Its rounded shape broke the mould of square-ish sedans and wagons which personified Audi up until then. Of course, the fabulous TT has since shattered the mould altogether. The five-door A3 arrived here in 1999. There was no change to dimensions to facilitate the added flexibility, Audi simply shortening the front doors by 181mm. Did you know?Despite its prestige positioning, Audi is not immune from VW boss Ferdinand Piech's multi-platforming strategy, which means the A3 1.8T's engine and underpinnings can also be found under the VW Golf and Beetle, Seat Leon, Skoda Octavia, and the sexy Audi TTAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
