Is the Audi A3 a reliable car in terms of its engine?

I'm hoping to purchase a new Audi A3 but I've heard mixed reviews about its engine reliability. Can someone shed some light on this?

According to Consumer Reports, the Audi A3 has a fairly average rating for engine reliability. However, it's always important to regularly maintain your car to ensure its longevity.

I've personally owned an Audi A3 for over 5 years and have had no issues with the engine. As long as you stick to the recommended maintenance schedule and drive responsibly, you shouldn't have any major problems.
