From consumerreports.org:

The new A3 is based on the redesigned VW Rabbit/GTI and Jetta. Starting at $25,000, common options easily carry it over $30,000. It is a small package with a tasteful interior and generous power output. This versatile front-wheel-drive hatchback is powered by a gutsy turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The Direct Shift Gearbox transmission, a manual that shifts automatically, works very well. We found the A3 to be quite nimble and quick, but the steering is too light at low speeds. A powerful all-wheel-drive version with a 3.2-liter V6 is also available. IIHS crash-test results are impressive.
So you have to get the big motor if you want AWD.
