All my trepidation of owning a diesel in a cold climate have melted away. Cold weather operations a breeze due to heated seats ( not like the seat warmers in my Q5) that even my wife had to turn down. Audi has an aux heater that starts blowing hot air in about 2-3 mins when it's -20. I commute everyday and fill my tank about once a month. The fuel economy is attractive paying for itself each time I fill-up.
Get yourself 1.

I drive vehicles sort of roughly. Not on the brakes but I like to go fast. Compared the the Lexus I had before, the Audi A3 2013 TDI premium hatchback couldn’t handle my need for speed very well. Great gas mileage and easy to remove the cats. I’d recommend removing them as the emissions system is horrible and requires more maintenance than other cars and it’s not needed. Removing them made the car faster and fuel economy got wayyy better. She takes diesel. Typically that would make a car last much longer than a gas powered one. But I went to a little Ray’s gas station in Arkansas and they gave me bad diesel fuel. Mainly water. Wasn’t even flammable. Car was ruined. Cleaned out the system. New water pump. New fuel pump. New injectors. New glow plugs. And other things. Still couldn’t get it to run right sadly. Loved the car. I miss it. This car WILL RUN FOR A LONG TIME CONSISTENTLY. drove it from Louisiana to Canada and back. That drive actually did good for her. Cleared out the emissions and drove faster for some time after that. Great road trip car. Cuts cornered fast due to how small it is. Not very comfortable interior. Not very spacious except for the truck is decent. Easy to weave in and out of traffic with this naughty prissy girl. Overall main downsides were it being uncomfortable, on and off AC issues, and the emissions system!!
