Considering how many times a season I head up to the ski slopes here in Colorado a 4wd hatchback was a must. Coming from a Subaru family I started my search there, but was put off by the WRX's insatiable need for speed.. however thanks to this site I stumbled upon the Audi A3 and haven't looked back since. I'm able to hold highway speeds in the worst snowstorms and the A3 doesn't even wiggle when charging through the midlane muck. Weaving in and out of traffic while pulling up I70 is a breeze, one swipe of the paddle shifter and I'm gone. But more-over, its the fit and finish that has won me over, everything is just as it should be and that coupled with the handling is pure eloquence.
Buy this car now.

Great car. Driver's car. Not floaty like IS 250 or G35. Very responsive, fast, engine has a very nice growl to it. Quattro is unmatched, do the research. 3.2 liter engine + Quattro = 0-60 in 5.9 at least. Tons of great standard options such as autodimming mirrors, bose upgraded audio system, rain sensing wipers. I love this car.

So much for German engineering; they have not discovered aluminium. All the interior design is in plastic with silly parts that break and are not covered by the warranty. I used the back seat arm rest once and it broke; I plugged an ipod in the cigarette lighter and it broke; the two moon light roof hatches broke; the bolt that holds the spare tire broke, etc. In addition, the car gets a check engine light every six months (and deal with the service people.) It's the only brand that charges for rental car while on service, contrary to what they said at purchase.
Love Love Love It!

I had to get a 4 door b/c I was pregnant but I wanted as close to a sports car w/4 doors as possible. After much research and reading, I found the A3. I am a true car junkie- grew up reading my dad's car mags & this car does everything I need it to and more. I have the S-Line & although I got the automatic instead of manual trans (hard to shift & find binkies), it is a blast to drive! The acceleration esp when you go to pass is amazing- put your foot down &/or downshift & it just goes! I know it's a little small (I'm 5'2") but my 6' husband & tall step kids all fit w/my Britax car seat. I love the hatch & when the time comes, I'll just get another one!
One of the worst Audi models I’ve had.

I’ve driven mostly Audis ever since my first Audi 5000 s. By far, this is one of the poorest quality made and designed. I’ve owned the old school 5000 and 200, A4’s, A6’s, 100’s, and now an A3. This ‘entry level’ is plagued with broken wires in the door looms, faulty ignition switch, faulty steering lock mechanism, faulty water pump housing which is made of fragile plastic, faulty dsg system, faulty timing chain issues which Audi/VW had a class action against and settled, faulty gaskets. Basically everything that can go wrong with an ice car, this Audi A3 has it, like it’s the first car Audi ever made. Absolutely appalling how the quality has drastically been overlooked. I had a 1999 Audi A4 which was much more reliable and quality built and drove well over 300,000 kms. Only good thing about this A3 is the fuel economy and it’s quick off the line. Also, the stereo is horrid in terms of sound quality, it must’ve been designed by a tone deaf individual. I’m sure it’s great when it’s a new car, like most cars. Do not buy this car used unless it the mileage is under 80,000 kms.
