The Audi A3 Second generation (2003–2013) is 421.5 cm long, 176.5 cm wide and 142 cm tall, with a 257.8 cm wheelbase. That makes it about 38 cm longer than the average 3-door hatchback in our guide (384 cm across 63 versions). In size it is closest to the BMW 1 Series 3-door hatchback (2004, 1.2 cm longer), the Hyundai Veloster (2011, 0.5 cm longer) and the Alfa Romeo 147 3-door hatchback (2000, same length).

Will the Audi A3 fit?
UK parking bay 4.8 × 2.4 m
Fits comfortably58.5 cm spare in length; with mirrors (196.5 cm wide (est.) including mirrors) about 21.8 cm free each side for opening doors.
UK single garage 4.8 × 2.4 m, 7 ft door
Fits, but tightLittle room to walk round; not enough width to open the doors fully. Height 142 cm vs a 198 cm door.
Assumes a UK standard parking bay of 4.8 × 2.4 m and a typical UK single garage of 4.8 × 2.4 m inside (2.1 m high) with a 7 ft × 6 ft 6 in (213 × 198 cm) up-and-over door. Where we have no width-with-mirrors figure we add 20 cm to the body width. “Comfortably” leaves about 60 cm to walk round and open a door; “tight” means it goes in but getting out is awkward. Garages and bays vary a lot — measure yours and use the garage fit checker. For guidance only.
