I replaced my A2 with an A3 8V TDI Ultra which ticked a lot of similar boxes to the A2 (apart from quirkiness and volume when seats removed). Since buying it my fuel costs have remained almost exactly the same with my commute unchanged but benefit from a significantly quieter car which is Euro 6 compliant and a bit more comfy for passengers (actually has some form of shock absorption on the front axle). A lot of these are fairly well equipped and have various aero body parts and are significantly lighter than the standard A3 Sportback at 1200 kg. I haven't ever achieved the 90mpg claimed though because obviously that is a nonsense figure but do get to 75-80 with a reasonable frequency.
I have been very impressed with the longevity of the VW MQB based cars too now having owned 4 with more than 100k miles on without any major issues.
All the above said I do miss my A2, there's very little interesting about the A3
