Then, TheCarConnection.com’s editors added own driving impressions--to help you decide which reviews are credible, to bring out details that other reviewers might have missed, and to give you the best advice where other reviews are in conflict. |

| Road Test |
The 2008 Audi A3 is essentially the same car Audi introduced back in the 2006 model year. The smallest wagon in its lineup, the A3 Audi is derived from the Volkswagen Rabbit but sports tighter styling, a big Audi four-ringed grille up front, and a sleeker roofline.
