It’s everything that’s great about Audi, in a small package. Zippy engine, premium interior materials, great handling, and very fuel efficient. When my first lease was up, I got another one.

I’ve only had the car for 6 months and within 3 months I already started having problems with the Bluetooth/ apple carplay. The Bluetooth would just say “unavailable” and refuse to turn on or work at all, also the car randomly “unrecognizes” the key fob and won’t start. The seats (unless you opt for the sport seats) are extremely uncomfortable, and the start/stop system does not work properly. Sometimes the car will actually turn off completely and I have to put the vehicle in park and press the button to turn the car back on. The sunroof also makes a loud creak when opening it. But the dealer can never “reinact” the problem so they just do a “software update” and had me back the keys. I’m so glad I’m leasing this vehicle and not buying. Never have I had so many problems with a brand new vehicle. This will be the last Audi I ever drive.

Speech dialogue or voice recognition was disabled by Audi in my car. This was a major annoyance since neither Audi tech headquarters nor my dealer had any idea what to do to install the needed software. I had to show them online comments from other owners with this problem and how they got it corrected. Your dealer CAN download needed software to enable voice recognition. Other then that, this is a great car. High quality interior, superior acceleration and ride comfort. A few minor design improvements I would like are: more light in the trunk and since the doors are very wide, an inside door handle closer to where the door opens so it is easier to control. Also another "catch point" to hold the door open when getting out. As it is now, you must open the door quite a bit before it catches open. Combined with it being hard to control the door due to the placement of the handle, this can take some doing.
Very nice car with reliability issues.

When I began considering Audi I was unaware of the A3, thinking the A4 was the smallest sedan Audi offered. I was pleasantly surprised and initially loved my purchase. The car is nice to look at, handles well, has good punch to the engine and interior appointments are very nice. BUT, reliability is killing my joy for this car. In the 3 years I've had it the water pump failed, the main computer failed (Audi couldn't even figure out how to fix this, and they just reset it to factory defaults after a week of trying to troubleshoot why the car would not start with push button), thermostat failed, couple of other issues that kept the car in the shop for a couple of days each time. A3 has had three recalls while I have owned it (3 yrs), two of which Audi says they are not even fixing now. Warranty is running out in a couple of months and I reluctantly am looking at other brands. I want to like the Audi enough to keep it, but almost $3000 for a 2 yr extended warranty, with the issues I've had, just doesn't cut it. Going to take that money and use it for a down on another brand. Pity, as I really like the Audi styling. CR says the A4 and A5 have better reliability, but I like the size of the A3. Guess I'm headed to a BMW 2 series.
