2011 Audi A3 review
Body and interior
The sporty elegance of the Audi A3 three-door A3 Sportback five-door is already evident in the design. The optional xenon plus headlights with LED lights combine daytime running. The only part of the network and the setting in the B-posts are painted glossy black, the air intakes have a lower chrome spacers and no chrome strips on the door handles (except S3). All versions of the Audi A3 has a diffuser with a spoiler on the rear badge. Light guide bars in the tail light of a distinctive contour A3 Sportback, the three-door model with tinted rear lights.
Sporty elegance infused inside the Audi A3, too. The characteristic of the instruments in the face resting gray, and a flat-bottomed leather sports steering wheel is optional. The vents are framed in black rings, while the optional navigation system for a sport high gloss scope. There are bright finish aluminum-inserted into the center console, mirror control switch and buttons for electric windows. On models with manual transmission, shift indicator in the driver information system (first series with the ambition to finish line) complements the concept of operations. The front-drive A3 offers a generous 350-1080 liters (12.36 to 38.14 cubic feet) of luggage capacity with front wheel drive Audi A3 Sportback offers even more: 370 to 1,100 liters (13, 07-38 , 85 cubic feet).

Training
There are eight sources of energy, a large range of engines for Audi A3 and A3 Sportback - four petrol and four diesel units. All are high-level four-cylinder with turbocharger and direct injection, and badged as FSI and TDI. They offer all the features of Audi engine technology - performance, refinement, power and torque.
Audi to use the system recovery and start-stop system for five of the eight engines. Start-stop system, which serves as both guides and the S tronic dual-clutch transmissions, cuts the engine when the car is at rest, and then restarts it when the switch is turned on or the brakes are released. Recovery systems are standard on all engines.
The petrol engine, entry-level 1.2 TFSI is, he embodies the rationale for the strategy of downsizing Audi - the substitution boost for travel. The four-cylinder unit develops 77 kW (105 hp) and 175 Nm of torque heavy (£ 129.07 ft.) of the small displacement of 1197 cc, but on average only 5.5 liters of fuel per 100 km (42 , 77 mpg U.S.). Most engines with spark ignition powerful Audi A3 and A3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI with a capacity of 147 kW (200 hp).
The range extends from TDI 1.6 TDI 66 kW (90 hp) 2.0 TDI, whose power is 125 kW (170 hp). The range of engines more powerful 1.6 TDI with 77 kW (105 hp). It 'available in several versions, the cheaper it is an average of 3.8 liters of fuel per 100 km (61.90 U.S. mpg) is a three-door Audi A3. In detail the changes in the body and the platform to promote this excellent shape, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of just 99 grams per kilometer (159.33 g / mile).

1.4 TFSI 92 kW (125 hp)
1.8 TFSI and 1.8 TFSI quattro 118 kW (160 hp)

2.0 TDI and 2.0 TDI quattro 103 kW (140 hp)
2.0 TDI and 2.0 TDI quattro with 125 kW (170 hp)
The range of transmission technologies is also diverse. Most versions of the engine of the Audi A3 model series are paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Audi offers many of the engines extremely fast and convenient electronic shift S. Shift paddles on the steering wheel is standard on the Ambition line. Depending on the version of the engine with a dual-clutch transmission with six or seven speeds. The seven-speed version uses dry clutches, the withdrawal of oil supply further improves the transmission is already highly efficient.
Transmission of electric power to all four wheels also highlight the unique role that enjoys the Audi A3 premium compact class. Audi quattro permanent four-wheel drive deliver four engine versions. Its electronically controlled multi-plate clutch, mounted on the rear axle weight distribution of interest, send most of the engine power to the front wheels in normal driving conditions. If necessary, the direction of torque quickly and flexibly to the rear wheels.

Frame
The chassis of the Audi model range combines a sporty A3 with supreme confidence and comfort level. Accuracy and maintenance of the mother of the solutions developed as a four-link rear suspension, which manages the longitudinal and transverse forces independently and electromechanical power steering, which is as sensitive as effective.
All front-wheel drive versions, the ESP electronic stabilization program incorporates electronic differential lock. This solution uses intelligent software applications small brake barely detectable to manage how the torque is distributed between the wheels when the limit on the corners to avoid understeer, improve traction and further improve driving safety.
For engines developing 103 kW (140 hp) upwards, Audi provides the control system Audi magnetic ride adaptive damping, which uses the electromagnetic properties of a fluid. The dampers can be adjusted to a comfortable or sporty characteristic. Within these parameters, the system adjusts the damping force in a few milliseconds depending on driving conditions and style of the driver. The body has been lowered by 15 millimeters (0.59).
Sports suspension and the suspension decided conventional line voltage S Sport quattro GmbH are available. The wheels are available in sizes up to 18 inches - another offer from quattro GmbH.

Equipment and finishing
The wide range of high quality options demonstrates the high technological level of the Audi A3 model series. These include the dynamic cornering light system adaptive light xenon plus headlights, the assistant beam and the navigation system plus with MMI operating logic. It calculates routes particularly rapidly, has higher resolution graphics and three-dimensional features of the map.
Parking assistant is another very interesting feature. When driving at low speeds (up to 30 km / h 18.64 km), ultrasound sensors scan the parking spaces along the street, when it detects that it is large enough to become, if it means that the instrument panel. All the driver has only to do the opposite and use the clutch brake and gas - the car is moving independently and accurately the state.
