Audi A3

"Excellent acceleration and handling for a small car - very fun to drive"

"great acceleration and handling"

"Never feels like it's out of power or out of the right rev range, fast"

"Excellent acceleration from any speed. Great steering controls. Tight control of car."

"Good handling and very good acceleration for the money."

"Very zippy ! Great quartro handling !"

"smooth acceleration, great cornering, nice ride."

"There is a slight hesitation when changing from reverse to drive. About a second before accelerator kicks in."

"Excellent control, damping and adequate performance -- acceleration, handling, etc"

"The handling and acceleration are superb. The car always feels under control and acceleration is truly awesome"

"Very good acceleration and handling. Stays firmly planted with little body roll in aggressive cornering. Responds quickly to driver inputs EXCEPT for turbo lag from standing start."

"A rocket on suction cups"

"Great handling and good acceleration"

"Acceleration & handling are excellent. I love the light signals for cars" in the blind spot.". Best car ever."

"Love the acceleration. The power is there instantly when you need it, such as on Interstate highway on-ramps and in tight spots. The car hugs the road nicely on backroads."

"The A3 is a joy to drive. It accelerates smoothly and assertively, corners well, responds reliably and predictably to steering movements, and brakes effectively. Happy to drive it anywhere, anytime!"

"Good pep and great handling in all weather including heavy rain"

"Very quick acceleration. The dual clutch transmission is always in the correct gear and down shifts really quick as needed. If you prefer to shift yourself the transmission responds immediately with no hesitation. Car hugs the roads amazingly yet the ride is very comfortable."

"There is a few seconds of hesitation before the vehicle responds, and then acceleration is not always smooth."

"it has little to no turbo lag and drives very smoothly and stable for what is perceived to be a small car"

"Very responsive steering. Quick, fast acceleration."

"It has excellent cornering and, with 4 wheel drive, it sticks well on slippery surfaces."

"Does everything i ask of it and carries loads of stuff."

"A sports car that is disguised as a 4 door sedan."

"Fast and on suction cups"

"best handling and driving of any car I have owned except my Porsche 911"

"CVT is sub-optimal."

"No problems"

"Turbo lag is bad"

"Very small enginer"

"GREAT acceleration!!! Handling is very good, maybe not as good as a BMW 3 series, but very good none-the-less."

"Doesn't have the pick-up I'd like from a dead stop."

"Zippy"

"This car handles (corners, braking) as well as anything in its class, better than other cars of similar size costing far greater prices (BMWs, especially)."

"This car is very comfortable on long trips. We bought it in Dec, 2015, and have driven to visit our adult children 10 hours away twice. We arrive tired but not as tired as we expected. We have also taken two trips of 6 hours each. We are very pleased with how this car handles and how easy it is to drive."

"Quartro, 2.0 liter performance is excepruo"

"Very poor visibility Rear seat headrests take up about half of rear window view"

"acceleration, MPG very good, handles very well."

"excellent performance as well as nice interior almost like a luxury car."

"A3 is a nimble car with excellent handling, power (2.0T), acceleration. A dream to drive."

"Acceleration is great, handling is terrific. Transmission is distracting and quirky."

"Seats are comfortable & ride is quite good, but the vehicle allow quite a bit of road noise to intrude primarily at highway speeds."

"Mag ride shocks make this a great ride..."

"Comfortable seats and ride especially at highway speeds is comfortable with positive feedback"

"Great handling ! Fast little car!"

"Very comfortable on highway trips. Quiet. Sporty ride but controlled well."

"The car is very comfortable. The seats can be adjusted every which way necessary. The ride is very smooth."

"Handling and good seats."

"The ride and handling are well-controlled, damping harsh surfaces while providing necessary feedback."

"Very quiet inside even on the highway. Seats are very comfortable especially with 4 way adjustable lumbar support. Ride is sporty yet not too rough."

"Size"

"Very supportive seats and considering summer performance tires and being a small car, the comfort on some long road trips was excellent"

"Seats are comfortable, but road noise is a bit high. Not surprising for a convertible"

"While the ride is still good, at 30K miles it is noticeably looser than when new"

"Long trips are long."

"Even for tall drivers, the A3 is immensely comfortable. Seats have ample padding, adjustable lumbar, fully adjustable. Dual climate control is top notch. Quiet ride; minimal road noise. Easy to drive; hugs the road; remarkable handling with very little roll in curves, yet absorbs poor road conditions for smooth ride."

"Seats and noise level are good but could be better. I am quite satisfied with climate control, ride, etc."

"Level of noise while driving is unsatisfactory"

"Climate control seats are all excellent. Road noise is more than we expected"

"Seats are next to impossible to adjust. I got the basic model without electrics seats"

"The seats should have "auto recall" for at least 2 drivers but they don't. The seat controls are manual, not electric, but they should be electric. Most importantly, one has to manually lock the doors when the car is in 'park" - once in 'park' the doors unlocl :("

"Sports suspension causes the ride to be harder than I would prefer. It was part of a package including sports seats which I like."

"Seats are not power seats and can only be adjusted by a series of levers -- can't seem to get the angle just right."

"rear seating area is a bit tight. Not suitable for larger adults"

"needs better seats to match performance (and this has performance package with upgraded seats but need better bolaters)."

"My last car had a high level of road noise. Quieter ride was a priority for me. My Audi A3 provides a quiet ride and provides a high level of comfort in all the listed areas."

"Seats are too flat. Steering wheel is great, suspension is great, engine is very powerful. Transmission is not smooth, especially at start or slower uphill roads. I would not get the six speed DSG transmission again."

"Super comfortable and very supported for driving any distance."

"though convertible, VERY quiet when top is up, seats are a bit narrow, would be better to sell this car without a back seat since it's virtually inaccessible when two adults in the front (unless you're very short adults)"

"Compared to others, a good value"

"Price as a used vehicle was very competitive. Car is fun and agile. Perfect for a couple or small family. Very reliable so far."

"Audi REQUIRES that the vehicle be brought to the dealer to clear a dash notification "INSPECTION REQUIRED" -and they will not do that unless you purchase a maintenance and inspection service. This is a direct violation of Federal Law as outlined on the FTC website."

"Pricey but interior vents are plastic and don't look like a luxury vehicle, but you still pay a price"

"Quality materials and design exceeding that of more expensive brands. Fuel economy is better than most hybrids. Despite parent company VW woes over diesel engine emission, this engine far exceeds the life expectancy of unleaded engine equivalents."

"looks good like a true Audi."

"The car is trim, beautiful, draws attention from others. It is tasteful and preforms as it promised."

"No privacy glass available."

"Super nice look style"
