Very cheaply made car. Typical VAG from the last 10 years. Seats made from plastic bottles and artificial leather. Cheap. Fake exhausts. Cheap. Cheap plastics. Cheap touch screens. Nice headlights though. Audi should specialise in making LED lights instead of cars.
@@eleonik76 it's obvious you have no idea what you are talking about
you all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.

haha the sirens for
Autogefühl fake exaust police always make me laugh. So good review and a good car.
haha same here that shit was hilarious. I hope Thomas doesn't mind but I'm gonna steal that!
=)
i am always obssessed with audi's interior
A special thank's to the editors and operators. You guys know how to make beautiful camera shots! It's a real pleasure to watch your video's! Especially when you choose these great landscapes.
Thanks!!
Almost as you are reading my mind, I was looking at this car as alternative to A4 when my contract on my current car ends, cheers for the review!!
Best looking small sedan... 😎 And of course nice review, as always... 👍🏼
I’m underwhelmed by the new styling. I wish Audi pushed the envelope more with the exterior of the A3. The plastic cladding around the front fascia looks tacky although in the S line model it’s a little better, but in all honesty, I’m disappointed in the look.
S line is a "must have", and will cost you a few bucks. So are electric folding mirrors.
Let's face it, the answer to anybody asking about an A3 is buy the RS3. ;) Or RSQ3. Thanks for the review Thomas!
I am not a fan of this interior, or any current generation Audi's interior. I love the simplistic approach from the previous model, I think it will age much better than the newer models with gloss black and screens everywhere
New Audi interior is horrible... driving my A1 until the end. next car will be Mercedes for sure.
@@irgendwasmitxy I'm afraid Merc is headed in the same direction; have you seen the new S Class interior? 😬 My next ride will likely be a Volvo or Genesis for the interior alone
2013 a3 8v quattro 290k km, still.rocks. Prefer to fix it from time to time, than through money on new ones.
Been looking forward to this for weeks (!!). It will convince me to choose it - or - revert to outgoing one! Danke Schon Thomas.
Great job as always Thomas. Love the interior.
Fahre aktuell eine A3 Limousine als Leihwagen, da mein A4 Avant aufgrund eines Unfallschadens in der Werkstatt ist. Fahre in der Limousine als 35 TFSI mit S-Tronic und bin fasziniert, wie sparsam das Auto zu bewegen ist und finde den Mild-Hybrid interessant ist ein top Auto.
Can't wait for it to get to the USA. Love the work Audi has put into the new A3 Limousine.
Awesome and very detailed reviews also always, never a dull moment watching a Autogefuhl review.
Highly appreciated 🙏 please recommend our channel!
Will surely do@@autogefuehl
👍👍👍
Morning Thomas, looking forward to this 🙃
Good Morning =)
Recently traded my 2018 S3 for a 2020 A4 Allroad and im in love, don’t miss the S3 at all.
Yay👍🏻The long awaited 2020/21 A3 is here and it does look absolutely superb👍🏻 I cannot wait to see what the S3 and RS3 look like in the metal. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I honestly enjoy ur review so so much more than carwow and no cringe jokes 😂 thank you
🙏👌😁
The best review out there. Any word on the next S3?
Hope to drive it in September
Great review again and thanks for showing those beautiful routes. I hope i will be driving my new A3 sedan edition one there within a couple of weeks. Keep it up!
Cheers and good luck 🍀
Excellent indepth analysis. Thanks for the upload.. That is a a great auto.
👌
Have a chance to have an extended test drive of a MY23 A3 40 TFSI quattro S-line since my own older A3 is service. In North America we don't get the 35 TFSI variants and all of them use a EA888 2.0 TFSI engine paired with a 48V MHEV similar to the 1.5 TFSI models. The car has been excellent - driving dynamics is a good blend of daily comfort & sporty predictable handling, fuel economy is on par with economy sedans like Corolla or Civic but with more shove, and the 48V MHEV start stop is one of the best with the exception of full hybrid cars. I also find the new MMI touch to be very easy to use, and my Samsung Galaxy S23 syncs wireless Android Auto with no issues.
