Reviews SummaryThe 2022 Audi A3 is a premium compact sedan entering an all-new generation of production. The four-door is available in three trim levels, with the same ones available in the higher-performance S3 variant, carrying a starting MSRP of $38,900 and going to $53,900. Quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) is standard, while a front-wheel drive (FWD) drivetrain is not offered in the Canadian market. Audi has added upscale features to this new car, both standard and available, to give its entry-level compact sedan more of a premium presence. | |
Reviews SummaryIt’s true the Honda Accord midsize sedan 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 SUV, 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. | |
