I’ve been a long-time Audi owner (A6, TT, A4) so it seemed pretty straight-forward to try out the Audi line when we were ready to replace our SUV. I had been eagerly awaiting the US release of the Q3 after researching it from afar. Before buying, I drove the Q7 and Q5 for comparison. Both beautiful cars, but we were looking for something compact. I give the Q3 5-stars in every category but acceleration, control logic, and road noise. The acceleration is fine, just a little less gutsy than some of the Audis I’ve fricen before. The control logic is great, except for the sound system control. They’ve moved it from the main center console to the center dash console. (Edit: after driving the vehicle for 8 months I no longer notice the difference) Road noise in an SUV is almost always going to be heard, add in winter tires on weathered roads and it’s pretty much impossible to keep it quiet. Not too bad, considering. Everything else has been exactly what I have come to expect from an Audi.

Have had my Q3 for a month and am very pleased so far with the way it handles, how comfortable it is (got the sport package), and how smooth the car rides on Colorado's poorly maintained roads. Love the auto climate control and the cargo area is big enough for my bike which is why I wanted a crossover. It's fabulous and zippy on steep, curvy mountain roads. I'm averaging 24.5 mpg with combo city/highway (mostly city) driving. My only challenge is figuring out all the computer programs in the car and setting everything up to my preferences. The car manual has become my lifeline and I have to reference it often as it's a bit complex. The cruise control/radio/navigation/windshield wiper/etc. controls are pretty easy to access from the steering column but I find that I hit the wrong controls occasionally because everything is in one place. Huge learning curve with the car ( but then, my old car was a 2004 so I'm behind the times for car technology) but I have to say I'm very, very happy with it.

2016 Q3 Prestige with Sport Package

I recently took my wife's 2011 Q5 in for routine service, and the dealer gave me the Q3 as a loaner car. I was very impressed with the ride versus my 2011 A3 TDI. So when I went back to pick up my wife's car, I decided to sit down with a salesperson to discuss the possibility of trading in my A3. The deals they were offering were excellent, and I just wasn't willing to wait to see how Audi was going to resolve the emission issue affecting the 2.0 TDI engines. So far, I'm extremely happy with my decision. The Q3 with Prestige and Sport Packages is a real step up from my 2011 A3 TDI. The ride is extremely comfortable and the cabin is incredibly quiet. Incidentally, on previous occasions, I also had the opportunity to drive the 2015 A3 Sedan for an extended period as a loaner car, and the Q3 feels a lot nicer to drive. The handling with the 19" tires included with the Sport Package is really impressive. It doesn't handle like an SUV at all. The car accelerates very evenly and the transmission shifts very smoothly. The exterior and all of the interior finishes are just beautiful! The Bose Audio system included with the Prestige Package sounds great, and I love how seamlessly my iPhone connects (via Bluetooth) to play all of my audio files. My only disappointment is the relatively poor fuel economy for an SUV in this class. In fact, the fuel economy is essentially the same as my wife's Q5 which is significantly larger and heavier. It's especially painful because I was averaging nearly 42 miles/gallon with my A3 TDI. However, it's unclear whether or not these fuel economy figures would have been impacted by whatever solution Audi/Volkswagen comes up with to meet the emission requirements. For me, it's the perfect compromise of size, comfort, quality, and luxury. I also considered the BMW X1 and the Mercedes GLA, but these two alternatives were significantly more expensive when comparably equipped. The Q3 is really an excellent value and I'm looking forward to years of driving this exceptional vehicle.

First of all, I have owned a lot of cars. But, I think I found the one. I bought this car four months ago. I have the premium plus. So here is what I like: I love the feel of a luxury car. When I close the door, I feel closed off from the outside and it is VERY quiet, I like that. I love the leather, the style and the look of the car. The instrument panel is really nice. It's easy to understand and easy to operate. What I was really surprised about is the power and the handling of the car. It has more power than I am use too. That is not something I really look for in a car, but this one has it and I find that I really like it.

