1998 Audi A3 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers have a positive view of the 1998 Audi A3. Many appreciate its sporty look and versatility, along with the strong performance and reliability of its 1.8 turbo engine. However, some mentioned the parts can be pricey and noted that the car can understeer. The compact size is both liked and sometimes felt larger from the driver's seat than it is. Despite some minor issues, it’s considered a fun car to drive, especially for students and those looking for a reliable vehicle."
The perfect car for a student. Especially with the diesel engines. Perfect performance, low fuel consumption. The only minor problem is that sometimes the spare parts of Audi are not that cheap as those of other car makers. A good car overall.
November 2, 2010Very smooth quick car. Lovely to drive, extremely solid chassis. Easily tuned up, Defo could use a remap to 200bhp. Handles very well. Would only recommend the turbo or TDI 1.9. Standard models seem to boring and fairly gutless. Excellent car for money though. Recommend especially to women
June 3, 2012Cheap hot hatch. 1.8 turbo bullet proof engine, easy to modify and upgrade cheaply. Good handling, ride, build quality and very, very reliable. Petrol not to bad, average 25 MPG combined thrashing and easy. Prefer this original model as is lighter and more basic.

February 18, 2009Despite its 2-door hatchback construction, it's a pretty versatile little car. Looks sporty, but it's just an ordinary transportation unit...
July 5, 2008It is a nice car, actually nice might be an understatement. This is a 1.8T automatic. The vehicle is very good, extremely study build quaility, good performance and good mileage. The car is fun to drive but understeers a lot, a problem seen in most other Audis of that era. The turning circle is not a big one but it is sufficient, the thing that bugs me a bit is that when you are sitting behind the wheel the car seems bigger than it actually is. In time you get used to that. We installed a direct injection LPG power and the car runs extremely smooth, we get 12/100 l. intown and 9/100 l. outside of the city. The parts are expensive as with all Audis.
