Bravo!!!
We recently purchased our Q3 45 S Line. A well build car inside and out. Some of the techs work differently than American or Japanese made cars, such as there's no graphic of a car with tire psi readings. The stop/start technology works different. It doesn't activate at every stop light. It activates when the car feels there's something wrong driving wise. Such as on a slope. This is a luxury vehicle so it drives for luxury and not sport or speed. The 5 drive modes can actually be felt by the driver. Although, I ve heard differently. I can feel the differences. I ve had it one week, and I'm very pleased I purchased the Q3.

Screen placed too low!
I previously had a 2017 Q3. I traded it in for the newer model and was so disappointed by how low the screen is with the air vents placed above it. I almost went off the road and went out of my lane repeatedly while looking at the creen. I am going to trade in for a BMW because they put the screen up top with the air vents below the screen so that you can see the road at the same time you are looking at the screen. I have loved my Audis until this poor design feature so unfortunately will not buy another if it is not corrected.

Q3 Quality Issue Lots of CONS Would not recommend
I have purchased 1 toyota, 2 audis,3 subarus, 2 Mazdas, 2 Nissans, 4 Infinitis, 2 Jeeps and while I'm not a car snob and purchase for practicality reason during different phases of life, I didn't realize I had to test everything below for multiple days that the Audi q3 gave me trouble. Lots of Cons to name: 1. Jerky transmission under 20 mph. Dynamic drive mode seems to minimize the issue a bit but still apparent. 2. sunglass/glass compartment wont close, there are wires that are in the way of closure 3. Wipers stutters (feels like someone put them on backwards) lots of reviews about this issue 4. Memory seat button you have to hold down to move it... - why have a button instead of a press and release like Infiniti. 5. Back middle console can only hold soda cans size drinks, pretty dismal :( 6. When the car is parked idling... while key is still in the ignition, the car turns itself off. while off you can still move the gear and put in Reverse or Drive, but as soon as you realize the car isn't actually on, and let go of the gas, the car will move as if it was in neutral - manual re-start is a must! pretty dangerous when on a hill if you don't pay attention to the message on the dashboard. Probably the most dangerous of all things I have recently found on this vehicle. 7.The auto lock still allows passengers to open the door while the car is still in motion - dangerous , and allows passengers to unlock after the first attempt via the door handle still. 8. No Auto Dimming option override (prefers the manual way of dimming the mirrors pull up or down) This is always on, so its dark all the time 9. Roof Rack install was a failure, while driving down on the freeway at 70mph the middle plastic piece came flying off held at the end - not even sure why its not just one piece. dangerous, could get caught in the car wash. 10. LLumar Clear bra is a joke, on new vehicles, they don't stay on (i've had three now on two vehicles and bubbles all around) 11.Garage opener will only work if the car is on. unlike (home link on rear view mirror will allow opening of garage doors even with out the car being on) 12. No option to have a sound while arming your vehicle lock. I wouldn't know if it was locked from afar its nice to hear that its locked and carry on with your day, instead of having to physically get close or see your lights flicker to know its locked. 13. Liftgate doesn't have a sound /alert when closed would be nice to have this alert to know its closed all the way instead of standing to supervise (other brands have this feature) until closure. 14. Fogs up really easily, not sure why, its super annoying. I've had a brand new 2001 a4 before so I know the quality Audi can be. Still some old school features like the manual steering height adjustments and key fob still exist in the new one Audis, as well as the placement of the sunglass compartment. but the material used on the under dash as well as using partial canvas cover for the seat on the side is sad. PROS: BEST AWD Quattro system - Hugs the road with snow like a beast even when turn uphill incline 20% ish. but I'm not sure how to recommend the vehicle while the other items above is part of the driving experience. While I don't like that the vehicle has to be on to use the garage opener. I do like having more than 3 for those that have family garages/inlaws garages, business garages or gates to add to (not many will fall into this)

Great value for a small luxury SUV. Fun to drive!
I’ve had the 2022 Q3 for about 5 months and 3,000 miles and am very happy with my purchase. The Q3 has a sporty, but comfortable feel, particularly on the bumpy roads I typically drive on. The handling is excellent. Body roll is minimal. The 45 engine has respectable performance, though I would prefer a DSG automated manual vs. the standard 8-speed automatic. The turning radius “feels” better than the stated specs. This car is relatively easy to park in tight spots, particularly with the 360 degree camera. My model has the Technology Package, which I highly recommend for wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support, plus the excellent navigation system that is a good fallback in case you are in a “dead zone” for your phone’s mapping feature. If you are buying pre-owned, note that supply chain issues mean 2022 models often lack a few features. Mine is missing the blind spot monitor and the wireless charging pad. The latter is easy to replace with a $25 adapter. Many cars I test drove lack the smart key, but mine has it.
