Should I buy one of these compact cars, or an Audi A3? - 1

Hyundai Elantra
Honda Civic
Toyata Corrolla
Mazda3
Ford Focus
Chevy Cruze
Volkswagon Jetta

OR

Audi A3, either front wheel drive (about 10k-12k more)

Which of the compacts should I buy?

Last place is Audi, next to last is Jetta, 3rd from last is Cruze.

All the others are good.

Honda, Toyota, or Mazda. AUDIs are expensive to repair.

Depends on what your looking for. A3 is a premium car, you'll find better fit and finish in a A3 compared to the other cars, along with slightly higher maintenance costs.

Civic, Mazda 3, Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla and Chevy Cruz in more or less that order. The Audi and the Jetta are going to have more significant maintenance and repair costs.
