Best entry level luxury sedan.

The Audi a3 is a great car, I have had no issues with my car in the 2 years that I have owned it. The only issue one might have is that the trunk is a little small. The price point for an entry level luxury car is appealing. There is minimal maintenance on this car as you only need to change the oil every 10000 miles. If you are looking for a small entry level luxury car I highly recommend the Audi over the other automakers.

Love this car, I hope to keep leasing the same make.

Great car, drives smoothly. The only complaint is that, maintenance is very expensive. The car is pretty reliable. I haven't had the car for too long to know full reliability of it. The interior is nice. Mine is sienna brown and the color of exterior is white so those colors contrasts beautifully. Great leather interior. Great sound system.

Shelley

Lots of garbage no one needs and not enough Essentials on interior

There's not enough storage inside. No place to put your sunglasses no place to put a decent size cup no place to put any extras. My car is starting to look like trash because I have to adapt it was so many different holders so that I can function. Additionally the radio system is incredibly complicated for no apparent reason. Does not adapt well to the Android app. If you have an Apple phone that does seem to work pretty good but the Android app is all so pointless in this car Brakes are really really touchy. Side mirrors are shaped poorly leaving visual obstructions no matter how they are adjusted. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go back to Lexus next time. This car is a total disappointment to me

Shelley

Lots of garbage no one needs and not enough Essentials on interior

Just not a comfortable car to drive. Side mirrors are shaped oddly leaving blind spots no matter how you adjust them. Brakes are very touchy. Very poor visibility all the way around. Backup camera is not high quality enough. Very difficult to see. As far as the interior goes how much cup holder is small and placed too far forward so that taller cup will not fit. There is very little storage for things like sunglasses extra change Etc. Stereo system is very difficult to use with a lot of extra gadgets that no one uses and way too complicated to try and even change your radio station while you're driving down the road. The system does not work well with Android navigation. It did however work pretty well when I had an Apple phone. In general I just think they've added a lot of extras that nobody needs and complicates the vehicle yet left out some of the most simple things to make your Driving Experience better. This is my first Audi a d will be my last :-(

Davis Z

Not bad could be better on the mpg.

Comfortable but not really fitting my style. Gas mileage is pretty good but has great legroom in back and front. I use it for my daily commute and occasionally for long drives the performance of the car is pretty quick acceleration however the handling needs a bit of work.

Kendall L

Audi a3 beautiful, sporty car with luxurious interior. Requires maintenance.

I really love the sporty feel and how safe it is driving on the highway. Beautiful interior and amazing features on console. It does seem to require a lot of maintenance even though it is relatively new and very low mileage. Gets good gas mileage and is a fun car to drive.

Jack T

Has great speed and traction. Good acceleration.

The vehicle has good traction and speed as well as acceleration the seats wore out after a while. It also has after some years many mechanical issues and was a rather pain to fix. Not many engine problems or exterior issues as well. Overall a great car to ride and lasted for a decent amount of years.

Clean car, has some issues.

The car tends to have issues with the seat pod, it is been fixed before but the issue keeps happening. Other than that as long as the car is maintained it is drive it is smooth and it is beautiful. Given that the car needs to fix some of its issues with the wiring if not being fixed it could cause more issues.

Pros from Owners

Marilyn D.

The Audi a3 maneuvers well in and out traffic. The vehicle offers a smooth ride on the open highways. Good gas mileage. Spacious room for driver and passenger. Rear seats fold down to give added space in the trunk to allow you place oversized items.

Sue D.

It drives very smooth and has excellent interior design! Also the car has amazing features such as lights along the sides! In my past cars there were no ac vents in the back row but there are some in this car! I absolutely love it!

Justin M.

Very nice. Special looking. Has great gas mileage. The door, tires, look is exceptional. Very spacious for my family. Overall great. Love all colors. Engine is fantastic, the way you feel when you drive it puts a big smile on your face.

Cons from Owners

Marilyn D.

The Audi a3 2 turbo gives the car an added acceleration that will cause the vehicle to lunge forward after you have removed your foot from the break. Keep this in mind when you want to inch the vehicle forward. I would not recommend this vehicle to an elderly or inexperienced driver.

Sue D.

Although I love it! Some of the cons about it are the seats in the very back can be crammed not giving enough leg room to the passenger. Another problem is in the mid row there is not a iPhone plug socket but instead another one which is not very convenient.

Justin M.

Can be pricey when something goes wrong with it. Work can be hard to come by. You gonna pay a price tag to own one but it's top notch so you have to be willing to accept that. Other than that no really cons basically it is a steal.
