Are there any known faults with the Audi Q3?

I am considering buying an Audi Q3 but notice that a significant number are back on the market within twelve months. Do you know of any problems that might be a reason for this? Alternatively can you recommend a similar vehicle, different manufacturer? We are looking for a vehicle higher off the ground and easier to get into than a saloon car.

The reason is possibly ex-demonstrator or ex-rental fleet sales. I don't hear of private buyers rejecting S3s. Very little feedback. There's nothing adverse apart from very light steering. Better to go for smaller wheels with deeper profile tyres for better steering feel and ride quality - do not be misled into specifying 19-inch or 20-inch wheels. You're paying money for status, but a lot less money than for a Range Rover Evoque that's about the same size.
