So disappointing and unreliable

In less than 12 months and under 14k miles the gearbox needed complete replacement. This alone needed multiple visits because the service department at Audi refuse to admit anything is wrong and try to wait until your car is no longer under warranty if at all possible. The car also had a code coming up for 2 months until the service dept would address that. Tires are cheap and wear down quickly (20k miles or so and it’s time to go). CarPlay integration is bad. With a fully equipped AWD a3 at 50k I expected way more from this car and far better service. Audi is not luxury, it’s such a scam experience. I’ll be going back to a reliable Toyota before this car is out of warranty- and I’d take a Corolla any day over this overpriced garbage. Don’t do it, you’ll definitely regret this one.

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 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!

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.
