2010 Audi A3
The 2010 Audi A3 2.0 TDI gets a substantial 30 mpg in city driving and 42 mpg in highway driving, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency's latest figures. These rates are actually similar to that of a Volkswagen Jetta TDI with the DSG gearbox -- not at all surprising since the A3 shares its underpinnings and powertrain with the VW. The diesel-powered Jetta comes with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the A3 TDI will only be offered with the dual-clutch (or "S-tronic" in Audi-speak) unit. The A3 could give the Lexus HS 250h some competition in the eco-friendly luxury segment. The A3, which carries a base price of under $30,000 will reach dealers in North America this December.
