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.

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.
