My RS Q3 is a "nearly perfect city SUV" ruined by 1-star reliability. It’s zippy and handles great with the Quattro system, but the terrifying repair bills make it a 2-star value. I love the 5-cylinder sound, but the tiny boot and stiff ride make it hard to live with as a daily. It’s a fun toy, but be prepared for a heartbreak.
Performance is a 5-star rush until the engine starts shaking. My RS Q3 left me stranded with a broken valve spring just months in. While it’s a "nearly perfect city SUV" with a great Quattro system, the reliability is a dismal 1 star. It’s fun and small enough to park anywhere, but the terrifying repair bills and terrible turning radius make me regret not buying a BMW.
