"After doing a lot of research, I decided to trade my old Audi A4 for a new Diesel Audi A3 TDI. I love everything about it (except the navigation system). I am getting 40 MPG in city/highway combination and if the car does not have the punch of the Audi A4, it still has a powerful acceleration and super stability. The disappointment comes from the Navigation/music system which takes a bit of learning...However, once this is done I expect everything will be perfect. I love the fact that I only have to fill the tank about every 500 miles or so. I found the price tag very high, however. Because it was the only model in New England with the specifications I needed for the kind of commute I do, there was very little room for negociation."

"Bought this vehicle in June and enjoy everyday ride! Stylish w/ excellent performance, outrages gas mileage (City 31/ Hwy 42) AVG 35MPG! Not as noisy TDI as I thought. Good interior/exterior design/quality of workmanship. Decent acceleration & excellent handling. Very stable/firm chassis. Huge cargo. Poor front visibility plus not enough leg room for taller drivers. Hard to get in/out for taller/older people. Despite cons, I really love this vehicle. PROS: Gas mileage/Handling/Reliable/Storage CONS: Price/Front Visibility/Compact vehicle"

"I have spent about six weeks to search and found only 250 cars in entire nation of what I wanted to buy and only one that I wanted to own! It was a great experience talking to all the great salesmen across the nation from New York to California and Washington to Florida!! Interestingly I found the car close to my home in Cary, North Carolina! I enjoy every moment of my association with my Audi A3 TDI!"

"Having driven BMWs for the last twelve years, one an X5 with the sport package and a 335i, both with BMW thirsty engines, it is a wonder to fill-up this beautiful little diesel with fuel on a monthly schedule rather than every ten days. Last September, everyone was lulled into a false sense of comfort with fuel prices but the per gallon price was bound to hike again and it has. My A3 TDI has the Premium Package and it is a pleasure to drive. No cranky warning lights to deal with either since my September purchase."

"I put 2k miles shockingly fast on my new 2011 A3 TDI Premium Plus with the Sport Package. I made up a plethora of excuses to run errands just because the A3 is such blast to drive. I appreciate the car's grippy handling and precise control. Don't be put off by the 140 hp - 236 ftlb of torque really gets the car moving after stopping at a traffic light, and it's all too easy to squeal the front tires. The Audi's luxury feel makes it a clear step above it's VW cousins. And seeing the Audi in a parking lot near a Jetta Sportwagen constantly reminds me that the Audi's price premium is well worth it. The Audi has such a distinctive presence compared to its rivals. I've been getting consistently around 40 mpg mixed when paying reasonable attention to the instant fuel consumption gauge. It becomes a fun game trying to increase the average consumption. But, admittedly, its more fun to power through the corners and dash around town while not worrying about how much diesel is running through the engine. The TDI offers a great mixture of utility, luxury, and spirited performance, while not guzzling eye-popping amounts of fuel. Yeah, it's a pricey little toy, but man it's always exciting getting behind the wheel and zooming down the road."

"Just under 2900 miles. This car has sport suspension , seats and tires. Handles very nicely the ride firm but not jolting. TDI torque a real pleasure but still breaking in. Best mileage close to 40 and suprisingly higher speeds seemed to deliver better mileage. The GPS is not intuitive and I prefer at this time my old Garmin. Bluetooth and sirius are GREAT on a road trip.No problems with car as yet."
