The Audi A3 first appeared in North America for the 2006 model year in a neat and tidy package - resembling a cross between a Jetta Wagon and an A4. The A3 used a transverse front wheel drive layout with an optional Quattro all-wheel-drive setup added to the lineup in 2009. Honestly with the 2.0T, power is low enough that the Quattro vehicles are slower in almost any condition except snow due to the added weight. The A3 is one of the few cars that the front-drive version may actually be more fun to drive than the all-wheel-drive spec because while both are understeering pigs at the limit, only the front driver can do a massive burnout from a dead stop.

Today's Mid Week Match-Up is a request from tipper Zach who writes: DT commentariat - I am in need of your wise council - It
has been requested that we procure a more quiet car, as my wife can't
hear what our daughter is saying from the back seat. Sure, our daughter
could speak up a bit, but it'll be hard to undo that decade of
Norwegian death metal cranked to 11 that was indulged in (or something
approximating that). We've got a '95 Saab 9000 Aero and a '92 Volvo
245. The 245 never was the quietest car (queue my shock going back to a
244 at how quiet it was), and while I don't think the Saab is bad, with
the ingredients I've mentioned above, she has a hard time hearing. So
what would you recommend? My wife's initial suggest was a Prius. I'm
somewhat agnostic on the whole thing, and also saddened at the thought
of parting with the 245 (did I mention the '66 Amazon rolling
restoration / daily driver I picked up a while back? we don't need three cars and an old (and not-quiet) RV). So something 'lectric? Something 'Yota-derived? Budget $10k max.
