Great Used Car

I'd recommend the TDI version of the A3 SportHatch to anyone looking for a great, fun to drive, fuel efficient, sexy hot hatch, with an eye for detail and reliability.

Best bang for the buck

This TDI has to be one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. The fuel economy is awesome! Even with only 140hp, the car moves just fine, merging on the highway is no problem. Stereo sounds amazing and the dual sunroofs are great. Seats are very comfortable and it looks sporty too!

Great car

I bought the tdi model and love it. I would buy another one of audi or volkswagon models. Great mpg. The needle never moves. Love passing gas stations I dont have to stop at with a gas vehicle

The best car I've ever owned

Trouble free 83000 miles and counting. Have not even replaced the brakes. Surprisingly reliable and extremely fun to drive. It is very refined with smooth ride quality that I was not expecting from a smaller car. Pedal shifters, dual sunroof and buttery smooth 6 gear speed box adds value. Overall meets all my needs as a young professional.

Excellent car

After test driving it I fall in love with the smooth drive and how comfortable the seat . I knew right away that the car I would like to have . I wish Audi would make a model or two for middle class customers . I was luck to have found this car for a good deal . I looked up on line at all dealers and they were old model with higher price and high km . Love my car which I name My Sonia

Great sports wagen

super fast and sporty Audi A3 with excellent MPG. Plenty of room and dual sunroof and moonroof. Very rare 6 speed manual gives a true Drivers Car and control!

Happy with my choice

My commute is 90 highway miles per day. I bought the A3 Premium Plus edition because of the upgraded headlights and stereo options. The car averages 42 mpg round trip at 70 mph. It has plenty of power for cruising/passing and is comfortable. Couldn't be happier.

Would recommend.

Thanks Gus & Kevin. Good experience with Champagne Motors. Good transaction, they topped the fuel tank & changed the oil too.

Do your research on fuel injectors disintegrating

The fuel injectors on these vehicles are extremely intolerant of variations in the quality of diesel fuel. My A3 fuel injector disintegrated and destroyed the turbo and the engine. Audi of America told me what the dealer told me "you put bad fuel" in the car. I put standard diesel.
