2014 Audi S3 Sportbrake

Compact Luxury - Hatch

    With a final score of 70%, the new S3 Sportback is sure to win the hearts of entry level Audi buyers.  Too bad Audi has to keep using the same design language for every car.  I guess that is why the R8 is the only Audi distinguishable from far away.
