2013 Audi A3 User Reviews

Pros

Great Fuel Economy, fit and finish very good, handles very well, looks great, has a solid feel

Cons

B Pillar blocks passing lane view, pricey, slight turbo lag, a slightly rough ride

Purchased As New

Overall I am very pleased with my first Audi and first German car in decades. Great fuel mileage and the excellent Audi fit and finish and sleek but still adult styling are what attracted me at first. But I have been suprised a bit by the power (in Sport mode) and also the nimble handling. Ride is a bit rough and it is not as quiet inside as the bigger Audis but the A3 is by no means a noisy car. My biggest issues are the price and one that may seem picky, but it has to do with safety - that is, there are problems seeing traffic to the rear and side because of the placement of the B pillar. This car needs a blind spot feature! So far there have been no reliability issues and only one relatively minor service advisory due to biodiesel fuel sold in Illinois possibly causing issues with engine oil (but the car has so far shown no problems.)...read morehide

Purchased As New

Got this new, replacing an 8 year old SUV. Glad I made the switch. Great car. A bit pricey with all the options in it. Like all germans cars, only the air is included in the initial price. Opted for navigation, premium sound, dual moon roof etc. ALl are excellent. Enjoy driving the car. A little front heavy, but the 4WD mean it is very sure footed....read morehide
