I did love my 2015 Audi A3, until the engine died at 122,000 miles. Seems that's not unusual for Audis of that era. Got a brand new engine in it, as I did love the car, and the rest of it seemed fine. Then the alternator died. Of course, nothing to do with the engine! Only a coincidence. Not happy right now.

I bought my A3 back in 2019 with 64k miles. I purchased the Premium Plus model with the virtual cockpit, Quattro and the B&O sound system (a must-buy; I wouldn't purchase it without it). This car HAULS, and the AWD makes it so quick off of the line. There are few cars that beat me off of the line, and I love it. It's also very sturdy. My fiance ran over a metal support beam on the highway in the middle of the desert at over 80mph (think building support) while I was asleep, and the car handled it like a champ. There was a huge thud, and the tire light came on. We pulled over and we saw that the beam knocked out both tires and cracked the rear rim. All of this, and she was able to maintain control of the car as if nothing had happened. I got a flat tire when I was racing someone at 155mph (stage 1 removed the governor) and same thing... never lost control. I now have 138k miles on the car and have had only minor issues. The first was a leaking fluid reservoir ($20 from the Audi dealership) and a misfire issue due to a bad spark plug. The only thing I have a complaint about is the start/stop system. It's very jerky.. not sure how they messed that up. Stage 1 upgrade has it disabled on startup, and I never turn it on. Also, start/stop apparently doesnt care too much about battery drain as my battery has died twice while parked. One more mention... Oddly, if the start/stop is activated and the car is 'off', taking off the seatbelt stops it from turning back on. This is especially dangerous in traffic, and the car doesn't do a good job of letting you know why it all of a sudden won't start again! Very poor design on Audi's part. Other than that, the car is amazing. I have people offering to buy it off of me weekly. With all of the miles the car has now, I drive it less because I feel like I'm pushing my luck. It still pulls as hard as it ever did, and everything works flawlessly. Maintenance has always been cheap. It's amazing to think that I got this lucky with a German vehicle. I highly recommend this car to anybody, and it's my favorite car I've ever owned. If I wasn't spring for a Plaid, I'd definitely go for an RS3 as my next car.

Horrible Service

Bought a 2015 Audi A3 a little over a month ago. Great car, but having problems with the navigation MMI already. Tells me that the car is somewhere I am not, and doesn't catch the speed traps which all other Audi's do here in Korea. Took it to AUDI KOREA service center twice and they can't figure it out. Basically told me I am out of luck. This is of course AFTER taking my car our for a 44 km joy ride and unplugging the black box so there would be no evidence (expect for my empty gas tank). I just hope Audi Headquarters finds a solution to fix the MMI because the AUDI KOREA dealership and service center are incompetent and horrible. Please hire employees that know how to fix their own produc
