Driving in class

I absolutely love it. Nothing says class like an Audi does. Couldn’t be happier to be an owner of one. Highly recommend anyone purchasing a reliable and safe car.

Pretty car but

I bought a 2016 A3 convertible premium plus package. While it is very stylish and pretty car. Inside there is no voice activation and Siri on apple phones gets shut off every time phone syncs to car . Also no power seats. It was A pricey car for the little options you get. Performance and style are the two big winners with this car.

Minimal features but does the job.

This car has minimal features but the performace exceeds my expectations. The pleasure of driving it is amazing for a entry level luxury car. Also the car is quick for a 1.8L engine, gas saver etc. I love this car.

Consumer Ratings 5 Stars

Inside and out this car was sleek, stylish and offered a range of amenities and comfort. Quattro all wheel drive made driving capability safer and more reliable in winter weather conditions as well as in rain and wind. Love the interface and technology Audi brings to the forefront! Looking for my next car to be another Audi. Highly recommend as an entry level luxury vehicle!

Best car I have ever owned

I love this car. I upgraded from a Hyundai Veloster - I prefer small to mid-sized cars and this was the perfect size for me. I spend about 75% of the time in the car alone, but have drive over 600 miles each way on a trip with 4 total adults and there is more than enough room. The car is very responsive, has all the gadgets I need - may I need some more cup holders. I don't see myself selling this car anytime soon - I usually get a new one ever 3-4 years, but this is a keeper.

True driving performance

Great front seats for 2, with a small rear jump seat ok for a couple of young kids or dogs. This A3 has all the options and is an absolute blast to drive.

Audi Service nightmare

The vehicle is good but a complete mess when it comes to service and reliability. I purchased Audi care the service you get is very unpleasant most recently at Audi Candler it took two days for an oil change which is unacceptable. They even tried to bill me for the service I already paid for. The car itself has good style but performance is problematic. The rear tires of A3 and A4 wear unevenly and the shops even Audi dealers dont know how to fix the recurring problem. When you take it in the dealers typically tell you to drive less or get more frequent alignments. No other car i have or my family required alignments 3 times a year or every 4k miles. The headlights also fall out of alignment but follow up customer service means I will never buy another Audi

I've never loved a car more than this one

I was ready to go to a smaller car after driving SUV's and this car was perfect. Excellent handling, quality built, extra safety features, beautifully styled interior, truly a luxury to drive! It's a 4 door but feels like a little sports car.
