Default Considering an A3

I am looking at making a vehicle change this summer and one of my potential candidates is the A3. Are there any things I should be cautious of? Any important service items that I should make sure have been done? Is this a reliable vehicle (I love the looks)? any guidance that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Is that the new one? I came in hoping I can find some answers OP was asking. Looking for a A3 2.0t myself as well.

The A3 is a very nice car. I hope you find a good conditioned one and you can enjoy it for years to come.
Check out A3/S3/RS3 to see if anyone there might have answers to your questions.
