Used 2010 Audi A3 Consumer Reviews

Great used car if you like working on cars

Very comfortable, practical, fast, and good looking car for the money. Through my experience (1.5 years ownership, 30k km @ 190k) this car has had some issues come up but I was easily able to fix myself, PCV valve replacement ($40), throttle body replacement ($110), new ignition coils ($90), door lock actuator ($40), door harness wiring breaks (solder), a new high pressure fuel pump ($200), and keeping up with regular maintenance. None of the issues took more than a couple hours with the help of youtube to fix and you can buy virtually any high quality part from rockauto for cheap, which has saved me thousands. It is also know to consume oil and get some rust on the front fenders. If you aren't comfortable working on your own car, this would definitely be a money pit at higher milages. But other than the repairs I've had to make, this car has been perfect in terms of power (can easily get it tuned with no additional hardware), comfort, fuel economy, practicality, and features especially for the price they are today. The quattro, along with some good winter tires makes an extremely reliable winter car too. As long as you keep up with the maintenance and are willing to work on your own car, it will easily last over 250k km.
