Jonathon Chandnoit any issues with the car ?

Yo I want one of these

Same. Got my 2016 with 19k miles and drives like a dream!

Thanks to the 2020’s Shit markets, it’s now 7ish years later in 2022 and i’m looking to buy one with 54k miles for 18k lol.

@@lukewilson2974 it’s honestly sad, I’d say wait though, market should come down by the end of the year or first quarter 2023 so if you can wait then I would. Self control can get you a 30k miles or lower for the same price

Looking into buying this car too. Need these answers

or save money and just get the $800 Sport package that will give you the wheel with the paddle shifters, sportier seats, and -15mm lowered suspension so you feel all those hard, teeth grinding bumps of the road. Sporty. :)

This one is shot in Toronto

It's a Canadian channel with Canadian cars, but the prices and info are all for the American market... makes no sense. Like the time they showed a Canadian VW GTI Wolfsburg model (which is better equipped and more expensive than the American Wolfsburg edition since USA also gets Drivers Edition), and they gave the price as an American Wolfsburg. Just sloppy and deceiving.

In thailand an a3 costs nearly $80000.........

Because in the US there is a larger market for these cars therefor they will be willing to lower the price since they will sell a higher value For example I can sell 10 apples in the UK at $10 and target people who can afford the $10 In the US if there are 50 people who can afford a $7 apple then I'd rather drop the price on the apple so I can sell more of it

you will be in the limit in the drivers seat, at the back seat no way

+Оффроуд разходки около София Agreed.

Not to mention the CLA has absolutely no back seat space. And everything is an option. You pretty much just get a car with the Mercedes emblem stuck on it

You are comparing an MB with rebadged Golf. Are you ware of that?

I am "aware" that I am comparing a much more luxurious and better performing vehicle. They Audi is just the superior one in this segment, only the new 2 Series can compare to this.

Fussinated This rebadged VW comment is played out. Completely different car. VW owns Lambo and Bentley. Are you going to say those are rebadged Vdubs? Hahaha

Allen Mihai "This rebadged VW comment is played out" It is a fact. "Completely different car" You are completely an idiot. "VW owns Lambo and Bentley. Are you going to say those are rebadged Vdubs? Hahaha" Idiot, are those cars share the same platform with VW's? Fucking European ass fuck when it comes to Lexus LFA you don't even hesitate to call it a Toyota. Double standarded lowlife.

AudiUSA has the TDI option up on their build configuration right now.

I think the hatchback A3 looks awkward. It looks like a Chevy spark, its tiny. At least the Sportback A3 looks a little better, but that regular hatchback look weak. If I were to shop for a 5 door car, it wouldn't be a Sportback A3, it would be the new Q3 SUV. Now that is a car you hatchback lovers should be striving for.

Go buy a Golf , It is the same car.

Yeah, for that price you could have the upcoming Golf R for the same price.

Went to go look for one to consider buying and was disappointed that they axed it. Didn't understand why they couldn't sell both.

They get a global audience anyway. They are a youtube channel of an American website. I am pretty sure they do not care about a global audience.

Oumar DiAlLo You so missed the point...many American car reviews often mention if there are different models available in Europe. These guys make it sound that Audi stopped doing A3 hatchback altogether, but the truth is that it's just not marketed in America any more.

Samuli Pentti No you don't get it. It's not important whether they mention other models in other countries or not to the review. Just because some reviewers do it doesn't mean it is a standard. Some Americans are looking for a review on this one car and don't want to here about models in other countries that they won't buy. This isn't really a big deal anyway, but just saying, if someone wants to hear about European marketed cars they should just watch a British or English speaking European review.

Samuli Pentti I don't know what you are saying because the hatchback and e-tron models are coming to America in 2015

It is a rebadged Golf so what's the point to pay 45K for a fancy piece of crap? 4, or 5 doors all is there in the VW junk line.

Why of course, otherwise, why would they rebadge a Golf as Audi and sell it?

Just bought 2 of them for my children, best investment you can make brother!

@@PetuhGriffinis it reliable? How much is the maintenance cost?

@Wozzzzz I bought them for their work so it's strictly paid from their pockets bit as far as I'm aware oil changes are about $130, battery replacement is about $200 because the car runs on some type of special battery I have mo clue, transmission service is $500-1000, and the service cost for the miles ran is usually depending but anything from 30,000 and up starts at $300 and as the miles go up the price also increases

@@PetuhGriffin appreciate the info 🙏

@Wozzzzz I also would like for you to keep in mind that the cost varies in rhe parts of the world you're in, so you can contact a local dealership or mechanics to find out more about it.

I think the Premium Plus is the best of both worlds, its not over priced like the Prestige and its not lacking in features like the base Premium.

They are all rebadged VW Golf. Prestige comes by covering the VW badges.

Fussinated put down the crack pipe.

vh9network Never. I listened enough BS from people bad mouthing Acura's and Lexus' saying that they are rebadged Honda's and Toyota's. So for the sake of speaking out the truth, I must say that. Also, I can suggest where you should stick that crack pipe, as well, if you are interested.

4 series? Really? Totally different classes.

mountainhobo There's a "Go Home" shortcut in the navigation tab of the instrument cluster menu system that'll immediately set the nav system to navigate you home.

Antenox Thanks, that makes a lot more sense than scribbling it. :)

Golf R better looking than a S3/A3 sedan. Get out of town. The ugly hatch back looks about as cute as the Chevy Spark. What's with these comparisons of late. Its like you guys need glasses if you think hatchbacks look sexy.

Thanks for your opinion mine is the best looking Audis are hatchbacks: S7, RS7 and R8.

Joel D oh what happened to all the praise to the Golf R. I'll give you the S7/RS7 which the A3/S3 takes design cues from, but the R8 looks ugly.

It looks better than the A3. Which is just plain boring as a sedan. Audis win on their interior. Plus the S3 is slower than the R is louder, without being showy. To me.

***** the base for an a3 is $29,000. The base for an s3 is $49,000. That's more than that just a few thousand. It better be a whole lot more car cause $20k is literally another car

Dan R The base S3 is $41,000. _Maxed out_ the S3 is $49,000.

***** This base model does not suck it has alot of standard options that are considered pricy options on other cars. And the whole point of this car and similar competing model the Merc CLA is to provide an entry level luxury car in the 30k range. Now if we were talking about the base Merc CLA that one does suck at 30k. You get a panoramic moonroof, full led tails, HID's, 10 speaker radio, pop up dash screen and real leather on the base A3. That is NOT a sucky base model. That is actually alot of bang for the buck. Now on the Merc CLA you have to spend about another $8000 in options, $38,000 total, to get what's in a $30,000 base A3.

lex1ne and then you're $38,000 in on quite possibly the ugliest german car available.

Dan R Not quite. The SLK is worse. And god forbid you sink money into a GLE.

The brand brings it up a couple of thousand

Jay Bird yeah, right? Lol I want the cla which is lacking in comparison, but damn that star on the grill is real nice looking.
