Default How would you rate reliability of your A3?

Mine has been flawless to date (knock on wood). This Audi is the first for me and I've been pleased with it. I remember I used to hear stories about how terrible the reliability of Audis were. I think Audi has really stepped up, even mags like Consumer Reports of all rags has made positive comments about recent Audis if I'm not mistaken.

Default 3,000M no problems

A couple of days ago I've filled out a JDPower new car survey... 4 pages of nothing.

Default 3000 miles and two problems with the sunshade.

The front sunshade is sticky to retract, temperature dependant, the colder out it is, the worse it gets. The latch on the front sunshade BROKE, a piece of the latch fell out last night, calling the dealership tomorrow. To me these are minor first year run issues. Everything else with the car has been outstanding.

Default 6000 miles...only problem is the glove compartment opening on bumps...

...as well as some minor NAV+ issues and annoying wind noise at high speeds from the open sky. Other than that it has been perfect.

Default Over a year now and faultless...

Had its first service and it hasn't lost any oil on 4800M nor were there any adverse technical reports.
Very pleased to have a trouble free, performance car which is proving very cheap to own and run.
