Thinking of buying the 2020 Audi S3?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2020 Audi S3 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2020 Audi S3, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 1 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Fuel use is rated 9.5 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 29 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $16.63. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 283 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the S3 answers the big questions. A test week in the S3 tells you more than any review. If the S3 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.63 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $166.30 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2020 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
When you know your dates
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 2020 Audi S3 from us first.