Definitely a car I might be considering once my own A3 comes time to trade up.
why in the compact segment you can never find a 180/190 Hp petrol car you must jump to a S3 version 300 hp
Mazda 3 has a 180bhp skyactiv x engine. For the bmw, mercedes and audi, my guess would be they were mainly sold as company cars (at least that's the case in Belgium) and the 180+hp would cost too much/ emit too much CO² and if you weren't buying it as a company car, you can chip tune the engine up to 190bhp for 200 euro so the extra 2 grand would have been a waste.
to force people to buy a more expensive car
Honda Civic and Ford Focus offer 180-190 hp engines
A class and CLA come with 180hp petrol engines
Kia ceed gt, 1.6 petrol 200 HP, around 22k euro
Ummm i just bought a 200hp petrol A1?
I love the "Thomas's Driving Lounge"..lol
You rock Thomas!
you know that you 're watching the most professional, detailed and 'german' car reviewing channel on YT, when the reviewer insists on the buttons' clicking sounds (and he does well, as things like that still separate Audi from competition). Best Audi design since years, the car has perfect proportions, better than A3 Sportback, and makes A4 to look rather irrelevant too. Im not sure about the interior materials, they look like a step-back for Audi, and especially in this price range. Interior design is super modern, except those lines that make the air-vents look like they are stuck, or that they will drop off after 6 months. The 'normal' grey car looks way better. In my opinion, the Mercedes CLA looks sportier/more agile, this looks more luxurious, BMW 2 series gran coupe looks like a 90s Mitsubishi, especially its rear end.
Appreciated and welcome 🙏
Love the interior! They definitely took design language from Lamborghini, especially with the air vents.
Very good review as usual T...thank you!
Good lord, taking ‘Chris Bangle’ side creases to the next level
Oh this is the next genius marketing step to rip consumers off: "the S-line interior and S-line EXTERIOR packages...". Which surly can be bought as two separate options. Oh and don't forget about the motor. Where were the times when S, M or AMG stood for sportiness and added everything, motor, exterior and interior. Now they are making cars as basic and as ugly looking as possbile to push you to buy a 'exterior or/and interior packages'. We didn't even started talking about other options like: security features, panoramic roof, trims, electronic gadgets etc. I'm absolutely against buying interior/exterior visual packages without actualy having a real sport motor. Nowadays S,M and AMG stand for nothing... Wait, actually it stands for: "I had money to buy plastics, but unfortunately I didn't have enough for the motor"!
Spot on mate! Fukcing marketing.
you okay . . . you want some pepper?
@@anormalguytrading2052 I don't get the point to your reaction. If you can formulate better, then go ahead. Nothing to be salty about here, just wanted to highlight the reality of poor management strategy affecting our budget.
What do you mean they make the normal model uglier, i can barely tell a difference between sline and normal
Between these two colors, I prefer the Turbo Blue model. It sort of reminds me of Toyota's Voodoo blue...
Thanks Thomas, enjoy your review. Audi has the best interior design. I would prefer the Sportback, which I feel is sportier than the sedan sibling.
20:38 thanks for German language lesson! Good climate unit. On the driving part, much more limited field-of-view from your 'new' forward-looking camera. Thanks for the entertaining Review Thomas, best wishes.
👌🙏
@@autogefuehl Yes, uniquely, we normally get a great view of the road as it shows us how the car drives, and we feel we are in the car with you on your test drive - please go back to your wide angle camera, and more footage of the front camera. We love your videos, Thomas.
Beautiful little limousine, great interior the screen is in the right place, thank You Thomas, enjoyed watching, and that Thomas blue color is awesome!
Hey Thomas, thanks for the great work. Will you be getting to test the Audi A3 40 TFSI AWD? What's your take on Audi still providing the 1.4 (150bhp) instead of the 1.5 in many markets? Would you suggest a buyer avoid that engine?