I purchased my 2016 Prestige Q3 quattro with the Sport Package in Nov 2015 and love this SUV. I surprised myself when I bought this since I wasn’t looking for a “luxury” SUV. However, I had shopped for over a year and drove virtually every other SUV in its’ class and was just not impressed with the drive and handling (or sound systems) of the Q3’s competitors. I love how this SUV handles on winding roads and love driving it so much I look for excuses to take it out! I’ve read several reviews suggesting the Q3 may have below average acceleration and power but have not found this to be the case at all, even with passengers in the car. To me it’s like driving a sports car with an awesome sound system. Some blogs suggest you can purchase a Sprint Booster module for even faster acceleration but I don’t feel I need it. There is no lag in acceleration when I hit the gas unlike other SUVs in its’ class that I have test driven. I’ve only needed to take in for service for the first oil change/checkup; its' basically been flawless since I bought it over a year ago. Update on 1/5/18. Over 2 years out and still loving my Q3. Perhaps the most important update I can give is that after all this time (closing in on 25K miles) I have had zero issues with my Q3. Hence, the quality of Audi's vehicles has held up in my case. I've also seen where Edmonds reviews lists sluggish performance and handling as negatives for the Q3. I can't speak for later models but I'm still very happy with the peppy acceleration on my Q3 and strongly disagree with the handling point. My Q3 is a dream to drive and handles extremely well on winding and downhill roads. This was a major selling point for me after driving many other SUVS. Breaking is also smooth and dependable. The infotainment system is admittedly dated (but has worked just fine) and gas mileage could be better (though has been slightly better than advertised in my case), however, these were not my highest priorities when purchasing my Q3. My advise is to test drive a Q3 if your looking to by a compact SUV and not go strictly by the reviews.

Yes, this car could have used 50 more horsepower in the 2.0T model, however the highway mileage is a sensational 33mpg at 65mph (with 89 octane fuel) It has a nice tight suspension with a super quiet ride. I was looking for a car for 2 years prior to buying this Q3 and am very pleased. It has taken me from Key West to the mountains of Northern Maine in a confident, safe and secure way. The down sides: Be aware that the display is in desperate need of upgrading, the Pirelli brand of tire needs to be changed to Michelin.

Love the performance and the connection to the road, the logical interior layout and equipment without stupid extras . My biggest criticism is the height of the media/nav window that you cannot get rid of- cannot fold down or black out. I am 5' talk and it is right at eye level and VERY distracting to drive with, more so at night! If I cannot get used to it... It might make me reconsider the car- which I LOVE on every other level!!!

I got this car for my wife, it's her 2nd Q3. Previously she had the premium plus fwd. Honestly if you compare it to the average small SUV out there, this thing is absolutely fantastic. She loves how it looks, it drives better than competitors due to the Audi Quattro. There is nothing like a Quattro Audi, I drive one myself as well and even if you don't get snow it's really nice the way it handles the road. The main thing about the Q3? It listens to the driver. Go try the x3 or the x1 or the lexus rx: they're great cars but they have a mind of their own. The other thing is that we got an amazing deal thanks to Edmunds forums. I found out the residuals and the money rate, I followed advice on how to shop and I got a really great deal. It's a premium plus with the sport plus trim, which makes it look even nicer than stock. Anyways, we love our Audis and as long as I can afford to drive them I will. When I can't I'll switch to VW.

Very happy with the car in general. We use it both here in suburbia, and in our trips up the mountain to our home there. For a 4-cylinder, performs well, with good acceleration and an extremely smooth ride. The handling is amazing - like a sports car. With the leather interior the cars smells so good! :-) The trunk is small-ish, so if you have kids maybe this is not the car for you - consider the Q5. But it holds a LOT with the rear seats down if you have to haul something. Minor quirk - I would have liked the adjustable steering column to have more adjustment down, as it sits a little high for me, even as a 6 foot driver. Mileage: On the highway, the indicator shows about 32 MPG - not bad. But actual measurement is about 29 on the highway - surely a modern 4-cylinder can do better!

