That moment when you recognize where he is filming and its actually 2 mins away from your house😅

Nice reviews! I'm watching this in 2019. I will get my Audi A3 2015 tomorrow . Thank you for the helpful video

Something that has to be mentioned: I live in the city of Chicago and this car is ideal, not just for younger buyers, but also for we 52 year old men. Having a smaller car in the city just works. The trunk space is also pretty good. Also, Audi care is worth a mention as well. Pay $700 and your first four years of general maintenance are covered. You can also pay to have it renewed for more years, which I have done. In my time owning my 2015 A3, I have spent $500 in additional maintenance costs. That's phenomenal. And repairs? There have been none. My car has been completely 100% reliable. That to me, is what makes Audis great. I have never owned a car that was this solid, all while delivering a great driving experience. I just had mine in to the dealer for inspection this month, and it came back with no issues. Dealers love to invent stuff that you need to do, we all know that. But they didn't.

This review with its very modest production is still better than all the other ones I've watched

I appreciate the everyday driving segments of the video. That's something that is rarely covered by most other reviewers and they just spew off a lot of technical stuff. Definitely one of the more HELPFUL videos I've seen.

Awesome reviews! Best auto reviewer on youtube! Keep up the great work!

it has been 2 years since I bought my 2015 A3 sedan, everyday I look at it ...seems like it's getting newer, everyone ask me if I just got it. it shines like a mirror, it has a brilliant black colour. the wheels are also manificent a silver alloy colour. every time i seat behind the wheels it feels so good. it does pay to buy a good quality car, no problem whatsoever. because I bought brand new it did cost me a fortune $39,960 final cost, at fist I was worried but now I'm almost half way through the payments.

Got a black pre owned 2015 A3 2.0T in July, and wow, I love this vehicle so much, it’s nimble, very quick, and still has that solid high quality Audi feel. I had a 2008 A6 before and the A3 feels more expensive and clearly much more sporty. No complaints.

I recently happened to check out a used, low mileage 2011 A3 (hatchback) for $11,000 at an Audi dealer and I have to say the A3, at least the one I looked at, is a very nice car. Now, my standard of "a nice car" isn't going to be the same as yours, but compared to my personal car (a 2006 Kia Spectra SX) I was thoroughly impressed. Dual sunroof, leather seats, lots of nice features, spacious for its size, all maintenance upkeep done...for a 6 yo car this thing looked brand new. I think many would agree that a nearly $30,000 compact car is expensive but a well cared-for used one is the only way I'd go. New or used, good job Audi!

Watching this many years later. The review held up very well. Waterpump aside, theyve been very reliable

Excellent video editing and detailed review.

The most helpful video about audi a3. I'm watching this in late 2018.

So what if I accidentally pressed the engine push to start while driving I’m curious :/

Looking to pick up either a CPO Audi A3 or a current gen Honda Accord for my daughter in a few years. Any thoughts for a first car?

I know it’s several years later, and the redesigned A3 will be out for the 2022 model year, but I test drove a leftover new 2020 A3 S-Line Premium Plus w/Quattro last weekend, the first time I’ve ever driven an Audi. I liked it much more than I thought I would. I’d been leaning toward buying a nice CPO BMW 330i, but that A3 was much more fun to drive. I’m not sure I’ll buy one now, but a similar one as a CPO would be on my shortlist of cars for a future purchase.

Great review. Always love the details other reviewers do not. I do have a question. You mentioned it has torque vectoring and can have a rear bias 4wd. The a3 quattro is the haldex system not the torsen system. This is indicated by the lateral engine placement. In this system its default 100 front 0 percent rear, and can go max 50 percent rear only if the front breaks loose. Can you confirm your vehicle was haldex or torsen? Btw torsen always locked 4wd 50 50 is why quattro was famous rallying etc. Haldex system is better fuel economy as rear is not always driven.

Great review. I am watching this video in 2019. :D

In 2008, I bought a 2006 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro with ~30k miles for $28k. 7 years later, the car has 180k miles and has cost me $5k in maintenance and repairs. I took it in to Audi for regular service until it reached 120k miles, which is when Audi stops taking your car in for checkups. I've gone through two sets of brakes, tires, and halogen headlamps over the last 7 years. The car is now on it's last leg as one of the cylinders is malfunctioning. So, in short, Audis are no Lexus, but they last far longer than most people think.

