Audi cars as they assure best performance and high reliability.
The Audi a3 is a good luxury small car. It has a strong base engine, and there are three more-muscular engines to choose from. This Audi also has agile handling, so you can throw it hard into curves. Additionally, the a3 offers a refined ride, comfortable front seats, and a long features list.

The interiors of our Audi vehicles are an amazing combination of sophistication, style, technology, and comfort. You ride in style thanks to leather seating surfaces. Audi offers interior mirrors with anti glare action aimed at reducing the glare effect created by the headlight beam from the following vehicles.

It's a turbo diesel. And Volkswagen lied about the emissions
My vehicle is a TDI which gives it a nice a little pep. What I don't like is the delay is the gas pedal when accelerating. Over an ok car. Pretty good on gas mileage.

In my opinion the 2010 Audi a3 is a decent car.
The 2010 Audi a3 that I have is a really great car for those who are looking for their first car. The only problem I have with this car is the engine problems that it comes with the car does have oil leak problems, but if you have the money for the repairs go ahead and buy it. Overall it's a decent car.

Nice but has some drawbacks with age.
It drives nicely but has some starter issues. When I put it in park it does not always register and the key will get stuck in the ignition. I like the space of it and the pick up that it has. It is speedy and handles nicely. I have had some issues with the air conditioner going in and out however.

The brake system is strong, feel natural. I also like the ride quality.
Crowded rear seat. All-wheel drive eats up some of the space in the rear. Things will feel too crowded for taller adults. The trunk space is small, too. Also a lack of storage space for small items to put. I cannot store too many things in this car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Gabriela D.

Pros: smooth suspension- smooth transition of speeds, stops smoothly, turns smooths. Good gas mileage - low on price tank fill. Great interior-leather and neutral color. Very nice exterior-white, and classy.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Gabriela D.

Vehicle cons: speeds up quickly- do not notice speeding because so quiet and smooth. Sensitive pedals- yet it speeds up with a tap of the foot. Tires are expensive!! - double the amount than regular car tires. There is not that many cons and I am very happy with the car. Ages well.
