However I just realized the base price of the A3 was for an FWD version ($32,800), so yeah, 37K for an AWD one. A little less than a 10K difference.... but probably worth it IMO. That isn't crazy money or anything.
Besides, the A3 is a legitimately smaller car than the Impreza and unlike the Subaru motor the Audi 2.0t is bullet proof.
Audi A3: 70.5"W X 176"L
Impreza: 70"W x 182"L
The Audi is half a foot shorter, that is pretty substantial
