About the Audi A3
Premium compact hatchback with sophisticated design and solid engineering. Quality interior with modern technology. German luxury appeal.
Reliability & common issues
2.0 TFSI models from roughly 2008-2012 (Gen1/2 EA888 engine) are prone to timing chain tensioner wear causing a cold-start rattle — left unaddressed it can lead to valve damage. S-tronic (DSG) mechatronic unit is another repair cost to budget for. Later engines resolved this.
Premium sedan with luxury features. Service costs higher than mainstream. Full history important. Quality build throughout.
