subject: Audi A3 Wins 2011 Motorist Choice Award [print this page] Audi was presented with a 2011 Motorist Choice Award recently by IntelliChoice and AutoPacific at the Orange County International Auto Show. Held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California, the Orange County International Auto Show brings together automotive enthusiasts from around the world to share and learn about the latest automotive technologies and models from the top vehicle manufacturers.
Audi was presented with the 2011 Motorist Choice Award in the Cosmopolitan category for the Audi A3. Offering great gas mileage, easy handling, and sporty style and performance, the Audi A3 and the Scion xD beat out all other competitors for this category. The Audi A3 starts at just under $30K and offers drivers great performance, handling, and all the comforts they expect from a luxury brand such as leather seating, satellite radio options, and updated climate and audio options. Perfect for navigating busy metropolitan areas or getting away for the weekend, the Audi A3 offers great performance and everyday functionality.
To determine the winners, IntelliChoice and AutoPacific pool their research, data, and vehicle information and carefully analyze the results. IntelliChoice researches and monitors the cost of ownership for over 1800 model trims over a five-year time period. AutoPacific gathers consumer feedback through the largest owner satisfaction survey in the United States. Just last year alone, they gathered over 72,000 surveys from 2011 car buyers. By combining the consumer responses and ratings, and the financial data for vehicle costs, fuel economy, and resale value, the team is able to determine the overall winners for each of the 15 unique categories.
With so much excitement around such a myriad of vehicles, the Orange County International Auto Show was the ideal event to announce this year's Motorist Choice Awards. Featuring 15 categories including Fun to Drive, Kid Friendly, Eco-Friendly, Youthful, and Luxury Lifestyle, the Motorist Choice Awards give drivers insight into the highest consumer-ranked cars on the market today.
In addition to showcasing the newest trucks, cars, and exotic rides, the Orange County International Auto Show also gives event participants a hands-on way to learn more about their favorite brands and models. From the interactive test drive sessions featuring over 40 cars from various manufacturers to exciting meet and greet opportunities with famous drivers, engineers, and celebrities, there are fun events throughout the weekend. There are also family friendly activities for the kids, exotic and supercar exhibitions, and concept car and technology forums. Dates for next OC International Auto Show are still to be decided, but California car fans should mark their calendars for next fall to get in on the fun next year!
California Audi fans who missed the Orange County International Auto Show don't have to wait a full year to learn more about their favorite Audi cars. Whether you are interested in the award-winning Audi A3, the popular Audi A6, or the brand's flagship sedan - the Audi A8, be sure to stop by to experience one for yourself at Commonwealth Audi.
