You are right. I'm too tall for this world. Thank you, Richard

@@carsguide Lol I love your reviews just by the way!

Its barely big enough for the average person, but then again the average person in this world is quite small. The front is actually surprisingly roomy for a car this small, but the back seat is one notch above a 2 seater. Basically unusable for adults. It just feels like a fairly poor value for the price when the backseat is so cramped. I'm never going to be back there, but I just feel like Im not getting much bang for my buck with a car this size. Test drove it, and it was great, but here in the US Audi's are on the expensive side for what we know is a very nice tarted up VW. The car is very nice, but then you see the price, and you start thinking about all the other cars you could get for the same money or less. I guess what I'm saying is that it would be great if there was just a little more car to this car. Obviously, better reliability would be great, but I'm not going to fault a German car for being a German car. It is what it is.

@@pj8761 Hit the nail on the head. I think for that price one should be considering Korean and Japanese cars these days. Hyundai, Honda, Kia and Toyota are coming up with some really interesting cars at a lower price. I am driving the bigger brother A4 B9 and it is the worst financial decision I have ever made I must say, compared to the VW Passat and Arteon.

Matome Ramphele average is around 6 inches 🤣

I find it interesting that my "fuel guzzling barge" (a pajero sport) gets the same fuel economy around town....

Very, very true. Small cars used to be just that. In the 70's you could park a Civic or Corolla anywhere.

I am 6' 3" and I love my A3. It fits me perfectly. I am an ice hockey goalie in Chicago and I get all my gear in the trunk easily. SUVs suck. They're ugly and do not handle well. When I took my A3 in for annual service at the dealer one time, they said they needed to keep it over a weekend. They gave me a Q5 as a loaner. I was less than happy. I thought they would just give me another A3 to loan. When I asked to get an A3 to loan, the dealer said, "We only have Q5s as loaners, because most people like SUVs." I was horrified. I took the Q5 because I needed a car. It sucked. I felt like I was going to run other cars off the road because it was so clumsy and slow. But I made due. When I returned that terrible car, I made sure to tell the dealer how unhappy I was. I'm sure it made no difference. Most people do seem to like large, awful cars. I hope they make at least an A4 as an option for a loaner in the future.

@@club1fan552 Sad thing is, if you want a decent small car these days, you have to go Audi or Lexus.

I'm not sure who you're complaining about, he's just explaining what you're going to get

will you recommend for first time buyer? is the back seats practical for daily run?

Yes. Not the roomiest backseat but practical enough for day to day if you don't have big passengers. @@keketsogift1750

Awwww.... thank you. What other cars would you like to see us review? Cheers Richard

@@carsguide Whatever you review, not by other reviewers. Most reviewers regardless of countries are ,sorry, but boring... pretty much same type of toasts; especially the German guys doing 50 mins+ reviews.. too much effort to get info. But you are like Kimchi fried rice; very different and fun. :) Mate, I think you beat Matt Watson of Carwow. I was only watching him because he was sorta entertaining, only until I found you :) Keep it up, I will be watching you.

Dee Aris yes it is the 2019 mosel

Arif Ramzan UK looking at late 2019 for the hatch and 2020 for the saloon...RS3 thereafter

I know, I'm a bit out of breath aren't I? It was about 40 degrees that day and a shoot can get quite physical... maybe I need a stunt double? Any takers? Thanks Richard

Oh god the Sportback.. it's so awkward looking. Audi could have created a Golf-ish looking hatch which would have been pretty, but nope. Thank you Richard

Ha! The light was best in that corner, also it was getting busy and we didn't want other cars in the background. Cheers Richard

@@carsguide All good!

Looks cheap

I'm 6'3" and love my A3.

European cars do tend to slowly evolve from a design perspective - just look at the Porsche 911. I think the Korean carmakers are keen to grab our attention with new cutting edge designs and features as they set out to establish themselves further. Cheers Richard

Same story for me too at 179cm

You mean Edward Norton!

Agreed. And that RS3 will be worth the wait. Cheers Richard

A van is still better, nobody needs an suv

HSV Commodore ‘nobody needs an SUV’? Really? Not all places you would like to get to are serviced by smooth dry tarmac buddy, and I cannot think of a single van that is enjoyable to drive even when conditions are good. A van is an appliance, not a vehicle.

R Soul you only Need an suv if you Go offroading and i think 99.9% of People never do that. A wagon Ort van is a much better choice (i do understand that you don't want a van tho)

Spot on mate. We're shooting the Audi Q5 review next week and I'll do the same thing with the car seat. I reckon it'll be much less of a pain in the back. Cheers Richard

At 9:40 it shows why SUVs should go away. Handling, parking, and fuel. Everyday in rush hour I'm so happy I drive a small car and can maneuver into tight spots no SUV dare try

Kian Boon Chua I drive the car and it's never been above 8l per 100km

TING TING TING I drive this car. I do 7.3/100km.

I drive the 1.4 tsi with 5.6/100 km

I think lost cars have reliability problems, I’ve had a new 2015 Mini Cooper S for 4 years and it had a ton of problems, last Monday I got my new a3 i hope a have better luck this time

@@davidc.7838 Get a Lexus, problem solves

beybladeking Lexus are not available in Mexico, also I already got the a3

Agree, but it doesn't Look as dated as bmw's, because only some Audi Models look dated, but every bmw looks like a 10 year old car (inside and out)

I think the looks have held up well, but they have hardly changed yes... cheers Richard

I know! It was hot and I had a cold... and yeah ok excuses excuses...cheers Richard

humanity 9 AHAHAHAHA

I think the next A3 will be muuuuuuuuuuch better in every way - hopefully Audi will see the light in terms of the warranty, too. Cheers Richard

Speak in custom units. What's that in inches?

... and most likely more reliable..

Greg Burville well yep, the Audi costs twice as more too and is half as good as a Kia. No idea why anyone would consider the Audi

The new Cerato Sedan is pretty good looking... and yes, better value. Cheers Richard

Too boring
