A member from New Jersey, United States Best Reason to Buy the Audi A3: Powertrain performance Love the engine hate the transmission. TDI feels much stronger than the 140hp indicates. The transmission is ok while accelerating. However, while slowing it insists on shifting into first at roughly 9mph. This results in a very jerky ride in traffic. I've had the "values" reset several times. Car will be nice and smooth for maybe a week then back to it's jerky ways. Best Reason Not to Buy the Audi A3: Reliability & durability Not so much. It's been in the shop for various reasons 25 days in the first 8 months of ownership. Other Reasons to Buy the Audi A3: Fuel economy, Materials & workmanship, Handling, Audio & nav systems This member owns or leases the reviewed vehicle. read full review |

A member from Alaska, United States Best Reason to Buy the Audi A3: Exterior styling The lines are smooth, elegant, and just down right good looking. They managed to take a 5 door wagon, shrink it to a size smaller than a 4 door sedan, and make it look stunning. Some people are surprised when I open the hatch. Other Reasons to Buy the Audi A3: Cargo capacity & towing, Fuel economy, Powertrain performance, Brand reputation & image This member owns or leases the reviewed vehicle. read full review |
