Audi A3 Sportback 1.4 TFSI COD 2017
The world is awash with stereotypes, and Audi drivers cop it hard. TT? Deep-pocketed hairdressers. R8? Deeper-pocketed mid-life-crisis-ists. A8? Jason Statham wannabes. A3? Bought by everyone else.
What we like
- Wagon-like practicality
- Good looks
- Engaging from behind the wheel
What we don't
- The best stuff is still optional
- Ride on 18-inch alloys can feel firm on city streets
- Jerky under hard acceleration

The automotive world is awash with cruel stereotypes, and Audi drivers get more than their fair share. Audi TT? Bought by deep-pocketed hairdressers. The R8? Even deeper-pocketed mid-life-crisis sufferers. A8? Jason Statham wannabes.
But the Audi A3? Well, that’s bought by everyone else.
The unsung hero of the Audi lineup is actually the brand’s best-selling model in Australia (by a country mile, no less), shifting almost twice as many units as its nearest competitor, and more than 6,500 total in 2016.
Explore the 2017 Audi A3 range
The A3 range was overhauled last year, with Audi stealing technology and features from its more expensive models - including its impressive virtual cockpit - and refreshing the exterior styling in an effort to keep its most popular model exactly that.
So we spent a week with the $39,900 A3 Sportback 1.4 TFSI COD S tronic (catchy, no?) to see how it measures up.
Verdict
Good looking, engaging and with plenty of space inside, the A3 Sportback 1.4 TFSI COD S tronic is a tempting premium proposition. And it’s more tempting still if you’re willing to tick a couple of options boxes along the way, and pay a bit extra.
