We invite you to examine the 2008 A3 closely. Check the gap tolerances. Listen closely when you close the doors. Run your hand over its smooth paint. No doubt about it: This is a German luxury car through and through. From its bold singleframe grille to its discreet rear spoiler, every bit an Audi. From its S line-specific bumpers to its roof-mounted spoiler to special badging, there’s no doubt this A3 is designed to turn heads. And that’s before you experience the Sport suspension. Proud beneficiary of the design and performance expertise of quattro GmbH, an A3 with the S line package demonstrates to one and all the jewel-like precision of your decision. From brushed aluminum trim, well-bolstered Sport seats with leather seating surfaces, a power driver’s seat with lumbar adjustments and more, this A3 makes its intention clear. Even before you turn the key. And then we take it to the next level – with options such as the distinctive Titanium package. From 18" titanium-colored, seven-arm double-spoke wheels, a black grille, Piano Black interior trim and a black headliner, Titanium rules. For S line package devotees, a logical next step.

With interior touches from the TT, the MMI® logic of the A8, the material excellence typical of all our cars, dual-zone climate controls and optional heated front seats, the 2008 A3 makes it rather obvious that our goals match yours. After all, bigger isn't always better. Luxury, you see, isn't a function of size; and yet size mandates an evergreater need to pay attention to each and every detail. From its driver-centric cockpit to the intuitiveness of every switch and dial, an ergonomic and aesthetic gem. With an athleticism that positively begs you to settle in,
turn the key and go.

With optional Audi Navigationplus, getting around town or finding a great Thai restaurantis easy. Thanks to the MMI inspired logic of our controls.

Ourgoal with all of this technology is simple: Make it accessible.And make it super easy to use.

Whether you opt for the Sport seats in the S line package orthe supportive seats of the 2.0 T Premium package, rest assured you’re getting the same attention to every stitch, every detail found in all of our cars. To our way of thinking, seats are a vital component in making sure you’re alert and attentive.

With 10 speakers, complete with an in-fill subwoofer, the Audi Symphony does everything but demand astanding ovation.

You can endlessly debate handling prowess and the merits offront-, rear- and all-wheel drive. But when the weather turns, the debate ends. After years of real-world experience, we’re firmly convinced that the tractive power of front-wheel drive and legendary quattro® all-wheel drive offer a superior skill setwhen conditions are less than ideal. To our way of thinking, it's all about taking a more aggressive approach to handling. In addition to championing front- and all-wheel drive, Audi has spent years sharpening the handling skills of our cars. With MacPherson struts up front and a four-link suspension with separated shocks and springs at the rear, the A3 reads roads with uncanny precision. The Sport suspension on S line models further pinpoints handling. In addition to mechanical brilliance, the A3 benefits from an Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) that providesyet another level of control. Whether it’s a trip across town orone across the country, the A3 shines. It all adds up to a driving experience where grinning comes standard.
