Default A4 sized. Looks better in medium and darker colours IMHO

The A3 competitor is the upcoming 149

Default Heh, heh ;-) Actually too large for my tastes. Although the 156 GTA is very nice IMHO

You can see where Audi/Seat designer (former Alfa designer) Walter de Silva first came up with some of his ideas ;-) The A3 reminds of a baby Germanic 156 Sportwagon.

Nice Is the rear door handle in the pillar? I researched the 159 more and is SO similar to Audi

Default Yup, tucked in the pillar. Seat shows a lot of influence

Actually 156 was first to utilize that c-pillar door handle, no?
