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.

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

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.

...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.

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.

It's been in service over a month with no solution in sight,including the help of audi engineers. Love the car though and would consider another A3 if they can't fix it.
