Yesterday's rental car was the Q3 - no Defender on the lot and my choices were an A4 or Q3 and I heard the Q3 was a mixed bag and wanted to find out if it was true.
It was TRUE. What a turd of a car especially considering its roots as an A3/Golf. Not sure why anyone buys it over a CX-5 Turbo ($5-10k less). Cheap materials, not great suspension tuning, terrible steering, drivetrain was out of sync with each other.
I rent one more time on Saturday and I hope I don't get the Q3 again. Gonna see if I can go down swinging with the best ride on their lot.
