Thinking of buying the 2023 Audi A3?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2023 Audi A3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2023 Audi A3 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the A3
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 7 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, unknown or other and communication. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with front-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 7.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 22 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $113.20. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the A3
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
What the A3 is like
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. For luggage, 311 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A3 answers the big questions.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $113.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
