Used 2019 Audi A3 for Sale in Santa Maria, CA - Autotrader

The 2019 Audi A3 comes as a premium subcompact sedan or a 2-door/4-seat <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/convertible/2019/audi/a3" target="_blank">convertible (called a cabriolet)</a>. The sedan is the gateway to brand-new Audi ownership. All those familiar Audi characteristics are in evidence. The A3 has neat styling for both the exterior and interior, high-quality materials assembled to luxury car standards and a confidence-inspiring driving experience. The same goes for the cabriolet, except that it’s also a fun soft-top runaround. This generation of A3 is due replacement soon, however. It’s a situation that brings positives, as well as negatives. Some buyers will want to wait and see how the new model looks and behaves (probably better than this one), while others may take advantage of the relatively timeless styling and negotiate a cool deal on the outgoing model. For 2019, the entry level Premium trim gains Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration and a new design of 5-spoke/17-in alloy wheels. Premium Plus receives full LED headlights, wireless charging and a signal booster. The Prestige trim now has a self-steering parking system. Cabriolet (convertible) models get high-gloss aluminum window surrounds as standard. The optional Convenience package now includes blind spot monitoring, LED interior lighting and high-gloss aluminum window surrounds. The A3 E-tron Sportback plug-in hybrid hatchback has been discontinued.

<h4>Autotrader’s Advice:</h4> Some things are too good to do without. The Virtual Cockpit is reason enough to get the Technology package that accompanies the Premium Plus trim. Buyers can make up their own minds if they want a metal roof or not. A new generation is expected for 2020.
<p></p>
<h4>What We Like:</h4> Overall premium feel; satisfying driving experience; respectable fuel consumption; impressive crash test performance; panoramic sunroof (for the sedan) and leather come as standard.
<p></p>
<h4>What We Don’t:</h4> Small trunk; dashboard seems sparse; options are pricey.
<p></p>
<h4>Original MSRP:</h4> $33,495-$48,095 (when new).
<p></p>
<h4>MPG:</h4> The basic 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is found in front-wheel-drive versions. It produces 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque and is linked to a 7-speed dual-clutch (automated manual) transmission. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel consumption estimates for the 2019 A3 were unavailable at the time of compiling this review, but last year’s figures — 26 miles per gallon in the city, 35 mpg on the highway and 29 mpg in combined driving — should be close enough. The 2018 cabriolet version achieved 25 mpg city/33 mpg hwy/28 mpg combined.
<p></p>
Quattro all-wheel-drive versions have a more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that develops 220 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The transmission here is a 6-speed dual-clutch unit and the (2018) EPA rating is 24 mpg city/31 mpg hwy/27 mpg combined for the sedan, or 22 mpg city/30 mpg hwy/25 mpg combined for the cabriolet.
<p></p>
Both engines have a stop/start feature.
<p></p>
<h4>Standard Features &amp; Options:</h4> The 2019 Audi A3 comes in Premium, Premium Plus or Prestige trims. Adding AWD and the more powerful engine costs around $3,000. A Sport package contains sport seats, Audi Drive Select (separate driving modes from Comfort to Sport) and a flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle shifters. A lowered sport suspension and rear-passenger thorax/side airbags are also available. The sedan’s trunk space measures 12.3 cu ft., although the AWD hardware knocks that down to 10 cu ft. That’s still easily enough for a couple of golf bags. The cabriolet offers 9.9 cu ft. with the roof up or 7.1 cu ft. when it’s folded away.

<p></p>
<h4>Safety:</h4> Thanks to its chassis and airbag setup (which includes knee airbags for the front occupants, plus side airbags with inflatable curtains), the A3 sedan earned a Top Safety Pick Plus accolade from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), with top scores of “Good” across the board. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the sedan a maximum five stars overall, with four stars for front impact protection, five for side impacts and four in the rollover test. The cabriolet has not been crash tested.
<p></p>
<h4>Behind the Wheel:</h4> Although its interior comes across as somewhat small, the A3 sedan feels well-proportioned and has sufficient rear room to encourage prolonged drives with four passengers, largely thanks to the car’s more conventional C-pillar, which doesn’t emulate the coupe-like look currently in fashion. Extensive use of aluminum helps keep a check on weight, so acceleration and handling benefit significantly. When enhanced by AWD, the A3 tackles twisty roads with strong grip and precise changes of direction. Body control is excellent, making the A3 feel as capable of attacking a curvy canyon road as a sports car. The soft-top cabriolet seats four (as opposed to the sedan’s five), but accommodation in the back is limited by needing somewhere to stow the folded roof. When the roof is up, it does a good job of keeping noise at civilized levels.
