Great value for the Price
We really like this vehicle. The handling and performance is great. I had read that the Q3 did not have the performance that the Audi line up has. It has great acceleration and braking. I am not looking for a 700 horsepower engine , I just want to be able to get good acceleration. The scrolls for all the lists seem to be backwards and the placement of the controls is not the best forcing you to look way down when using them. The MMI package is difficult to set up needing to get on the web and sign up and then putting in other information on the car. we like the interior and are happy with the space ( I have heard complaints that the storage was small we bought a smaller SUV and expect the space. I have driven an RDX, Buick Encore, the Lexus NX and the BMW X3 and like the Q3 better than these vehicles.

Dont buy used
My 2015 Q3 was great until the warranty lapsed 1 year after buying it used. Brakes needed to be changed ($1500), ok fine normal wear and tear, then the satellite radio reciever failed ($600). Now the kicker- the turbocharger has failed and the replacement price.... $2500!. Plus I am having issues with it periodically stalling when shifting (automatic transmission).

The Cure for the Common SUV
What a vehicle. Has all the comfort and toys you would expect in a vehicle. Very Comfortable, Agile, Sharp, Excellent finishes, Fun to drive, Its the perfect size for those not having to haul a lot of things or people but yet enough room to fit more than a car. You get the elevated height and of course the best AWD drive system out there, Quattro. The Q3 was well worth the wait.
Wonderful car but no Homelink
We bought this car and love it. Great traction in the snow and quite happy with it. However their is no Homelink so if you want to sync it with your garage door it does not exist. How many high end cars don't have this option? We hear the company might retro fit this into the car. We will see and if they do it for cars already purchased.
Just got it and it's great so far
We already have a full size SUV and found that 90% of the time we are just pulling around an empty trunk and hundreds of pound of extra weight. There was no purpose in driving that thing for the majority of our needs. So we got the Q3. It gives the SUV feel but you aren't towing around all this weight and space that rarely gets used. The trunk is more than big enough for grocery trips. If you take out the covers on the trunk space and the door you can fit a lot more than you might have expected. We just brought home 8 27 gallon storage bins from homedepot with room to space. I wasn't sure they would fit in the trunk when we bought em. It has plenty of room in the back for carseats.
Continue enjoying my Q3 for 8 years. Love it.
I have been very pleased with the Q3. It does everything I want so I have only good things to say. After over 8 years this car is still a pleasure to drive. It still feels, handles and rides like a new car. It also has a substantial large car feel without being cumbersome. In 2017 the manifold was replaced under warranty with a newer version that corrected a problem and ensured no repeat of issue. Will most likely buy another when time comes. Purchased April 2015. Now retired and not driving near as much. Foresee this vehicle being with me for several more years. Still enjoy. As of October 2023; still enjoying this vehicle. Has little over 101k miles and runs great. Avg. over 25mpg. Expect to enjoy several more years. Audi’s Quattro is awesome. October 25, 2023 and still enjoy my Q3. Unfortunately no longer supports Google Earth and this year AT&T no longer supports 2G information system and apparently no updates from Audi on this system loss. Disappointing in a brand like Audi but all other elements of this vehicle are without issue. All service work only performed at Audi dealership. Still is comfortable, quiet and enjoyable. Remain very happy with this vehicle.

Love this car
This is my first Audi and I love it. The handling is superior and low road noise. Good size for a small SUV, but I will likely go to Q5 next for vacations, or when adult children also home. Comfortable for long drives; very nicely equipped. Gets great mileage and I have had no repairs other than an expected-from-use change of tires and battery. Great acceleration and handling at all speeds. No complaints other than as I am now looking to trade, dealerships are offering less than I expect, but that is same with all cars, in my opinion.

Best SUV for My Wife
The Q3 is a perfect size SUV for my wife. We feel it is a very comfortable, safe, solid, and fun-to-drive car. We both like to drive this SUV than the other SUV, Lexis RX400. We feel more confidence and safe to drive Q3 than RX400. Q3 inside design is very logic and convenient. The SUV also has a great mileage on highway, we get 32 mpg at speed of 68 miles/hour. The assistant driving and assistant parking options are very useful, especially for seniors.

Small is where it is at
Owned this SUV for 2 years now. A great little SUV we use mostly for weekend and trips. It is perfect for us now than the kids have all gone away. Plenty of space for the 2 of us. It has performed well and we have had no issue with it since the purchase. The only issue I have is with the transmission and all the shifting especially when the vehicle is cold. Once it gets going it can hold the speed with the best of them and it is very nimble on the road. I also like the NAV system, and the audio system, very well done, simple and stylish. The interior is very comfortable even after a 10 hour drive.

Luckily it has a good warranty
This car has been in service for back up camera failure, intake manifold failure, improper reattachment of a gas line by the service staff (scary) and today the engine light went on for some sort of electronic engine failure yet to be determined. I have only owned the car for 24 months but am ready to sell and buy something I can count on. In addition, there are many features that are missing that are offered by many luxury competitors such as homelink and the ability to set power seat positions for each driver. The nav system is awesome and you can link your calendar to send it to the car for appointments. However, the cool tech does not make up for the poor reliability. It does not even come close.

The Q3 had me at hello.
After driving a sedan for the past few years, I was eager to to find a small SUV with sporty handling and all the bells and whistles. I did a LOT of research and considered Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, Lexus NX, BMW X1, MB GLA, and a number of others that were ruled out long before test drive time, either due to appearance, quality or feature combinations. Long story short, the Q3 won my heart on the test drive. It sailed easily over potholes, twists and turns, and accelerated nicely onto the freeway. I love how it rides, handles and brakes. It has enough cargo space for my needs. It's so fun to drive. The experience at the dealer was great as well.
2015 Q3 Quattro - Engine light keeps going on
If you don't mind spending your days at the service shop... I do, it's very inconvenient. I only have 20,000 miles. I'm told there are no guarantees the engine light won't go on again at any time since this is what happens with all electronic systems with all cars. Luckily, I didn't have these problems with my BMW, Mercedes or Infinity. Oh, the service repair shop could care less about any inconveniences and will not give loaner cars.

Not Happy with this SUV
I bought this SUV thinking I am getting a good deal but I am not happy with what I got. I paid extra for the Navigation package and I assumed it would be touch screen. I mean why would any car manufacturer make in dash system which is not touch screen in this day and age. It sucks to enter a phone number using the inbuilt dial. The entire system is so cumbersome. It seems AUDI has really skimped on this model. No way to fold side mirrors and no homelink either. I am not sure what else is this model missing but I very skeptical about what AUDI had put in this model. I will most likely trade in this vehicle for something else. This is my first and last Audi.
The worst fuel consumption by far for similar cars
I Had the 2015 Q3 premium for 6 months now and so far I realy don't like it ... I had a VW 2012 tiguan Previous to this car and I miss it very much !!! The car was in 3 different audi service to confirm My Audi Q3 2015 only does 17MPG Test was done by realy life scenario Confirmed by Audi america ! I Can provide formal documentation
So far so good
Only owned vehicle for two weeks, but really enjoy driving it. Cannot speak to reliability issues, time will tell. Bought it used with only 22600 miles after four years. If you want a small suv, take a good look at the Audi Q3. Putting in an after market back up camera. Built for this model car about $70 and geek squad is installing it for $130: great deal.
