Other Choices

More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

If you're in the market for a wagonlike vehicle with sporting pretensions and can spend $30,000, there are some interesting choices outside of the 2009 Audi A3.

The 2010 Audi A3 doesn’t have a lot of competition in the U.S.

market.

The BMW 3-Series wagon—especially the fuel-efficient 335d—is one possibility, but it’s much more expensive.

The Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen is another alternative; it’s actually roomier inside and has a better ride, though it’s not nearly as sporty as the A3.

The Infiniti EX is either a crossover vehicle or tall wagon, depending on how you see it.

It has all-wheel drive as an option, but the base car is a rear-driver spun from the hot-handling G35 sedan, one of our favorite luxury sport sedans.

Yet another option would be the Acura RDX, a crossover that’s powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

The RDX has a roomier and better-appointed interior, but it doesn’t offer any fuel-efficient engine choices to rival the A3 TDI.
