Thinking of buying the 2022 Audi S3?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2022 Audi S3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2022 Audi S3 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 2 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. 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.
Rated at 8.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 26 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $154. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Size and space
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.50 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Luggage space is rated at 283 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
A week with the S3 answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the S3 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.40 in fuel.
One more step
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2022 Audi S3 from us first.
