Quick Drive: Audi A3 TDI Beats Hybrids on the Highway

 AudiA3-0655.jpg

The Audi A3 TDI puts hybrids to shame on the highway. This little turbo-diesel station wagon gets 42 mpg with a 600-mile cruising range on the highway. Around town, it’s rated at a reasonable, albeit less-than-hybrid, 30 mpg. Minimum buy-in runs just over $30,000 for something about the size of (pardon the crude comparison) an old Saturn station wagon. For the price you do get the industry’s most tasteful cockpit.
