Great family car, comfortable and reliable.
I love my car. It is reliable, comfortable and sporty. It is perfect amount of room for my two growing boys. I especially like the Bluetooth so I can listen to audiobooks, podcast. It automatically connects when I start the car. Great convenience. I would recommend!

It's fast and it's a lovable drive always each time
No complaints as such but only if they could make the back seat a little bigger

Audi q3: reliable and classy.
My Audi q3 is very comfortable. It is super classy with a very chic sunroof. It speeds up quickly and is very smooth. When it is on it is very quiet. The car takes less gas than my Infiniti and the tank lasts longer. Most importantly, it is very reliable..

Audi Q3- A smart choice for those looking for perfection.
I drive an Audi Q3, which is great due to the smaller size, high performance, better than average gas mileage, superb reliability, and plush features.

Comfortable Audi SUV with no problems!
Very comfortable ride, gas mileage is good, even better than claimed. The SUV is large enough to move large items with the back seat down.

Great ride, comfortable, peppy and spacious. German engineering at its best.
Smooth ride for an SUV. Great acceleration. Quiet ride. Compact, easy to park but still spacious interior. Loaded interior great Bose sound system.Haven't had any problems or major mechanical issues with the vehicle. Oil change every 10000 miles. Great investment.

Audi performance review!!
My car has been extremely reliable since the day I purchased it almost 3 years ago. I have it maintained regularly, but drive more than the average person. I have not had any major issues with my vehicle, it drives well and very smooth! Features include a camera, Bluetooth, navigation system, automatic, sunroof, just to name a few. I live in a city where we have snow every winter, and the quattro system has been above all. I feel safe driving in any weather condition and know I will get there safe. It fits my family of 3 comfortably, and the trunk space is enough for us.

I really enjoy the stereo system on this car, the sound is always crisp.
I really like this vehicle and the features it comes with. I enjoy the radio system, I tend to listen to pretty loud music while I am driving and the speakers on this vehicle are very good quality. The car is easy to clean, both the interior and the exterior are. Both the back seats and the front seats are very comfortable and there is a lot of trunk space.

Nice car for city as long as you do not drive too much.
Noisy but enough for city. I would not recommend for highways. Also room is limited at the back for adults.

2017 Audi q3 the good and the bad.
I feel like there is some lag when trying to speed up although people who have driven my car personally say it is zippy. The Bluetooth does not always connect properly, connects properly about 88% of the time. Occasionally the windshield wiper has gone off when no water has hit it. The battery died without warning at only 3 years old. It is very comfortable though and I love the heated seats.

Has a touch of class, elegance and performance.
My vehicle is extremely reliable. The performance is really good for the class and for a turbo all wheel drive it is good on gas. Comfort is good not great and features are excellent. Must always use the highest grade gas. I have never had any problems with this vehicle and for 4 cylinder it has lots of go power.

The Audi q3. Small, compact city ute, w/ some power, yet sad interior.
The Audi q3 is a sporty, and pretty quick little crossover. I think of it as a raised hatchback. The interior in simple, and dated. Audi needs to refresh its look. The drive is amazing, and makes me happy. Yet not worth the price I paid. It lacks options that other cars in the segment have at the same price. Just a little bit of a let down.
accountCircle Christine F
Overall satisfied with Audi.
My car can be finicky and the internal buttons are not intuitive. I wish there was more functionality for the price. I also do not like the fact that German cars are expensive to repair so because of that I have had damage on my car for months. However I do like the look of the car and the brand.

Fun car not good in snow.
Terrible in snow. Otherwise it runs good. Its comfortable everything works on it. But do need a new car for where I now live. Aside from snow, it handles well and is fun to drive in. But at the same time not worth for what I lease it for and do wish I got a better car for the conditions I live in.

More color options and better connectivity.
At this time I am satisfied with my car. I would like it to be more spacious in the back seats. It is unable to connect to the car audio system at times which can be annoying. Would love for it to come in different colors. More earth tones like Toyota or Subaru.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Gina C.

Drives so smooth & silent, feels great to sit in, love the SUV! Reliable car!! Classy! Love the moonroof, the automatic everything. Car always tells me when something is due, oil change, maintenance etc. It even tells you when tires are low. The Audi dealership also came & towed me due to a battery & replaced it totally free! I even got to see the progress of it on video they Sent me to my phone!

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Gina C.

I do not like the fact that I cannot get the interior on the dashboard all the way clean because it is not smooth leather the dust seems to stick in the grooves. Inside glove box in the compartment in the middle is not very big to be able to put little things.

It costs $35,000-42,000. I think cars in general are all expensive. Comparing the Audi Q3 to other SUVs I guess it is a good value.
