Cash for a Cachet – the 2011 Audi A3 TDI

There are many reasons to purchase the 2011 Audi A3 TDI: style, efficiency, status and comfort. The reason not to purchase it? Price. But that may be enough to send you shopping elsewhere. The Audi A3 TDI is an excellent car, one of the leaders in its class. But if you care to allocate your $30,000 more economically, look elsewhere.
The description of most engines begins with a technical run-down of the gears and gimmicks. For the Audi A3 TDI, however, the spiel must begin with fuel economy. The turbodiesel powerplant garners 42 mpg on the highway, an astronomical figure on par with many more expensive hybrids. The turbodiesel engine also serves up a prodigious amount of torque, which affords the A3 TDI burly power at low-to-medium speeds. On the highway, however, due to the limited horsepower and FWD drivetrain, the Audi lacks energy, with a 0-60 dash at an apathetic 8.9 seconds. Its performance remains invariably precise and incredibly poised, but is more docile than dynamic.
Safety awards shower the 2011 Audi A3, topped by a revered “2011 Top Safety Pick” award from the IIHS. Notable highlights of the A3 include extraordinarily capable brakes, sophisticated active safety systems, and airbags for all passengers.
Audi’s interiors are renowned for their universal appeal and simple, ergonomic design. The A3 is no different. Its interior is quiet and calm, with every soft surface and control button impeccably placed for constant comfort and easy access. Aesthetically and ergonomically, the A3 TDI excels. However, the Audi A3 fails to offer class-competitive features. One must step up to the topnotch Premium Plus trim to obtain Bluetooth, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, or even a powered driver’s seat, amenities often standard in cars costing $5,000 – $10,000 less. This is unacceptable in a vehicle bearing the Audi marque.
A car matters more than cachet, but buyers are paying an extra $5,000 for Audi prestige, which may not be entirely earned.
