Reviews SummaryThe 2022 Audi A3 is a premium compact sedan entering a new generation of production. The four-door is available in three trim levels, including the higher-performance S3 variant, with a starting price at $33,900 and going to $51,500. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard on the A3, while Quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) is available on the A3 and standard on the S3. Audi has added upscale features, both standard and available, to give its entry-level compact sedan more of a premium presence. | |
Reviews SummaryIt’s true the 2023 Honda Accord doesn’t have all-wheel drive, a third-row seat, a big cargo area you can pack to the roof, or styling that suggests you live an adventurous lifestyle. If you want those things, spend thousands of dollars more for the Honda Pilot, which is less dynamic to drive and more expensive to own and operate. But, if you don’t need (or want) those things, consider the 11th generation 2023 Accord, which remains an excellent, if comparatively expensive, example of the traditional four-door family car. | |
