Santa Ana, CA July 31, 2012 – Commonwealth Audi in California has announced that the 2013 Audi A3 is slated to appear in its Santa Ana show room next October. A preview of the 2013 Audi A3 will be available to Audi fans at the Paris Motor Show this October, and the model will be available for purchase one year from then.
“The 2013 Audi A3 has a lot of new features to offer drivers and will definitely make an impression,” says Commonwealth Audi General Manager Matt Crandall. “We are excited for the upcoming preview and to prepare for its arrival next year.”
The 2013 Audi A3 will be available in a five-door Sportback and a four-door small sedan. The new version uses the new VW Group MQB architecture. With this new design, the front axle moved slightly forward giving the front passenger increased legroom. In the recent development of the A3, a primary goal has been to lower the overall weight and the new models have dropped over 100 pounds. Because of Audi’s space frame aluminum-steel construction, much of the front end components of the compact segment now consist of aluminum, making the A3 much lighter.
Every model is created equal. At least that’s what Audi is saying with the new A3. Practically every option available for the Audi A6, A7, and A8 will now be available on the A3. MMI touch technology is now integrated onto the top of the mouse-rheostat on the console. All safety and convenience systems will also be incorporated into the MMI system with each of them able to be calibrated separately instead of adopting a single default threshold. The latest pop-up MMI’s screen is just 11mm thick, which is about the width of a smart phone. Speaking of your phone, a cable is no longer needed to connect it to the 2013 A3. All you have to do is place the phone in the Audi console phone box and you are good to go.
Audi is also taking passenger protection one step further. Audi has integrated front sensor technology to allow the car to halt itself while traveling at slower speeds if it senses an imminent collision. In addition, all onboard connectivity systems now use a QNX proprietary system developed with the German group Harman Becker rather than Windows in order to avoid viruses and other security issues.
Interested customers can learn more about the new 2013 Audi A3 at Commonwealth Audi in Santa Ana, California.

Santa Ana, CA June 29, 2012 – Volkswagen has once again made the popular list. The expert editors from Kelley Blue Book’s www.kbb.com, the leading provider of new car and used car information, have named the 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000. In this annual list published by Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com, the editors ranked the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta #10 out of the 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000.
The economy is at a near-standstill and gas prices are through the roof, but regardless of financial constraints or economic hardships, the simple fact remains that car shoppers want their new ride to be cool. That is why now, more than ever, kbb.com’s annual list of the 10 Coolest Cars under $18,000 is in tune with the times, providing a great selection of cars that are not only affordable, but also fun.
“While there are many affordable new cars available today for less than $18,000, the list gets much more narrow and exclusive when you view it through the difficult-to-describe lens of what is cool,” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com.
Kelley Blue Book had lots to say about the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta including how much they enjoyed the European driving feel, the full spectrum of technical and connectivity features, and clean tasteful design that won’t go out of style any time soon.
Two criteria — fun-to-drive and fun-to-own — are critical among the deciding factors of what the editors freely admit is a very subjective “cool factor,” the over-arching number-one criterion for a vehicle to place on this list. Each vehicle is available for purchase at $18,000 or less, using Kelley Blue Book’s exclusive Fair Purchase Price as the yardstick.
“We are excited to share the news with local Volkswagen drivers,” says Commonwealth Volkswagen General Manager, Mike Westbrook. “Jetta drivers have always appreciated the ride, comforts, and design of the Jetta, and it is great to have the model officially recognized by such an important industry partner.”
