Great little car

I’m at 90,000 miles and it runs like a top. My mileage in town is 38-39 and on the Highway about 48-49. The car handles like it’s wearing sneakers. The only problem is the low profile tires get pinched when I hit a Pittsburgh pothole and cracks the sidewalk. If this is my last car before the walker, I’m okay with it. Great stereo with the Bang and Olfsen. Now at 107,000 miles. Still love it. I had to fix the truck release-broken wire. My only trip to the dealer and not as painful as expected.

Nimble and grippy

Easy and nimble. Great pull from engine with lots of torque down low. Smooth cruising, despite a tight suspension. Best performance sedan for the money, and I have experience owning top sports cars and sedans.

The best there is

Look at used Audi’s as the a 4 conv. The new ones depreciate quickly. Audi owners take care of their cars, so it’s hard to go wrong.

I absolutely love the way my new car hugs the road when I drive. It drives like a dream! The stereo is great too, I can hear it perfectly clear with the top down!

A3 is a fun car

I have had my A3 for a month now and love it. Tons of power and is fun to drive, front power seats are very comfortable. the car was a new 2015 still on the lot and I got 8 grand off sticker and the dealer CPO it for 100K 6 year warranty as part of the deal as Audi had started the ticker on the base warranty 3 months ago. The trunk is a little small and I have to open the middle back seat to fit my golf clubs. I have a hard time keeping it under 80 on the high as I travel a lot, the speed alarm helps.
