i gotta say the audi exterior design looks cleaner but i like the interior of the bmw more

MGallop · 05-16-2012, 02:18 PM

same... but overall i think the audi wins this battle

peeti · 05-16-2012, 02:39 PM

Sadly for us US residents, it's a moot discussion, can't have either one of those.

NYC6 · 05-16-2012, 04:35 PM

Not a fan of the hatch in general but given the two choices, I prefer the styling of the Audi. Thats unusual for me as I always had preferred the BMW over its rival.

ken1137 · 05-16-2012, 04:49 PM

Nice! Too bad the Audi is not a BMW

in all seriousness I've always liked the A3 S-Line.

the1andonly · 05-16-2012, 05:03 PM

Ugh...those both look terrible. hatches just look akward. now both these cars in coupe form would be hot!

Venom · 05-16-2012, 06:08 PM

what's weird is outside they look near identical to me. even to the point where I am not sure what the first pic on top is. but overall I give it to Audi, because I think that area around the shifter is unique.
I like the last two pics the most

dtwyim · 05-16-2012, 07:24 PM

I like the Audi hatch better overall.

Nugget · 05-16-2012, 07:56 PM

The Audi hatch looks much better, which isn't hard as the BMW hatch is hideous imo.

infinitekidM2C · 05-16-2012, 08:02 PM

Audi A3 is win..

uberschnell · 05-16-2012, 08:13 PM

Think the A3 takes it in the looks category

Pangloss · 05-16-2012, 09:29 PM

What button do I press to lower the top?

bdoooh · 05-16-2012, 10:34 PM

Love hatches. Has to be unfortunately and live in the US.

bmw1racer · 05-16-2012, 10:39 PM

Bad location of the Start/Stop button on the Audi... You could accidentally hit it, I think.
