses: More expensive to buy than mainstream cars with similar abilities
S line versions have a firm ride
Performance models are pricey to run
## Is the Audi A3 better than the BMW 1 Series? Whether to choose an Audi A3 over a BMW 1 Series is actually very simple. If you value having more space for rear seat passengers and in the boot then go for the Audi. If, however, driving enjoyment is at the top of your list of priorities and you're prepared to sacrifice some practicality, the BMW 1 Series is the best pick.
