I checked with Thule and the OutWay # TH45JV is indeed a fit for your 2007 Audi A3 Sportback. We have not install this rack on a vehicle like yours at this time so I do not have any pictures I can show you but Thule does list it as a fit.

I own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is the best trunk mount rack I have ever used. We love the retractable cables that make installation a breeze.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
