Exceptional automobile.

The A-3 was the first time I chose to buy a semi luxury automobile. I chose the Audi after driving other small luxury models and finding that this car was perfect for my needs.

Not one problem for the 6500 miles I have.

Being its a convertible its fun to drive and has a ton of great options, acceleration and handling are great. With the top down you hardly feel any wind and the stereo is amazing and very loud even with the top down. This car has the stop and go cruise control as an option and it is perfect for those busy times in major traffic, nice feature and after using it and would get it again.

Proud owner of 2016 A3 - EDIT

I bought a "CPO" 2016 A3 1.8T from Audrey (who I just heard from someone at the dealer is no longer with them) on May 20, 2017 with a little under 19100 miles. Great fast car. Until June 17th when it had 19878 miles. The car started to stutter/sputter/jerk while on the fwy. I was going about 50-60mph on the fwy, cruising, and then it stuttered. It lost the power to accelerate and it slowed down considerably so I pulled over. I had it towed to the nearest dealer (not Palo Alto Audi). It was there from 6/17 to 6/29. Dealer said it had a faulty turbo, so they replaced it. I got the car back with about 20072 miles, so apparently they did some road test. Today, while picking up some gifts for my daughter's birthday, the issue came back again. This time, my wife and 2 small children were in the car. It was scarier this time as I had to think for their safety first and foremost. Imagine a car that suddenly lost acceleration power on the freeway at around 6:30pm. Anyway, I researched on Audis reliability and did read on some comments about how lousy they are. I gambled and decided to buy one anyway. Boy did I lose BIG. At this point, I'd rather have a Kia or Chevy

Comfortable Convertible..love it!

Love the car and the fact that the convertible top is unseen while driving. No blind spots when roof is up! Highly recommend.

Fun, Sporty Convertible

I recently traded in my big "mom car" Tahoe for this cute 2016 Audi convertible. It is actually very roomy inside and has great trunk space. I love the sporty, tight drive...compared to my SUV. Interior dashboard is simple and easy to use. It also gets amazing gas mileage! The bonus is that it's a fun and sporty car to drive...love it!
