DON'T BUY THE A3 ETRON
The hybrid battery is a joke. It only charges for 15 miles. There are numerous electrical issues with these cars which is probably why they stopped making them

Best performing car I've owned, bar none!
If you want a sporty high-performing car that gets over 100mpg in short trips, this is the car for you! Amazingly corners and the fastest car from a dead-stop of any car I've owned and this is of course due largely to the fact it is a high-performing hybrid.

45mpg total average
I really liked this cars overall performance and fuel economy. Only filled up gas every 3-4 weeks and mostly used the 20mile electric range daily with barely used gas. Long trips I still was able to get 35-40mpg’s. The A3 body type is a little small but hope to see the Q3 in the plugin hybrid soon.

Most enjoyable to drive and economic car I've had
This car is perfect for me at this time as it provides electric only range in the summer of about 25 miles which is a way beyond what I need to commute to work and provides a long range of over 500 miles on one tank of gas and with fully charged battery.

Performance oriented PEHV but falls short
If you work from home and drive less than 15 miles per day this is excellent as you would be running on battery exclusively. On longer range trips its a hybrid and I averaged 44 miles per gallon combined. Considerably better driving performance 0-60 6.5 sec than other less expensive hybrids, but less mpg. I had the sports package and it handled well but a bit rough on the road with 18" tires. Its a niche car!

Nice for everyday use or long trips.
This car has great styling. It does sit low to the ground this gives it an aggressive appearance. With front seats forward about halfway rear seat legroom is not to bad.

Gr8 VW SportWagen TDI Replacement
Upon selling our SportWagen back to VW as part of the TDI settlement, we went shopping for something similar. The choice boiled down to a wagon style vehicle with lots of cargo space and so-so (or just plain awful) gas mileage versus less cargo space and better gas mileage. Ultimately we chose the latter and, with some hesitancy, invested in a lightly used 2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron Prestige. Our hesitancy was to buy something in the VW family given the scandal but Audi had redeemed themselves with a women's equality ad during the Super Bowl. The car has more pick-up than our VW SportWagen. Lots more, even in electric only mode. It is loaded with features that make it much safer and substantially more luxurious than the SportWagen. The passenger compartment is a bit smaller and the cargo area about half the size. We have not yet installed a charger at home but are certain that once we do we will be able to drive electric locally most of the time. This will be good because the manufacturer recommends premium fuel, which can be as much as a dollar more per gallon than diesel. The mileage when running partially or completely on gas seems to be somewhere in the 35 to 45 mpg range, although we have not driven up on a road trip so far. While we are still learning how to use all the gizmos, we are very pleased with our purchase. (The 4 on reliability is a complete guess because we've only had the car a few weeks.)
