Audi A3 awarded Car of the Year

The judges at the magazine awarded the German-manufactured car the 36th Car of the Year award, in the annual awards on Wednesday. The A3 Sportback was also awarded the title of Small Family Car of the Year. It was exemplified as being a new standard for family friendly, compact hatchbacks.

Editor in chief of What Car?, Chas Hallett, commented: "The Audi A3 Sportback mixes excellent refinement and an accomplished driving experience with easily the finest cabin quality ever seen in a small family hatchback... It sets a new benchmark and it is keenly priced, a combination that makes it a worthy Car of the Year."

In other sections of the awards, Audi also picked up the award for best coupe with their TT model. This is the seventh time they have received this accolade.

At the same time, auto-giant Ford received four awards. First to be bestowed was the award for best family car, which was awarded to the Mondeo. The Focus ST-1 was awarded the best hot hatch, the Fiesta was awarded the best supermini, and the Mondeo Estate was awarded the best estate car.
