Audi A3
For many, this Audi is one of the rare five-door automobiles to offer a superior driving experience, which is linked to the practical character of its body. And since the A3 is an Audi, the interior is much more luxurious than the average. For 2010, the V6 engine has been abandoned, but it will be possible to order a diesel engine version at some point over the course of the year. Among its strong points, note its DSG transmission, which is in a class of its own. It has been named 'Green car of the Year'
