A3/S3/RS3 [Official] 2013 Audi A3 Sportback

[Deckhook]

^+1. Sportback should be given to those with a sportier stance and the rest should be called Avant.

I knew the Audi expert would be you Tumbo, haha. What was the A3 5-door called previously? Where I live we only got the 5-door so it was always just the "A3".

Oh and the A1 is considered a sportback as well :/

The first A3 (1996-2003) was a 3-door and 5-door version. No names. As it should be actually.
And that A1 Sportback name is ridiculous. Its just a damn 5door A1! Whats so sporty about that back?

Basic A3's now get torsion-beam suspension??? is it true?

 

[MarcinM]

German Audi site says (through google translate) that 1,4 A3 get a 4 link rear suspension I guess this is a multi link.

Quote: "Basic A3s now get Torsion beam Suspension". This is reported in an erroneous context. As far as I know only the base 1.2 TSI A3 gets torsion beam suspension. All other FWD models have the familiar 4-link setup.

I think it's as Martin said. It seems to be VAG's new (stupid) policy, as it's the same with other models as well. For example, the 1.4TFSI Beettle comes with torsion beam, yet the 2.0TFSI comes with multilink rear suspension. Go figure...

I saw one at the dealership today in 'Brilliant Red' with the S-line sports package. It looked like a ridiculously classy hot hatch.

That's because this is the classiest hatch around. The A3 owns the premium hatch segment.

There was nothing to fix, Klier. You're just being obstinate for the sake of it.

"Classy" means stylish and elegant. Of course it's in reference to looks.
