THE A3's large boot is accessed by a high-opening tailgate and can be extended with a 60/40 split-fold feature and flip-forward rear seat for a long, flat floor. There is no centre storage console but the doors have open and covered bins. Storage space is improved by under-seat trays, with a first aid kit located under the front passenger's seat. The glovebox has two compartments and is lockable, while there are storage nets standard on the front seat backs. A further neat touch is the special compartment for the car's documents under the steering wheel.
