the REAL A3 Sportback revealed

Thanks for all the nice work! Must say that I don't care for the "guppy grill" which is also reflected in the center section of the steering wheel. The A3 will have to have a real handling edge over the A4 or I'll likely stay with the A4 series.

You're welcome. Lucky you if you can afford an S3 or RS3! About the handling: I think the A3 communicates more directly than the A4 series. That's both in a positive ( steering, handling in general, sportier experience ) as wel as in a negative ( ride is quite abrupt if the car has the 17-inch wheels and low profile tires ) sense. So it depends on personal preferences which car you'll prefer.

A road test on the three-door A3 can also be found on my site.
