I am in the process of purchasing a new car and am interested in the Audi A3 2.0 Liter and Mercedes CLA 250 2.0 Liter. I am very familiar with Mercedes and love the brand. If anyone has owned an Audi, what was the repair history like? I think the Mercedes CLA is hands down way better looking than the Audi A3; but enjoy the sound and power of the Audi A3. If anyone has any feedback on gas mileage, repair history, or anything that might help me make a better decision I'd love to hear what you have to say.

 

I'm waiting for Consumer Reports to review the 2015 Audi A3.

They didn't give the CLA a good review in the April 2014 issue.

 

Thanks CrazyHawk! Have you owned an Audi? If so, what was the repair history like?

 

I owned a 2001 A4 1.8t. It had more problems than my Subaru.

After the warranty, find an independent mechanic to save.

 

Thanks, that helps!
