AudiWorld is offering you a road test of the Audi A3 Sportback.
Audi felt that North America was ready for its premium compact car and our wait is finally over – in May 2005 the Audi A3 Sportback officially went on sale across the United States and Canada. Audi enthusiasts may not be completely happy with the initial configuration being offered, but after testing the A3 during the press launch in Los Angles we can report that the A3 has definitely been worth the wait.
“It is not an inexpensive, cheap Audi” states Audi of America Vice President Johan de Nysschen, responding the perception that the A3 is going to be an entry level car. The A3 Sportback, de Nysschen points out, sacrifices nothing in terms of engineering, material and craftsmanship qualities compared to its bigger brothers.
The Audi A3 Sportback looks great in red with the Open Sky roof system like seen above! It’s really awesome.
