Highlights
THIS… is a 2008 Audi A3 2.0T, finished in Brilliant Black with a black interior.
- The attached Carfax history report lists no accidents or mileage discrepancies in this A3’s past. It also confirms it’s been registered mostly in California since new.
- According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, factory equipment includes the Cold Weather and Convenience packages, 17-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control. Modifications reported by the seller include a custom cat-back exhaust, black finish on the wheels, and red-painted brake calipers.
- While the first-generation A3 was not offered in the United States, Audi of America tested the waters by launching the second-generation model for 2006. It was marketed as a smaller and more affordable alternative to the A4. Reviews at the time praised the A3’s engaging handling, punchy engines, and an interior that was both upscale and practical.
- Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4, rated at 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the front wheels via a 6-speed S Tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission.
