2010 Audi A3 2.0T Premium quattro S tronic

The Audi A3 is an entry-level luxury car/small family car produced by the German automaker Audi since 1996. Two generations of A3 exist, both based on the Volkswagen Group A platform, which they share with several other models such as the Audi TT, Volkswagen Golf, Caddy and Touran as well as _koda Octavia and SEAT León.

In 2008, Audi introduced a number of changes to the A3 and S3. These include revised nose and tail styling, with a modified grille and the new ''trademark'' daylight brow headlights, common rail 2.0 TDI engines, 7-speed S-tronic transmission availability for the smaller engines, and optional ''magnetic ride'' adaptive shock absorbers. In addition, the range now includes an S3 Sportback model.
