Audi A3 is an entry-level luxury car. There are some issues: 1. The new car has a strong odor, excessive tire noise, and limited storage space, among other problems, which significantly affect the user experience. The seats are hard, making long-distance travel uncomfortable. 2. The car does not offer good value for money, and its regular maintenance costs are high. After three years, the accumulated maintenance costs could buy an ordinary car. 3. There is a saying: Audi A3 is a compact model under the FAW-Volkswagen Audi brand. People who buy this model mainly purchase it for the Audi brand name, without considering value for money.

From a personal perspective, let me discuss a few reasons why the Audi A3 is rarely seen on the road. As an ordinary consumer, the pricing of the Audi A3 is somewhat awkward. Although it's an entry-level luxury car, its starting price is around 250,000 yuan. With the same budget, one could opt for a larger Japanese car or a domestic SUV, which offer much more practicality. While the Audi brand is prestigious, the A3's interior space is too cramped—fitting three people in the back seat is a squeeze. It's fine for daily commuting but inconvenient for family trips or travel. Nowadays, many people prefer spacious SUVs like the Honda CR-V, which excel in practicality. Additionally, the A3 has high maintenance costs, expensive parts, and mediocre fuel efficiency, meaning owners could end up spending a lot more over ten years. From a market trend perspective, consumers lean toward hassle-free and cost-effective models. The A3 lacks advantages in its price range, naturally resulting in fewer sales.

What brand of transmission does the Compass use?

The Compass uses a ZF transmission. ZF is a transmission supplier from Germany, known as one of the world's top three transmission suppliers alongside Aisin and Getrag. Headquartered in Germany, its main products include mechanical transmissions, hydraulic automatic transmissions, various gear transmission boxes, as well as steering gears, drive axles, pumps, suspension systems, and electromagnetic clutches. The Compass transmission options include a 9-speed automatic manual transmission and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The automatic manual transmission is essentially a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality, designed to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic vehicles. When using the Compass transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so with an automatic transmission can cause overheating and a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to showcase smooth operation, but this can severely damage transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic vehicles may overheat under high loads or shift prematurely, losing power on steep inclines. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N) rather than towing it directly with a rope or similar method.

How to Check the Fuel Gauge?

To check the fuel gauge: 1. When the illuminated bars reach the 'F' position, it indicates the tank is full; 2. The closer the illuminated bars are to the 'E' position, the less fuel remains, signaling the need for timely refueling. The fuel gauge is designed to indicate the amount of fuel in the car's tank, with its low fuel warning system activating when the fuel level drops below a certain threshold, alerting the driver to refuel. Reasons for inaccurate fuel gauge readings include: 1. Poor contact or severe wear of the fuel level sensor's sliding resistor; 2. Abnormalities in the instrument circuit or loose/aged electrical components; 3. Deformation of the fuel tank or abnormal bracket positioning; 4. Loose connections or open circuits within the engine control module; 5. Loose grounding wires of the vehicle's fuel level sensor or fuel pump wiring harness.
