Insight to 2010 Audi A3

The 2010 Audi A3 will be a value addition to the strong lineup of Audi, which will retain the Typ 8PA 3.2L VR6 engine capable of churning out 247 hp of power. Initially the A3 was available only as a three door hatchback, but over time high performance versions of the A3 were rolled out.

Currently, the 2010 A3 incorporates the PQ35 platform Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), as well as 6-speed manual gearshift. It will be offered in front wheel drive and an optional all-wheel drive.

What's more, there are plenty of options in terms of features, styling and powertrain as the 2010 A3 will be offered with choice of Quattro on-demand four wheel drive, and S-Tronic semi-auto gearbox.

During the last two decades, Audi A3 has been a consistent performer, offering great reliability to its customers throughout the world.

Currently, the petrol engine will be offered in the European and Asian markets, while a diesel variant is expected to be available in UK and few other European countries; otherwise the standard gasoline version of the vehicle will be seen across the world.

The new A3 will have sufficient power for the usual needs, though definitely not too much for the speedsters and those who're crazy about extreme power and high speed maneuvering. What will be more interesting is the response that it receives from the customers in the higher segments.

Only time can tell whether the 2010 Audi A3 will be really able to live up to the expectations of its countless fans, or is it going to be another ordinary release from Audi this year that would fail to deliver just what the doctor ordered!