Props to your Ringke Fusion iPhone 6 case! Awesome case.

Best reviewer on You tube. Great job. Keep doing your thing.

Why not include the M235i in your test or even the 228i? Would you consider the aforementioned cars in another class than the A3?

You compared it to the ILX and CLA, but how does it drive compared to the GTI?

When will you make a review of the Ram 3500 Laramie Limited?

What i would like to know is.... Does the 2016 Audi A3 2.0L Turbo AWD DOES THIS CAR BURN OIL - COMMON PROBLEM

Does it have the smart entry system?

whatever price they tell you please add at least $5k to it. you will never see one at the dealer for the base prices, except maybe a shell.

This car is 32,000-35,000 depending on the package. I think A4 is closer to 40-45k with upgraded pckgs?

Anyone know of the reliability of these? Or maintenance costs?

That is a good point about the exclamation mark. I never really thought of it as "yelling at me" but you are right. It basically is yelling.

Could you review the S3 please?

I just picked up 2010 A3 2.0T Quattro with 160,000kms. Dealer had to replace the transmission during their inspection, the area where the dealer is located is on the cliff of the mountain so it’s hard on any transmission. But I mist say, the car drives like brand new. Engine is very responsive and if you want to step on it, the engine will remain at the high rev range for you after you’ve slow down. It’s like a GTI with Quattro. But more refined inside and out. Seen many older A3 with over 200k kms so I plan to keep driving it until at least that mileage before I get a new A3. Hopefully they’ll have the sport back back in 2.0T by that time. E-Tron is pretty gutless.

Went ahead and bought one, the Scuba blue but with the Chestnut interior....really like it..

We all love ur reviews

I have the exact same Audi but in silver, it’s my daily driver. I’ve never had any issues with it , Im currently at 29k miles. It’s comfortable enough for daily driving and quick enough to pass other cars, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice DD.

Excellent review.I have the same car and im so happy with it

2015 GTI or A3 2.0T? Which ones better?

you reviews are awesome and straight up, but I wish you would compare more to the Lexus's instead of just Benz and Acura.

Could you please review the BMW 228i M sport? That might be my next car.

Please review the s3, would love to hear your thoughts

Can a 17” wheel fit on it?

I would pick one of these things used for like $20-23 with 30k miles but not new. Just seems like a bad move when premium gas is on the rise. I haven't had a premium gas taking car in awhile but the gap between 89 and 93 has seemed to grow.

Another interesting review, thank you.

My wife's car. Although the 2.0t A3 isn't the fastest car on the road, it is quick enough to get away/pass most other cars on the market. It is surprisingly quick. I really want to have the local Euro Shop run a tune on it, but she would get mad at me, lol. If it was my car I would do it.

I just got one of these couple months ago, its an amazing car even though no manual is available but the dual clutch is perfect in this car. The power in this A3 Quattro has plenty of it, I have done a rear muffler delete on it just to open up the engine and sounds deeper now. I know the CLA and ILX are the rivals, but to be honest the A3 and CLA are selling high in my area I used to drive a 06 Acura TL A-Spec but Acura is off track with ugly designs and under power engines. Don't get me wrong with Acura it is a good company but they just need to get their shit together lol. The A4 and A5 are outdated with the technology and interior design. Please do a review on the S3!

I've been wondering what tje replacement for my 2015 GTI will be when the time comes, and looking at the MK8 - it won't be one of those ugly things. So, a used A3 seems like the way to go. The same engine anyway.

what about 2016 Golf R

More than a great review!

Can you do a 2015 Honda Civic with the 5 speed manual.

how much does this car cost

Holy crap that’s so awesome I live around that area in Virginia!!!

can you do an a7 review please?

Soo where is that Jaguar F Type you previewed in your instagram? ;)

I'm watching this in 2012 and I love it

Good sound quality!

Does it take premium gas

great review

I'm 6'3". Is there going to be enough leg and head room in this car. Thinking about buying one. Thanks!

You should try and review the 2 series BMW. BMW is the only company that offers a manual in their entry level luxury cars. I would really appreciate your feedback and comparison between the A3 and the 2 series.

