Audi A3 Sportback Loved by Leno and Shelby

What happens when you bring together a seamless blend of muscularity, versatility, and technology?  You reach the pinnacle of performance and efficiency, showcased in the 2011 Audi A3.  Its athletic posture and conveniently large rear hatch provide the best of both worlds for an exhilarating set of turns, or a luggage-packed daily commute.  The wondrously fuel-efficient TDI models showcase an EPA-rated 42-mpg on the highway, while boasting an impressive 236 ft-lbs of torque!  The gasoline-powered 2.0 turbo edition packs 200hp and still manages 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, with a starting base MSRP as low as $27,270.00.

The A3’s versatile exterior pairs well with any adventure-seeking excursions, while once inside, you’re reminded of the luxurious setting that comes with the Audi badge.  Option for the Premium Trim and you will find yourself wrapping your hands tightly around a fine hand-stitched, leather-wrapped, steering wheel, while listening to the automatically adjusting 140-watt 10-speaker sound system.  If that still is not enough, opt for the premium Bose sound system, 8-way power driver’s seat and 18” rims.  Of course, versatility means the ability to adapt to all climates.  The A3’s Cold Weather package provides heated mirrors and washer nozzles, as well variable heated seats, featuring six different levels of warmth.  Plus, you can always opt for Audi’s prestigious S-line for the ultimate in performance styling.

Once seated in the driver’s seat you can feast your eyes on the A3’s chic black gauges, accented by the easy to read red needles.  The driver information system conveniently shows real-time mpg, outdoor temperature, as well as navigation direction, giving you a clear view of all of the important information while keeping your eyes focused on the road ahead.

Underneath the shell of the A3, you will enjoy the A3’s Servotronic speed-sensitive electromechanical power steering system.  Audi’s advanced Electronic Stablization Program provides the driver and their passengers with the utmost confidence in every turn.  Those who want even more performance can choose the A3’s quattro all-wheel drive model.

While it is easy to be entirely captivated by the A3’s stylish power performance, did I mention the Audi A3 was the 2010 Green Car of the Year?  Who can argue with well-know power enthusiast Jay Leno and Carroll Shelby?
