We've updated our reliability stats for the A3 to include owner experiences through the end of 2014.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2015 A3: 0 -- excellent launch, no repairs reported for any of 25 cars during 2014
We'll have further updates in May and in August. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.

We'll have another update soon.
For now I'll say there's no compelling reason to split the A3 and S3 yet, but if more owners sign up we'll be able to do this, if necessary, in the future. More S3s would be especially helpful.

Our reliability stats for the A3 and S3 now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.) In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year ("low" is best):
2015 A3 / S3: 23, low

Reliability? Why is that even a concern? All modern cars are reliable. The differences are small. It isn't like I'll pick an Accord over the S3. I don't care if I have to bring the S3 to the dealer for repairs a couple more times per five years than the Honda. The whole reliability thing reminds me of folks that still worry about getting a flat tire.

Our reliability stats for the A3 now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.) Repair trips per 100 cars:
2015 A3: 25, low

We've updated our reliability stats for the A3 to include owner experiences through September 30, 2015. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2015 A3: 32, moderate
We'll have further updates in February and in May. Additional participants are needed to provide precise stats for all model years--we especially need more 2016s.

I joined, but when I try and complete the repair history, it asks for the body style, then model and then powertrain. It does not offer me a choice for powertrain, and displays this error: "You must specify a powertrain." As a result, I cannot finish the survey. Anybody else have that problem?Y