Awesome, thank you :)

Are you guys planning on reviewing the 2016 Nissan Maxima? I am looking forward to watching that review.

Hey sofyan. I'm cross-shopping a 2015 a3 and a 2015 a4. Both have nearly identical options and are around the same price within 1.5k. Which would you recommend? Also how are the back seats in the a3 compared to a 2015 GTI? Is it really that much smaller than the GTI?

Do a video of the 2015 toyota camry

Great car. A Bmw 228i or M235i review would be great :)

Having driven both of these cars, there's no comparison to the ilx: the A3 with the 2.0t Quattro simply destroys it. Plus with the reliability of the MQB platform, unless you really just want a Honda, there's no reason to even shop the Acura against the Audi.

Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says "Premium"

Great vid

Does it have LSD?

So how would you compare this to the upcoming IS200t?

Audi A4 or Audi A3?

Looks great

I don't think I'd want to spend 45K on an A3. If I'm going to head in that direction, then I'm already in A4 territory to be honest. To those saying that "cheap" German cars aren't reliable, this sounds a bit more like bias on the part of one or more manufacturers. If you don't like German cars, don't buy them. It's really that simple. I've owned 10 cars over the years. 4 were American (Chevy, Buick, Pontiac and Oldsmobile), 1 Asian (Nissan), and 5 German (3 VWs and 2 Audi's). My current 2006 A4 3.2L Quattro w/Prem Pkg (BOSE, Nav, BiXenon Adaptive HID, SiriusXM) has 111K miles on it. I bought it as a CPO w/20K leased miles for about $13K off of MSRP and it came with the balance of the factory warranty and service maintenance contract. For the 90K+ miles I've put on the car, the only maintenance it has needed has been routine (brakes, tires and some minor muffler repair). I'm very satisfied. The car still runs super smooth. I plan on testing the new 2017 A4 when it arrives next year, though I am in no rush to part with the V6 engine in my current car. :)

Is that someone's personal car? I see the temp tag and all the sprays and microfiber in the trunk. Lol

I'm watching this in early 2020. My dad gave me a choice between an audi a3 or a Volkswagen gti.. I'm definitely choosing the audi a3

Looks like a GLI from the side profiles. If this was just a bit bigger I would check for it but it's too small.

Next do a review on 2015 Mitsubishi lancer

Anyone have issues with it this many years later? Thinking of getting one with 60k miles. 14k? thoughts?

THANKS , GOOD INFO

2016 Audi A3????

I like the look

don't drive with flip-flops bro

looks good

lmao this man was in the oncoming lane

The A3 2.0T is one fine small luxury sedan. However the fact the S3 is only ~$5k more & ~50+hp yet you don't receive any MPG penalty, it makes for a hard sell. On the "green" side, since the TDI is now dead thanks to the EPA, the E-tron is actually the most interesting of the bunch (until the RS3 arrives, but I digress). A PHEV with ~20mile range & ~50mpg+ with the driving dynamics & solidity of an Audi yet after govt. incentives cost LESS than a Chevrolet Volt? That is value!

Please do the Audi A6.

If I'm ever in your area, I'd be happy to let you review my S3!

I recommend getting stage 1 ecu tune. Worlds of a difference and drives so much better

5 year reliability anyone?

I have a 2016 s-line with the sport suspension and 19s on Perelli P-zero. It's awsome! I have owned several GTI'S and the Audi is much better. I have owned 5 Audi's over the last 6 years and have no issues at all. I racked up almost 2000000 miles and had no issues. The key to owning any German car is maintanance, maintanance, maintanance. My only complaint is the lame exhaust note. I plan to do an APR tune and exhaust to fix that issue.

Are the actual headlights (not drls) actually led or hid projector beam??

2016 nissan maxima please!!!

My goal is one day enter and drive one

Review c450 amg

Dam, are they easy to fix?

Today is 10-29-2019 have you had any problems with the A3?

A3/s3 uses haldex based awd

He should review the Audi rs7

The Key is Fine its a classic feel keyless entry sucks. And the exclamation mark is cause the car is yellling at you because you really should keep your hands on the wheel!

But the sport pack and tune it :-)

Guys I need your help please. What car would you recommend for 40k or under that is good looking, fast, new and has 4 doors

2015 A4 premium Audi
