My Passat was getting serviced and I had some time to kill so wandered over to the nearby Audi dealership to check out the current 2015 A3 sedan and ended up taking it for a test drive.
Overall thoughts:
1) Decent pickup (amazing torque) and great handling for the car.
2) Interiors: Nice level of trim, a slight downgrade from my 2012 Passat in a few areas but nicer than the equivalent Golf TDI and GTI.
3) Backseats: The rear seats are a joke IMO for something that aspires to be an entry luxury car. I'm 5'8 and with the front seats adjusted accordingly I was not even close to being able to sit in the back seats. Not even small kids I could imagine would be able to sit comfortably there.
