As far as high-end hatchback-wagons go, the 2011 Audi A3 definitely carves out a niche with its outstanding fuel economy, premium appointments and overall versatility.

Drivers have two engines to choose from, starting with an award-winning 2.0-liter, 200-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine (2.0T). For those who love saving money on gas, there is the torque-heavy diesel A3 TDI features a 2.0-liter, 140-horsepower engine, which pumps out 236 pound-feet of torque for brisk acceleration. Drivetrain options include a six-speed manual and a fast-shifting, six-speed dual-clutch S Tronic transmission, as well as two- and Quattro all-wheel drive systems. The 2011 A3 achieves 21-30 mpg in the city and 28-42 mpg on the highway. The stellar ratings come from the diesel engine, which far outpaces the Volvo V50 and BMW 3 series Sports Wagons on mileage.

Those who want sporty looks will appreciate the athletic S-line trim being applied to all models for 2011. Both the Premium and Premium Plus models feature excellent build quality and fine materials. Features include leather seats with suede-like Alcantara inserts, wood trim, xenon headlamps, a ten-speaker stereo, six-CD changer, port for portable media devices and memory card slot for MP3 playback. The Titanium Sport Package adds sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch seven-spoke wheels and sport seats, among other treats. The available Open Sky dual moonroof lets in the warm sunshine, while dual zone automatic climate control keeps things cool.

The Cold Weather Package is highlighted by heated front seats, while the Convenience Package brings automatic wipers and an upgraded BOSE® audio system. The available navigation system features a 6.25-inch LCD screen with 3D map display and SIRIUS traffic. Three- and four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheels make guiding the 2011 A3 a great pleasure. Interior room is highlighted 20 cubic feet of luggage space, which expands to 39 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.

The 2011 Audi A3 carries over the features that helped the 2010 model earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick designation, such as robust aluminum architecture, six standard airbags, child safety rear door locks and tire pressure monitoring system. Audi’s Electronic Stabilization Program and antilock brakes help the A3 maintain grip and avoid accidents.

Finding a premium hatchback-wagon that can reach 42 mpg on the highway just got easier with the family-friendly and fun 2011 Audi A3.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
