20 Great Vehicles From 2015

5. Audi A3

The Audi A3 leads the pack when it comes to entry level luxury vehicles. A 170-hp 1.8-liter turbo four-cylinder engine, with front wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission are standard. No manual transmission is offered. A 220 horsepower four-cylinder engine with all-wheel drive is optional, for a higher price and if you’re willing to sacrifice gas mileage. The steering is precise, with no numb spots in the wheel, giving superior control over the vehicle. The suspension is tuned for a luxury car, with the soul of a sports car. Road imperfections are not noticed at all when traveling rough roads, and there is no discernible body roll around sharp corners. The A3 received high marks across the board from critics and consumers, making it a great choice for a daily driver or a first car for a teen driver.
