Most Helpful Review

Good build quality

Good build quality and also it has a great value for money however the airbags are not so good and also comfort wise this car is not so affordable overall pricing range makes this car good.

Audi a3

I used this car since years. This car is very comfortable and luxurious. But the service cost is very high. This was the problem only. Otherwise, the car was very good. The car looks sporty and luxurious.

2017 Audi A3 35 TDI First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali24 Feb 2017

Premium compact sedans were unheard of when Audi India brought along the A3 in mid-2014. Sharing market space with a few luxury hatchbacks at the time, the A3 ticked most of the right boxes for first-time premium car buyers and came with a good mix of luxury and performance. Fast-forward three years and this segment has expanded somewhat, allowing Audi India to burst on to the scene again with the updated 2017 A3.
