Audi A3 EXPERT REVIEWS
What is really impressive about the car is the butter-smooth motor and refined engine. When the car is started, there is hardly any sound to indicate if it is running or not. Only when the accelerator is pressed hard is there a slight noise, but it is not about any vibration in the cabin; the tires make the noise.
The car is easy for city driving, offering smooth gear changes. The car is extremely throttle input sensitive. The transmission is invariably quick, not giving the slightest jerky feeling to travelers inside. The only missing link is the missing paddle shifters. However, the diesel version is slightly noisy, especially when the engine is idling; one can feel the jerks. A bit of nudge is required in the diesel version to get to the desired smoothness.
One of the biggest drawbacks of the A3 is its cabin space. Even if the space is better equipped than its closest competitor, the Mercedes CLA, the space is limited, especially considering its price. The other shortcoming is that the car starts to get strained around 5,000 rpm. Other than that, the car cruises smoothly on the highway. The cylinder-deactivation feature deactivates two out of the four cylinders for increased efficiency, and all four cylinders are activated to offer performance. However, the car is noted for being a great cruiser.
Overall, the Audi A3 is smooth and comfortable, even on potholed roads. Front and rear-seat passengers are at absolute comfort on highways, city roads, broken patches, or crowded lanes.
