The 2022 Audi A3 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2022 Audi A3 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. 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 sets out the 2022 Audi A3 for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 9 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, air bags and power train.
The figures, translated
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid drives through a 7-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 7.3 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 22 litres of fuel. In energy, every 100 km costs about $11.32 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Size and space
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The body is 4.50 m long and 1.82 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots. With 311 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the A3 suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the A3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
