Comfortable solid sporty fun-to-drive

Safety features are lacking, interior comfort is good for the driver and passenger. The second row passengers are a little cramped. The drive is very comfortable but not what I would call zippy from a complete stop. The navigation media center is lacking. I wish this vehicle had Apple CarPlay. The back hatch has adequate storage for luggage for two on a long trip. Of course, if it was just two in the care, you could fold down the back seats for significantly more storage. I leased this car and I am considering buying it at the end of the lease or trading it in for a newer version. Price includes Tech Package and Perma Plate.

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.

Audi Q3 rides like a NYC taxi!

After a year the shock absorbers are basically dead. You drive an Audi and it feels like a NYC taxi! I just did the 15k service at Audi But they claim the car is fine. Clearly there is an issue with this Q3. Buyer beware!!

The Q3, in my opinion, drives much better than the A3.
