My Audi A3 is an impressive car and beautiful car

I just purchased a CPO 2017 Audi A3 2.0 Quattro Premium and I am very impressed. The level of refinement of this compact luxury car is very high. The ride is sporty, smooth and controlled. Road noise is very low and the car goes exactly where you point it. The feel of the leather steering wheel and the comfort of the leather seats are impressive. Great stereo and infotainment system. The controls are quite complex so I am getting use to it. I do not like the engine start/stop and I am glad I can turn that off. Overall this is a great "little" luxury car.

Audi A3

Love the car. Great looking car with great performance. The size is smaller then the Audi A4 but I was looking for a smaller car. It has a fabulous panaromic sunroof and beautiful interior. I spent a long time deciding what to buy and I know I made the right choice.

Audi A3 - Great Handling

I've owned this vehicle less than 2 months now. It has great handling and once the turbo starts, it runs like a cheetah. It's compact, great for everyday use for one or two.

Surprisingly fun!

Love this car. 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. It's quickness really caught me by surprise. Love hearing those turbos as I cruise comfortably down the road.

Very stylish and technology full car

I feel great driving this car around the city and It's definitely a luxury small sedan. I wish it had a bit more Torque but I can't complain for the price I paid.

Excellent Value

I looked at all of the entry level luxury cars (BMW 3 series, MB CLA etc) and I kept coming back to the Audi for it's value. It seemed the other brands offered every little feature as an upgrade and all of a sudden your $30k car is $45k. I actually wasn't looking for every crazy feature: I wanted AWD, a moon roof & carplay- Audi gave me that in the base model and kept the price in the 30's. I really like the car- I was a Subaru owner all of my life and so I had to have something with AWD. I like the pick up, the quietness, and it has all the features I need. Oh wait, maybe I wish I had gotten rain sensing wipers. In any event- it's a smart car. I especially appreciate that it tells me if I left my cell phone in the car! Also the cup holders seem flimsy, but they are good- my full coffee has not yet spilled! I have 2 cons- one major, one minor. The major one: I hate auto start/ stop. It is not always instant, you can feel the engine groggily restarting and I'm terrified that the hesitation is going to get me into an accident making a left hand turn or something. As best I can tell, you can only disable start/ stop on each trip- not permanently. Minor con: Car play does not integrate perfectly with the radio. So i can be on maps, but can't see what song is playing on satellite. You can see the channel you are on next to the speedometer, but not the song so that's kind of annoying. I'm a channel surfer.
