The 2022 Audi S3: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2022 Audi S3 before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2022 Audi S3 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the S3
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 2 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, electrical system and power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here 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. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
A combined rating of 8.8 L/100 km works out to about 26 litres per 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $46.20 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 4.50 m long, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Its 283 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Try before you buy
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.40 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $154 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
