Audi A3 so Cheap ?
So I am currently looking for Sport Sedan with AWD....and Audi released their A3 as a new breed. I can't believe it, and I don't think I still can.
29,900 MSRP Base ?
Quattro AWD ?
4 doors ?
Paranomic Headlights and LED ?
300 HP ?
My goodness, are they trying to kill EVO and STI that hard ?

I don't think the base car @ $29K will be loaded with 300hp, etc....HID yes.....but if it is....I'm getting one!!!
I'm more interested in the S3....

Oh....you are right, I think the base is more like 200 hp. The S3 is the one 300HP LOL....

I don't need anything smaller than a IS (looking at GS's now), but I still like this petit A3/S3

I bet the new A3 sedan has just as much rear seat legroom as your 2g IS

Are you sure the $29K model includes Quattro??
This what what the October press release said:
Quote:
Audi today announced base pricing for its all-new 2015 A3 sedan. This compact powerhouse represents the entry level to the Audi brand of luxury vehicles with no compromises – it will offer a combination of standard features including a panoramic glass sunroof, leather seating surfaces, and bi-xenon headlights, all at a base MSRP starting at $29,900.
Xenons, not LED headlights. No mention of Quattro.

I Made mistake
Those are Base model, not the S model
I think the S model is priced close to 45k

The A3 sedan and S3 in particular are very appealing, but I doubt $30k will get you all that.

This car will steal a lot of BMW 1 series sale. The 1 is sooooo ugly compare to this.

The PR does list the pano roof as a standard feature as quoted above. Quite a good value vs. the CT.
