I guess if the majority of people have the same gripes, then its likely the design is wrong in the first place. i.e. Audi can improve on the car.
Fault wise that really depends on if its down to component quality. Components can fail before they are due to however if components are failing...
The A3 has thousands of components. It would be unrealistic to evaluate these on the test drive. In the limited time you have on a test drive the main concerns are, ride, performance, seating position, peddle position, is the basic layout livable and during this time you have a sales man trying...
Good and interesting feed back thank you :)
With regards to the parking brake. I'm not sure id agree its a safety feature when the likelihood of being unconscious at the wheel is less likely than accidental activation.
I might pop out and get a Bosch AGM battery for my car.
As someone else has already suggested. Living with a car and the test drive are totally different. All the reviews on the A3 were positive and didn't highlight any design/livability issues.
OMG where do I start! The A3 8V 2014 could be an amazing car but there’s too many niggles/design issues with it. My spec is a 1.8 Petrol, Manual, S-Line
MMI : Pops up by default when the ignition is switched on, even if the driver has selected close previously.

Ok, so the dealer was unable to locate the intermittent faults but they will be reporting the brake problem to Audi as a safety issue.
The good news is. i'm not going mad. The dealer gave me courtesy car, which was the same spec as my own car. The courtesy car behaved very differently to my own...
Hi all,
I've got my car (8V A3 Sportback S-Line 1.8 Manual Petrol) booked at Audi this coming week, because of a few issues. This is my first Audi and i'm apprehensive about if the dealership will fully investigate the issues/fob me off. They have been great so far and will be giving a...
I bought mine from Liverpool Audi a few weeks ago. Customer service has been excellent and they did me a great deal. One thing to keep in mind is, Audi dealership cost into the price of your car/any discounts along with after service extras. i.e. They filled my tank up with fuel today, whilst it...
Thanks for the quick reply and good to hear i'm not the only one who doesn't like the MMI popup etc. hopefully Audi will fix it on a software update soon :)
Stop/Start wise.. I've uploaded a image of the supplement I got with the car. according to that Stop/Start should deactivate when a...
I'm a proud new owner of a Sportback, 1.8 Manual in Phantom black, with comfort pack, B&O sound and folding mirrors.
I'm very happy with the car except for a few automated features.
1. Stop Start, can't permanently disable
2. MMI always pops up when the electrics come online
3. MMI always...
First post :)
I have the B&O speaker option on my new Sportback. The lighting does look very nice but is there a way to dim the lights a bit? I find them a little distracting at night when i'm driving on an unlit road.