1.5 defo better
Not liking those vents either side of the cockpit
Im rlly not a fan of the loud music transitions it's disturbing and out of no where. But definitely a great review as always.
A comparison battle of the 3 cars together A class vs A3 vs 1Series could be a fantastic video imo. Keep it up Thomas !
Thanks 🙏
The led lights reminds me of the 90s when people shaved lines in their eyebrows.
Can’t wait to see the s3
Excellent review of a great car.
I'd get the 2020 CLA over this to be honest.
Yea mee too but I like the new a 3 but the CLA just looks slightly better
Gotta love the obnoxiously loud Audi turn signals
Yet another awesome review. The visual comparison with S-Line was great. I like a lot the animated front turn signals and angular design of the front radar that is under the license plate. What comes to the cockpit I would not change the cabin of my new 2020 Leon FR to this design. I think Audi has gained some functionality with some more traditional choiches such as a separate stick adjustment for automatic speed control (Leon has this integrated to steering wheel). The cockpit of A3 seems in some parts such as the surroundigs of dsg gear selector look a little dated. Also the A3 does not have the new wide LED stripe in the back such as eg E-tron has. It is however nice that they have kept the sedan version in their lineup. Also the light blue color of the S-line looks fab. There are some extratechnical nice details in this video: the moving drone or helicopter 😉 video shots from the countryside including the river scene with canoists and I also notice an another pair of great looking sport shoes with some cool orange details.👟
👍😎
Great video! As Always! THOMAS! I love your shoes what Nike shoes are they?
love you mic man. nice review
really good review, very thorough!
Thanks Thomas! Nice Review! New Audi S3 and RS3 this My Dream! AUDI - the BEST!)))
is gearbox of A3 sedan wet clutch? Do you think the gearbox is durable ?
For such a small car the nose is way too long ! 1:58
It's basically as big as the one from the A4 and A6 now but on a much shorter wheelbase.
Otherwise it is probably a very nice car with a sleek interior design and good driving comfort.
But the huge frontal overhang looks just totally out of proportion to me ...
AUDI driving experience! Greetings from Neuburg :)
Nice car whit again a very informative review thanks
+1. .. "Welcome to Thomas's Driving Lounge". .. Too funny. .. My prediction is the 2021 A3 sedan & S3 sedan will sell nicely in N. America. .. Let's wait and see what build specification Audi USA calls for. .. Price vs content can make or break a model's redesign. .. Audi N. America, give the A3/S3 sedan a chance - add a dash of content. .. The 2021 A3 is an attractive sedan. .. Cheers
Adaptive suspension Audi calls magnetic ride (dcc - VW calls is) - however as much as the effect of what they do is similar magnetic ride and dcc have some technical differences.
The rest of the door 10:55 looks like plastic. There was an article written about the Mazda 3. Audi, Mercedes and BMW (maybe less BMW) all now have their entry level cars with hard plastics in many places. They no longer have materials and quality that's any better than a mainstream brand like Peugeot 308 and especially a Mazda 3. They said there's no reason to buy a CLA (they used the CLA in their article) over a mainstream brand car like the Mazda 3. They said the Mazda 3 even drives better in many instances. It is starting to look like the entry level offerings from the premium car makers make less and less sense every day because they're not any better in terms of quality and even the technical aspects ride engines, ride and handling. They need to wake up now. Any sort of hard plastic, even in your base model, is unacceptable now since now even some mainstream brands have better interior quality and materials. They need to do more. People won't buy just because of the badge for much longer. Things are changing. It pains me to say but it is true.
Here's the article:
www.motorbiscuit.com/the-2020-mazda3-might-be-just-as-luxurious-as-the-mercedes-cla/
At least Audi used proper window switches in their entry models.