I have never had a car payment until I purchased this car and I was more than happy to pay the large monthly payment when I considered all the "upgrades" and the luxury of driving an Audi. I have had nothing much tech/mechanical issues since the day I bought the car. Overall it is a very nice car. Its stylish, it's okay on pick up (but nothing like the Maxima) the interior styling is very nice and the trunk/folding down rear seats are why I mostly wanted to upgrade to an SUV. However, the minor down sides eventually became so irritating I traded it in for a BMW Gran Turismo. The windows constantly needed the "pinch sensor" reset. which means my windows would roll up and then immediately roll back down. This happened 4x. I would need to call and either talk through it with a tech over the phone or drop it off for reset. My BLUEtooth never worked properly. Heaven forbid I answer a call while my 3rd party player was streaming music.... after the call ended I would have to reset the bluetooth system and again maybe play 2 songs before it randomly disconnected. My AC stopped working 7 months into owning the car. ( that was the last straw) The car is very nice, but it didn't wow me. Even aside from the minor issues....the tech package is bland at best. Certainly nothing I wouldn't expect in any other brand, luxury or not. Just did not live up to the luxury I expected from an Audi.

Got the Q-3 when my A-6 expired after 195,000 miles. From my perspective its a great replacement. Interior feels like an Audi - has space for my family of 4, but it cost less to insure, less to fill with gas, and cost a lot less than a new A-6. My mother-in-law really likes the Q-3 because it is just the right height for getting into and out of - the A-6 was too low and my wife's Land Rover Disco was too high.

This is not a GTO! But, it's perfect for my wife who wants a very safe car with blind side warning, 4 wheel drive for a snowy Boston area uphill driveway and comfortable seating. Just the right hight to get in and out easily and still sit up a bit so you can see. The back seat is cozy, but easily handles two grandkids. Very quiet interior (compared to a Camry): all the technology requires re-education, but it works well. Not sure about maintenance costs, but initial reports are good and frequency of oil changes and the like are every 10,000 to 15,000 miles after a dealer paid 5,000 mile =checkup

Well you can say what you want about the limitations of the Q3, on the whole the vehicle is a fine machine. My 2016 Q3 has now 21,150 miles on it and has not missed a beat. Recently drove from Houston, Texas to Fair Haven, Vermont and back in ten days; it was a great experience from start to finish. The Q3 met every challenge along the way averaging 32.5 mph at posted speeds. Handled great, avoiding two possible truck encounters and a Northeaster that dumped 24 inches on us in Vermont. The all wheel option did well in the snow as well as in the rain and ice. Heated seats came in handy in 5 degree weather while the heated side mirrors made it easy to drive in the blowing snow conditions. A USB port would be nice but the Bluetooth option for Pandora and Audible made the trip a fun experience. If you want a good value with multiple option plus good mileage, the Q3 is an SUV worth considering. Now a few more miles down the road and still enjoying my ride. On short coming is the lack of “gritty-up” to enter feeder lanes for our Texas highways; 50 more horse power would make a difference, then again Texas drivers love to go 80 in a 70 while staying on your bumper might have more to do with the sense you may be in somebody’s way creating that “need for speed”. I have 12 months left on my lease and probably will move up to a Q5 on the next go around. Something a little bigger and a better power to weight ratio.

