Good driving, lacks tech features = low value

Driving is smooth, and that's the best thing I can say about this car. Acceleration is not great, interior feels good but not luxurious, and technology is not good (standard items like rear view camera are only available at higher cost so in a comparison against other brands Audi loses). Their MMI infosystem works erratically, it's not fast and even when it's graphically rich, it's not functionally rich. And the Value for the money is definitely not there. It was great to have the car for 36 months to become truly familiar with it and appreciate Audi service (top notch!) but it really is not for me (I prefer to pay less for the fancy location of the dealer and more for the car itself, which I don't think happens with Audi. Mediocre car with high price)

Test drove 2015 A3 2.0t quattro

I loved test driving this car. I was able to test the power by going uphill in the streets of SF. WOW!!! Only thing that I didn't like was the acceleration part where it seemed choppy, but I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it. I would have bought the car if my loan officer didn't give me the incorrect monthly pymt on it.

Our A3 has great performance and is fun to drive.

We love our A3 Cabriolet. It has great performance, is very comfortable for my husband and I to drive, and it's a lot of fun to drive with the top down. The small back seat is great for our grandkids.

Great reliable car

My A3 is my favorite car I have owned thus far. You cannot beat the Quattro all wheel drive system, I can never go back to anything else. Good leg room on the front, it is a small car so head room in the front and rear seats is minimal, and back seat leg room could be better. Handles great, and is great on gas.

Fast and Furious!

Needed a car that could get out into traffic and perform in all kinds of weather with sport, reliability, and comfort. The Audi A3 has met those demands.

Outstanding car

It's great on gas and it has all the bells and whistles on it. Last production of the Audi diesel breed and a future classic.

Fun to drive, snappy car.

Great speakers, Really good gas milage for all wheel drive. Not a long drive car though. Perfect for daily commute.

A great combination of style, quality & economy

I have owned the A3 for 26 months ... love the styling, power and fuel economy. The exterior style is sporty. The interior is high quality even though this is Audi's entry level vehicle. No corners were cut on materials. The 2.0L turbo has plenty of power yet still delivers a very acceptable MPG - my average is just under 32MPG (on regular fuel). I have been very happy with this car (and all other Audi's I have owned). No complaints ...
