Horrible experience with Audi A3 Cabriolet

I leased a new 2015 Audi A3 Cabriolet from Audi Palo Alto in October. A few weeks back as the car was climbing a hill enroute to Lombard street in San Francisco in Traffic, it started slipping backwards and refused to accelerate upwards. The cars behind me naturally honked and drivers were mad at my car not only blocking traffic but slipping backwards. When I switched off the car and tried restarting it would not start for 10 min. After 10 min, it started again and went up 100 feet and again slipped backwards. Somehow after an hour long traumatic experience, I got out of the hill. Following this, I had a horrible experience with the service team at Audi Palo Alto too...
Very unreliable.

I owned a brand new 2015 Audi A3 for about 6 months and it was plagued with problems. Windows that wouldn't go back up, burning oil, a transmission that stopped shifting, nav and tech issues. While not ideal, all of this would have been ok if Audi actually fixed these problems and/or didn't attempt to charge me to fix these problems when I brought the car in for service. That is the ultimate problem with this car and the brand. They don't support you after the purchase of the vehicle. I've heard excuse upon excuse on why they are not responsible for anything that goes wrong with the car. I traded it for a BMW 3-Series and what a difference in the service you receive. I will never buy an Audi again.

Let’s see how much you like it when it starts breaking down. At this writing, there are currently 4 recalls, which you won’t be notified about, because that’s one of the recalls. Factory put wrong dates on label. So they don’t know who to contact. Until, you are sitting on the side of the road, calling a tow truck for your car. You have it repaired. Boom, happens again. Suspicious, you look to see if their are any recalls, and yes there is! Two are truly serious and could cause real harm including fires and crashes. My son is driving this car and once again it’s towed to shop.

Looked for a convertible for her for over a year -- Mustang, Camaro, BMW Z4, Lexus, etc and none of them seemed to fit the bill of what we wanted -- namely, high build quality, decent onroad performance and technology, a usable backseat, for under $40,000. We found it in a leftover 2015 model A3 2.0 Quattro Cabriolet. I have driven it some, quite impressed with its (front seat) legroom, smooth ride & handling, and giddy-up, esp. when you drop it into Sport mode. Gets lots of positive comments from onlookers. Note: Don't expect to get 33 MPG, it's too much fun to get into the gas, we're seeing about 25 MPG overall but who cares. Also there is a learning curve on the MMI but once you figure it out it's cool. 6-month update: No problems whatsoever, Audis these days are highly dependable.

It was a 2015 leftover with 40 miles when I purchased it in June of 2016. I've had the car for only 1 month but really love it. I am 50 and this is my mid-life crisis car and am really enjoying the drive. I transitioned from a soccer mom highlander driver (which is a great vehicle), to empty nester Audi A3 driver. Enjoying the ride!