This 2016, Audi Q-3, Prestige Quattro, is a nice design. PROS: The colors are great both Inside (chestnut brown leather) and Out (cuvée silver metallic). The car holds the road firmly and has a good ride. The steering is crisp and the breaking is excellent. Headlights are awesome when driving at night on unlit roadways. Seats are fairly comfortable with the Sport Package that was included as an option. However, not nearly as comfortable as the seats in an A-4. Sight lines out of the car are great. CONS: the electronics (Nav, phone, Wi-Fi) are a little difficult to get used to, but can be handled with some practice. Heated seats take forever to warm up. Rear view camera takes too long to turn off after shifting back to a forward gear. The only engine available for this car, 2.0 L / 4 cylinder / TFSI, that produces 200 hp & 207 ft-lb torque, is minimally enough for the car. And that's with just me as the driver. If I had 3 other adult passengers in the car with me, the engine would struggle even more to get the car moving. The 6 speed transmission seems to do a good job, but could certainly use more support from the engine. And, driving the car in the "S" gear to get the engine more power, forget about it! The gas mileage would be terrible for a 4 cylinder engine. I think the worst part is that this same 2.0 L engine with 6 speed transmission is used in several other Audi models. But, they have way more hp and engine torque and even get way better gas mileage. Unfortunately, this car/crossover/ SUV paired with this weak engine does not live up to the standards set by this brand's other proven models. Quite the let down!

2017 Audi Q3 Premium Plus FWD (front wheel drive)

I used to own an Audi A4 ten years ago so decided to sell my noisy Volvo and go back to Audi. I wanted a small SUV this time with all the bells and whistles. The dealer had a loaded AWD that we drove. I was impressed with the way it handled and drove. Living in Florida, I figured a front wheel drive would be enough for us, so we ordered a FWD Premium Plus. After delivery and driving it several times, I felt like it was not like the car we drove at the dealer. It was sluggish and hesitated at stop lights and the shift points seemed off. I made an appointment at around 2500 miles to have it checked out. No problems were found; the Audi tech said he wanted to explain something that we may not have known when we ordered the SUV. He said the AWD and FWD have different transmissions and the AWD is more spirited and reacts when stepping on the gas, whereas the FWD is more economy minded. A light went off in my head that answered my nagging question. Now, I have a one year old Audi Q3 that I don't find fun to drive anymore. I'm waiting for the 2019 Q3 and Q4 models to come out, but in the mean time, Consumer Reports Magazine just put the new 2018 BMW X3 at the top of the list for compact SUV's. I plan to go test drive it soon.

Just purchased a brand new 2017 Audi q3. After two week's of having it and driving just under 300 miles the car is already back at Audi to get the engine worked on.. My wife was driving home from work when it started to shack uncontrollably causing her to pull to the side of the road. Thank god she wasn't on the highway at the time. The car would not move without shacking. The car was towed to the for them to fix. The dealership was helpful and apologized of course. Never the less I find this completey unacceptable given the fact the we have to go threw this with a brand new car. Love the look of both inside and out but so far has not been reliable.

