mpg better than advertised.

It's enjoyable to drive, smooth engine, planted, quick . . . and efficient. I bought it new 18 months ago. I never reset the mpg counter one time, and the car now has 30k miles on it. Overall, (NOT just highway) the car shows that I'm getting 39.6 mpg. I calculate my MPG for each tank when I get gas, and most of the time, it's over 40. Mostly, I'm commuting, so I'm driving probably 80% highway, but still, that's better than I could have hoped for. Always use 91 ethanol-free fuel. Reduces engine knock and better mpg. Very nice little car. It is quite small, by the way. Doesn't bother me, but my wife doesn't like it for that reason.

I have been driving VWs since my 1972 Bug, and decided to upgrade to an 2022 Audi A3. It has spent more time in the shop than on the road. The first repair took the dealer two months to get the part needed. It is now in the shop for a repair of the air conditioning system. So far it has taken three weeks to get the part. Still waiting to get my car back. Stay away from Audi. Update 1-1-2025, still problems. Check engine indicator coming on and service is having a problem finding the problem. Update 3/31/25, AC not working again. Waiting for a part, AGAIN!

This is my first intro to luxury sedan , and I’m loving it, did 10,000 klm in 3 months since I own it so much fun to drive and fuel efficient, little bit of a small trunk but with the easy fold down seats I can carry a lot more. Engine has a serious power kick. The seats are super comfy and the controls and touch screen are within easy reach.

Best Car I’ve Ever Owned

The 2022 Audi A3 is the perfect balance of power, handling, ride, tech and efficiency I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning and I’ve been driving since 1973. The mild hybrid system combined with the smoothest start/stop system I’ve ever driven has allowed me to far exceed the EPA highway mileage, routinely hitting 42 mpg on trips from Connecticut to NYC. The ability to coast down hills with the engine off is a hyper milers dream come true. The 201 SHP is more than adequate and the compliant ride, comfortable seats and precise handling make it a joy to drive. This car should definitely be on your list.

I must I love my car, we originally went in looking for a Audi A5 but when we was showed this car. We feel in love with it. It drives so smooth and I love all the bells and whistles especially the wireless charger.
