I must have bought a Monday Car. The build quality and customer service has been the worst of all new cars I have purchased. Received car with tire… Read more

pressures set to maximum tire pressure rating (51PSI). The TPMS produced a 'flat tire' alarm when I reduced the pressures to recommended settings. Audi service centre said the car must've been hot. I had only driven it ~2km from my house to the petrol station... Within 2 months of purchase, the driver sunshade vanity mirror cracked because it touches the ceiling vanity light when you the sunshade is closed against the ceiling. Audi said this was not in warranty. After 6 months, I complained that the clutch operation was very noisy and demonstrated to an Audi mechanic on a test drive that it is extremely noisy under certain conditions (like hill starts). Audi checked the calibration and said this model is known for its noisy clutch. Not satisfied, I returned a few months later to have it checked again. The Audi mechanic said that the clutch was noisy because I had basic sound damping material in my cheap model fully optioned Q3 TFSI 40 (?). I gave up after that. After 12 months, the left-rear-wheel was showing excess brake dust. After reporting this at each service, finally at the 36 month service, Audi acknowledged the brake pads were excessively worn and that the brake piston was sticking. And, by the way, asked me to pay for the worn brake pads. After 12 months, the instrument cluster or MMI intermittently do not turn on when starting a trip. This lasts until the car is turned off and on again. At the 24 and 36 month services, Audi acknowledged this as a common problem for which "..there is currently not a solution.." After 24 months, the electric tailgate lock stuck closed. Audi replaced the electric tailgate lock under warranty. Currently struggling with front-right suspension that squeaks every time you go over a curb with the front-right wheel first. Audi could not determine anything wrong. This Q3 chews the front-left tire (outside edge). The front-left tire last ~10,000km. Never experienced this short life - this is our 4th AWD SUV. Wheel alignment has not been out of tolerance when checked.

After years of desiring an Audi I finally got a 2017 Audi Q2 - what a disappointment. the electrics of the car have had a mind of their own from day… Read more

1 with no one being able to resolve it. The worst part however is that the two panels on either side of the car between th rear door and boot have just come off. The run around between head office and the dealership has been disgusting. They both pass the buck in a hope that you give up and get it fixed yourself. I have never spoken to more rude staff and both the service center and head office. This is the last Audi I will ever purchase the whole experience has left me hating the car and brand and I am happy to tell everyone I know.

One of the worst after sales (and in hindsight presales) experience. Considering we went for prestige vehicle experience (formerly, and now… Read more

regretfully BMW) we thought the process would be great and rewarding. However, after purchasing the 2025 Q4 Sportsback EV, it was never mentioned this vehicle does not have APP connectivity. When attempting to connect at signing the sales agent said “it s a poor app” which did surprise me, though all we wanted was functionality to see the battery level when not in the vehicle. Either way after 3 weeks of multiple emails and 3 phone calls to both AUDI customer service and the AUDI Parramatta centre and no call backs, we have a $100k car that comparably has less functionality than a $50k BYD or similar. Yes I did research, and this issue is not obvious on car reviews and social media - until now! STAY CLEAR OF AUDI AND particularly PARRAMATTA AUDI.