This is my first Audi, but I have had several VWs and they are the same "family". I have owned it 6 months. It is nimble, handles the road well and it accelerates well when I need it to. I love back country roads with hills and corners and would call this a "driver's car". If you enjoy driving, this is great for that and driving is not boring. I already used the word nimble, but I emphasize this word here as it makes me smile and I often think "I am one with the car" when I drive this. I drove in ice and snow with it for the first time earlier this week. These were bad conditions and a 45 minute drive took me 2 1/2 hours and my Audi handled it like a champ, truly. Other cars were spun off to the side and this vehicle stayed on track (of course I drive according to the conditions) and my car simply did it well. As for complaints, I would say that being able to change songs on my MP3 or change stations on my radio ought to be on the steering wheel vs. the dash. I also am waiting for my first oil change (soon) to have them do something to update my GPS maps as this car doesn't "get" newer construction and simply thinks I'm off-road at times. But, aside from that, it is a joy to own and drive, so very quiet and I have to also say that not a week goes by without a stranger telling me it is "so pretty" and complimenting it. Someone helped me out of a store with something heavy not long ago and stopped in their tracks and stated "You have my dream car!" and I did enjoy that. Something is awfully fun about having people making a remark regularly about how nice the car is, I admit that. I have never felt compelled to write a review before of any car I have owned, but I love this so much that I decided that I needed to share. It is simply just a happy vehicle for me to own, I like happy! Updated, at Edmunds request at a few weeks less than one year of ownership: I still love the car. I'm still as happy as I was before. It is a great vehicle and it is all the things I said previously. I've not got about 18,000 miles on it. People literally stop me in parking lots or gas stations to tell me what a pretty car it is, and I still love that. I had an incident with the car where I avoided hitting a dog in the road (sadly it was running free) and hit a curb and destroyed a tire. It needed a front end alignment after that. Everything is fine, the vehicle handled an incident like that well and I was quickly able to adjust my driving and avoid hitting something. It brakes well, handles well, does it all. As stated previously, my only less than perfect rating is the technology. The radio is sluggish when you try to surf stations, not being able to change stations using the steering wheel is a negative on long rides. The sound is good. The GPS is "old school" and not a touch screen and it sometimes doesn't know where it is, forget trying the voice commands as it never gets what you say, even if it is said clearly. An update of that would be $420 dollars at the dealership, so no thanks on that. I have a previously purchased Garmin in the car and will use that for long trips at the same time as the navigation in this car as I now do not trust it. One time I was in the car driving in Rhode Island and it literally placed my car out in the ocean rather than on the route. That was truly bizarre. Yet, 95% of the time it works just fine. I need dependability for appointments and trips, so hence the need to have the Garmin on hand.

I just bought a brand new car for two months and only drive it for about 500 miles. The car unexpectedly started to shake and then flameout during the drive, I tried to restart the car but the engine light turned on so I had to pull to the side of the road and will ask road assistant to tow it to the dealer one week later. The Q3 is pretty outside and inside, I used to like it very much but now I regret to buy it. This car is totally unsafe and not reliable. What if this happened on the highway. Additionally, when I drive the car I feel the transmission didn't change smoothly. I can clearly feel a "break" when I release the gas pedal slightly. This is really a lemon car! I used to have a Volkswagon beetle and had really bad experience with it but now the new Audi has the similar issue. Very disappointed.

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.

Virtually everything I expected and more. There are two things I really dislike, both rather minor but still a real pain in the rear. The worst is the wiper control. The "rain sensor" control is simply maddening! I live on the coast, so I deal with a lot of fog and drizzle. With the wiper on the lowest speed it works well for a while, then the rain sensor kicks in and speeds things up. After a little longer it speeds up more until the wipers and going quite fast. This is in a drizzle, sometimes only a coastal mist. If there is a bit of real rain everything just speeds up more and more. The tech people said it was something I would have to live with and control the wipers by using the wiper bar. A bit tacky for a "high-end" car. The other dislike is the proximity of the brake pedal to the accelerator: it's simply too close. I nearly always bang into the brake pedal when I lift my foot off the accelerator. A minor annoyance, but one that better design should have altered.

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.

I am shopping for a Q3 or Tiguan or Jeep Cherokee. The Vw and Jeep show 5 star crash and safety ratings on stickers but I have not been able to find these test results on the Q3. I own a W Q5 and the rating is available What Gives Wudi

AC Problems

Overall, I absolutely love my Audi. The back seat is a little tight with an infant car seat (Chicco Keyfit). I have to slide the front passenger seat up to fit it in the car seat base. It’s SUPER compact but definitely ideal for someone without kids or someone that doesn’t take a lot of family vacations. It’s not really my ideal SUV for a road trip - too crammed for multiple passengers. I bought this car in November 2021 with 45k miles. At the end of August 2022 I started hearing a ticking/knocking coming from the front end. Long story short - my AC compressor went out and it’s about $2,500 to fix. In the year I’ve had it, I’ve put the average yearly miles on it (15k miles) and have gotten it maintenanced as it’s suppose to be. I’m getting rid of it before anything else major can go wrong!

The car is great but I still haven’t figured out the navigation system. I found no tutorials online for my particular make and model so I still can use the Navi.
