Audi A3 (8P1) Hatchback (2003-2008)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Audi A3 (Typ 8P1) is an affordable compact hatchback in production from 2003 to 2008, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and VR6 engines that displaced 1.4 to 3.2 liters.
Just like the Mk1 A3, the Mk2 A3 is essentially a premium version of the Mk5 VW Golf in 3-door form. Audi distinguished the 5-door version with the "Sportback" nameplate. New was VW's VR6 compact 6-cylinder engine that has some characters of an I6 but is more compact. It is the one engine to get, though owners should be mindful that the compact crankshaft means that the bearings are also smaller, leading to a shorter lifespan.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Audi A3 (8P1) has fully independent suspensions only in quattro AWD guise.
