Reviews of the 2009 Audi A3 2.0T Quattro
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2009 Audi A3 combines a magnetically controlled suspension with Quattro all-wheel-drive, dual-clutch transmission, and a direct-injection engine for excellent handling and performance. In the cabin, Audi offers a very useful Bluetooth system.
The Bad: The A3's cabin tech interface, the MMI, is tedious to use and limited in functionality. The navigation system is very basic, while the audio sources lack iPod integration or an MP3 CD player.
The Bottom Line: Audi has some fine cabin tech waiting in the wings, but it's not available on the 2009 Audi A3. Still, the car offers an excellent driving experience and the practical configuration of a small wagon.
