2022 Audi A3 Premium Plus 4dr Sedan AWD w/40 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)
In less than 12 months and under 14k miles the gearbox needed complete replacement. This alone needed multiple visits because the service department at Audi refuse to admit anything is wrong and try to wait until your car is no longer under warranty if at all possible. The car also had a code coming up for 2 months until the service dept would address that. Tires are cheap and wear down … quickly (20k miles or so and it’s time to go). CarPlay integration is bad. With a fully equipped AWD a3 at 50k I expected way more from this car and far better service. Audi is not luxury, it’s such a scam experience. I’ll be going back to a reliable Toyota before this car is out of warranty- and I’d take a Corolla any day over this overpriced garbage. Don’t do it, you’ll definitely regret this one.