The German cars do however win on the tech front where they have way better infotainment screens, functions and generally technology. A reverse camera on a Peugeot or Mazda for example are horrible. Maybe that's what they're going for. But it shouldn't be at the cost of everything else. You should be paying more for a reason, both tech and quality.
Who’s still here in 2020?
Joking aside, I do like the engine number being on the back now. Wish they’d done that sooner as “07K 100 032 J” would have looked good on the back of mine. 😉
How does this compare dynamically with the mazda 3 sedan?
A comparo would be nice.

Great review Thomas and team, yet again. And always fun when the fake exhaust police roll up 📢🚓🚔
😁
“In full screen, full HD and full length”
Really beautiful! Audi has definitely overtaken BMW in terms of design. Only thing I dislike is the air vents
But they are working really fine, we get our car in November I hope. The feeling to drive this car is so great, Yeah
But it's very helpful to have some extras included... and there are a lot of them... but it drives the price quickly higher... and... this car is working as a mildhybrid, really nice for sure.
I like the splicing with stock A3 footage filmed for something else 😂
What was consumption?
Voluminous is such a good word 😁👍 When talking to VAG please keep nagging them to implement driver display turn directions when using Apple CarPlay navigation . If Renault can do it in the Clio/Zoe ....😁 It has been there since iOS9 !
Which is better, Audi A3 sedan or BMW 2 series gran coupe driving dynamics and quality wise?
I don't know about the car, but the view and the houses are gorgeous..why can't all places adopt simple rules and be clean like that..
I've heard the first edition model has had major issues with the electric seats and the door handles. Not good for such a so called premium.
All new Vag models looks really bad in my opinion. I would always choose old A3, Octavia, Golf or Leon. Only good thing is price drop for old models.
this with octavia”s opening boot, woud be the best
Thomas, I’m really torn between the A3 35tfsi and flexing to the A4 40tfsi, both in S trim, but the price difference is consistent. Actual car is a Skoda Octavia 3fl with the 1.4tsi 150hp. Not sure if I can actually justify the price though.... what would you pick!? I drive only 5000km per year... so I probably already spent the most I can justify for the Octavia
Hope he will answer my friend. Both are Awesome in my opinion!
@@Nirsterkur thanks for the reply. Dunno’ if he’ll actually see my comment, but it would be great :)
I like the interiors of the previous gen A3 better
Where was this beautiful landscape/location? It's awesome!
Bavaria
I am not a fan of the new front end on these new Audi A3's. Maybe they will grow on me?
I just bought a new 2024 model (pre-facelift) A3 in Manhatten Grey and love it. I went for the 1 litre which offers even better fuel consumption whilst not feeling underpowered - best decision I could have made. Not everyone needs the 1.5 litre.
cool enjoy!
It’s also the sedan.
hat es die farbe daytona grau? finde es manchmal schwer festzustellen...
I like red A3 S-line🔥🔥🔥❤️
Thank you for useful reviewing. I didn’t catch the colour of this model. Could you share the colour code one again?
I have been waiting for this video as I am choosing between this and the relatively new A250. I like the tech Mercedes brings to the table but I’m not sure if the styling is better than Audi’s... well time to watch and learn!
I have the A class Amg line with 19in rims in Denim blue.
Mercedes is much better looking car inside and outside.
Merc is much better styling
I actually prefer both the exterior and interior of my Mk 3 face-lift A3 Saloon. Saying that, I know in around 3 years time I will be driving a Mk 4.
Hi Thomas, Great presentation, as usual! Would you please tell us the make and model of the nice timepiece that you are wearing in this video?

Love the channel and content! Quick question was the boot pet of the video cut out? Mine went from rear seat to driving 🤷🏽♂️
Hi Thomas, like ever ,your reviews are technologically speaking supercompletes and entertaining of to hear, but with respect to interior and especially to board ,I found to much to much radical this design, very much forced to encage all pieces , especially the air intakes , is regrettable. I prefer the minimalism of yesteryear, or by last, make a copy of yours olders brothers in yours interiors.
Thank you, salutes.
