Used Audi Q3 for Sale

I have always been brand loyal to Audi, so when it was time to get rid of my 2002 A6, I decided to look at something that would be very versatile. I looked at comparable vehicles such as BMW X3's and Acura MDX's just to name a few because I thought I wanted a change of pace. I then came across a 35k mile Q5 that was at my local Audi dealer and decided to stop in and glance at it. I became hooked after the test drive! Felt smooth, comfortable and the interior is well designed. I have put nearly 20K miles on it in a little more than a year and a half and am glad I decided to stay loyal to the Audi brand.

The Audi Q3 is a premium subcompact crossover that serves as the smaller and less expensive sibling to the automaker's Q5. It's sold in two levels of trim: Premium and Premium Plus. With the Premium trim, you get standard features such as xenon headlights, roof rails, a panoramic sunroof, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, leather upholstery, Bluetooth connectivity and a 10-speaker sound system. The Premium Plus trim adds a power lift gate, power-folding exterior mirrors, blind-spot monitoring, and keyless entry and ignition. Both trims are available with a Sport package that adds larger wheels and sport fronts seats, and you can also upgrade your Q3 with an Audi MMI Navigation Plus package that adds in navigation and a color driver information display. All Q3 models get their motivation from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Both front-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission are standard, and all-wheel drive is available. In reviews, we've praised the Q3 for its pleasant ride quality in most situations. Its cabin also wins high marks for being attractive and solidly assembled, with good build quality and premium materials. However, the Audi Q3 garners criticism for less than precise handling and mediocre acceleration for the class. Its braking and steering are also middle of the road, and the cabin is less spacious than those of certain rivals.

The power fold-in mirrors save the day when you are trying to squeeze the car into a small garage and you don't want to get out and go around to the passenger side to fold in the mirrors in bad weather. I live in the Northeast, so that happened a lot with my old car. Now, the problem is solved! You can get a cheaper car but not one with all the engineering of an Audi. I'm very happy with mine.
