2016 Audi A3 consumer reviews

I came out of a 2014 A4 Quattro that was a dream vehicle until someone ran a red light, totaling it, and still undecided about the A5, I went with the A3 1.8T (I was driving many miles for work and wanted something with great mileage). For the money, it's a very good car. However, I had a coolant leak which has been wreaking havoc on my electrical system. The car has been in the shop 5 times in last 90 days. Still waiting to see what the dealer will be doing, but I really want another A3, this time with Quattro, as they're made better than the front wheel drives and I want another A3 because I think the styling is better than the new A4's. Plus, the car is a blast to drive. Audi has the best handling in my opinion, and I've owned both Mercedes and BMW's.

I love the performance and handling, but the interior features are awkward and not user-friendly. The MMI menu system is a dial in push mechanism with a counterintuitive entry system. The seat recline adjustment is a dial wedged between the door and the seat and is very difficult to access and manipulate . At the price of this vehicle, it should be an electronic adjustment.

Love the handling and the suspension The AWD works great and is very confiable inside The turbo has a bit of lag but once it kicks up is a fun car to drive

This car is excellent and has all the technology add ons AWD, navegation, blank spot warning and an excellent sound system Very impressed with handling and suspension Highly recommended

I have owned this car for almost 2 years, and have absolutely loved every aspect of it. Mine in particular is the 2.0L Quattro, which makes a huge difference over the 1.8 which I test drove before my purchase. The car is not overly sporty, but does a great job looking and acting like it with it's albeit limited 230hp. This car is extremely reliable, and I have had no problems with it since purchasing it. The interior is top notch, especially for its car class. The leds are bright, and the modern theme on the entire car is superb! The only thing I would change is to add a manual transmission as an option, and to make the exhaust a tiny bit louder, but since this isn't an S or RS model I can understand why it has its current volume. If these things don't matter to you, I would give this car a 10/10 in every aspect.

Great AWD system. Will get you through anything. Is very fun to drive, nice and quick. Great interior and exterior design.

Most exciting and enjoyable car I have ever owned! I know I can always count on my A3, whether it be for its acceleration or just for a casual relaxing drive. It exceeds in all categories but blows the competition out of the water in terms of looks. I laugh at people who buy a fully loaded Camry or so on when you can buy a decently equipped A3 for the same price. So far its been a dream to drive. Nothing comes close.

Audi is just amazing. Starting from the comport, interior design, to exterior. The Audi A3 that i test drove at his dealership was in an amazing condition compering to some other Audi's that i test drove previously.

The styling of the A3 really made me look at the car. Performance is better than expected in this little car

I bough it. It is a love/hate relationship. Must be driven in S mode or it is dog ! Fuel consumption is at the very low and I mean at the vary low end of the range :( I even wish I had purchase my 135. If anyone can tell me different I welcome the comments