Cheers!
I think audi have gotten obscenely expensive. You can buy a class higher (engine or trim) mercedes for the same price. Do you guys agree?
Biggest diff. between hatchback and sedan is that your rear window on the hatchback is dirty all the time, and on the sedan its just the trunk so you wont see it while driving the car..
Of course it may grow on me but for now the 'video game/tablet screen' feel to the dash is not want I am looking for in such a car. I would prefer a higher cluster of analog gauges. The plastic invasion is spreading from the engine bay into the cars interior as well. Now the seats are several forms of plastic. Ugh.
Good video Thomas. You look at cars with a very similar eye that I do. Prost!
How does it compare with the Octavia?
11:20 No adjustable lumbar support?
Any idea how much power the new e-tron hatch’s engine will make for the US market?
Everything about it is so over-engineered. Unnecessarily so. Can't believe i'm saying this but i think Mercedes's new interior is significantly better/cleaner.
Both are Great
Hello and thank you for the wonderful review. Do you know how much does the sunroof restricts headroom? I am 1.98 cms, always driving a little bit lying down (my style) and I am looking into a sports back version.
Any help would be great!
Sadly no comparison to the older model as announced at the beginning of the video. Therefore, I ask the question here. Is it worth it to go for the old model?
I said what has changed
happy that this doesn't have the ipad screen stuck on the dash
When is the S3 sedan coming?
Soon
Thomas, when you said 5-6l were you talking about the diesel or the TFSI?
Love that blue colour and the interior is amazing! I like the vents, kind of remind me of what Renault did with the 25 where the vents were very high and point directly at the driver's hands, which I always assumed would work great on a hot day.
I know the car is good on a mountain road but I really want to know how boring it will be on the autobahn, on a Friday, after work... Is it boring enough that I feel absolutely relaxed and comfortable driving 360km after a long week but not boring enough as to make me asleep at the wheel?
I don't mind the torsion beam. It works great, it is lighter and it gives you more space for the trunk. What I really dislike is how VW implemented it: with the car sharing the design of the underpinnings for both suspension which means that with a torsion beam suspension vw gets a better profit margin, you get a lighter car with slightly worst suspension and handling and you don't get the biggest advantage that is the extra space in the trunk.... That is bad.
At 41:00 you can see what all these cheap glossy plastics can do in terms of reflections. Very disturbish while driving...
That's why I don't like VAG cars anymore: all based on the same platform and you are buying the cosmetic difference. What's the point of this car, when you can buy the same Skoda for much less money?? My next car will be a Mercedes or BMW.
You do get more style, quality and technology for the extra money though
@@podge5555 Not really in this case. This is so Volkswagen like (Jetta or Passat). Especially the interior, look at the big door handle all plastic leaves fingerprints and the cup holder central part all cheap plastic as well. And yes I drive a VW Jetta 2019 myself, therefore I noticed those things right away. Not that I dislike it, but just adding a little more soft touches and chrome accents to the interior doesn't justify the extra money. Jetta has a bigger trunk, digital display as well, colored interior ambient lighting. This is just screams, I was able to afford the lowest Audi possible just to have one. I think the Audi A4 is the way to go, it's more luxuries.
They only share platforms and some technology but not design its totally different
@@podge5555 The price difference does not justify the technology difference, if Czech production quality is better than German.
flyn xyn : yes this is true... I think if you want to see a big difference in quality in style you need to compare an Audi to say a Seat or Skoda. Choosing between a VW, Skoda and Seat is all down to badge snobbery because they’re at the same level in terms of technology and quality
Same price as a Tesla Model 3 LR ... i am torn :( I really like the features on the A3 that i cannot get with a Tesla)
Welches Auto besitzt du Thomas?
Hi Thomas.... just how many pairs of Noahs do you have, or do they sponsor you??
They supplied me some and i link to them caus i wanna support animal alternatives:)
Correct me if I’m wrong but did he say the car can travel 40mpg?!
