Thinking of buying the 2016 Audi S3?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Audi S3 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before buying the 2016 Audi S3, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the S3
NHTSA has 14 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, seats and unknown or other. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 27 litres, from its 9.0 L/100 km rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $47.25 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Inside and out
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is 283 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Try the S3 on your commute, then decide. A test week in the S3 tells you more than any review.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $157.50 at our price setting.
