2018 Audi Q3 Consumer Reviews

A great car. purchased it two weeks ago and really enjoying it. Low mileage only 30,000 miles. Highly recommended.

This car will be 6 years old at Christmas 2023. Has been in EVERY state east of the Mississippi. Most states several times. Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. Florida twice yearly at least. Excellent gas mileage 32+ mpg on the road. 30 around town. Quiet. Comfortable. (Could also be due to Michelin tires?). Anyhow, just terrific. When it is not on the road it is a garage Queen, waiting for the next trip. This year we go to Mississippi, Louisiana for 2 weeks for Cajun food, zydeco music and tour Laurel, Oxford, Natchez and Vicksburg. St Francisville for history and food and Lafayette for Cajun and crabs. BTW I am 81, spouse 71. NEVER, EVER use the Interstate system. Just the old Blue Highways for us. Never met an a**hole on any of our travels. Everyone asked has always been a help for food, directions, places to stay or places that are a must see.

Bought the car back in 2019 used with 41000 miles. Been the best overall car I've ever had. Not a great family car if over four people but otherwise been a great vehicle. Been reliable so far. Have had an issue with the car not always accepting the key when close to the door or inside the car to start . Had to look at the car manual to figure how to always get in and start when it wouldn't accept it. Overall no complaints. Driving it is awesome. Better than the 40 plus other vehicles I've owned

This car is everything I dreamed of. I went from driving a small sedan and wanted something more suitable for the winter months. I feel extremely safe when driving in the snow with this car. It is also very comfortable, so I can't complain when I am stuck in traffic. The bose speakers are pretty awesome too. The only issue I have had in the 3 years I've had this car was a broken clock spring which is not super uncommon for this model apparently, but it is a repair covered under warranty if you have it. There is plenty of trunk space and the back seats are comfy! My dog loves going for rides in my Q3 - however I do have a seat protector over the back seats. I am a big Audi enthusiast and will tell everyone how much I love my Q3. Don't let the idea of owning a luxury car scare you, it's well worth it in my opinion.

Overall, yeah, pretty decent car. I've been driving it for 2.5 years. I have the premium with 20" wheels, AWD and some of the extras. Just underwhelmed with performance. Unless it's in sport mode, the thing doesn't really wanna respond as I feel it should. Also the tech. Yikes. Frustrating at best. The business with the doors not unlocking all the time when you are standing three inches from the car, or it locks instead, is extremely annoying. Small things like this mean a lot when you're paying upwards of 40K for a small suv. Pros - comfortable front seats, good handling and the bright blue one I have looks really nice. Just won't be getting another when turn this one in after the lease is up shortly. Overpriced for what you get.

I've owned several German made cars and while I truly love most Mercedes products, I am enamored with this little Audi. I had a Q7 about 10 years ago and it was just a pleasure to drive...that's how I feel about this Audi. It's a pleasure to drive and I don't have the high price of a MB....nor the feeling that I'm trying to be something I'm not....lack of pretense. I read a lot of reviews complaining about lack of power and lack of room in the back. I would say I'n not missing any power and the back may be small but I'm not riding back there and it is a small vehicle...so, I'm not expecting it to be the Q5 or Q7. My last 2 vehicles have been BMW and oh, I am sick inside about the trouble and money I spent on them. I wanted them to be awesome and man they just are not. I'll drive this Audi over a BMW any day. The Benz? They are so nice but....for the money...this Audi hits the spot.

Overall, a nice car, and fun to drive. Roomy for a 6'5" guy, and we've had four adults riding around comfortably. And it's a nice car for a long trip too. My biggest issue, and it's not a huge one, is that the electronics or maybe the car's computer, seems to act up now and again. For example, sometimes the radio locks up, or the car doesn't recognize that I'm standing three inches away from the door and it still doesn't automatically unlock for me. Or when the door sensors get wet they lock and unlock the car. Or the bluetooth doesn't automatically activate and I have to go through the whole setup thing again and keep my fingers crossed. Had higher technical expectations from the Germans. Never had any problems like these with my Volvo XC70 - which was totaled and why I ended up with the Q3. Of course the dealership says there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe it's just my car/model, I don't know. I recommend the car overall, but probably will not be keeping this one past the lease end.

I recently purchased my Audi Q3 (2016) Prestige in December of 2019. Audi has an amazing knack for creating super chic and powerful cars. The exterior and interior of this car are honestly unmatched to its competitors. The handling is also quite a dream, as I do own the Prestige model which offers Dynamic and Comfort modes for steering/transmission. It does have the same engine as the Audi A4, which having owned an A4 before this, does make it seem a bit sluggish but once it gets going it's a BEAST. This machine handles extremely well in all weather conditions... Quattro power in this car is outstanding.
