    The 2018 Audi a3 is an amazing car! Just because it's the smallest vehicle in the Audi line-up doesn't mean that it's inferior. The fit, finish and performance is just as excellent as the larger and more expensive Audis. The A3's fuel economy is amazing, it can run off of regular unleaded gasoline and it doesn't have run-flat tires. From a cost-of-ownership perspective alone, the Audi A3 is a great deal. I've been able to achieve 0-60 in about 5.2 seconds with the Audi A3. That's extremely impressive, especially for a car at this price point! #Audi #A3

      You've got great taste! I love this car and it's great that I can fill it up with regular unleaded. The price/comfort/performance/style is all great!

    Hey broth where did you film this? Awesome car! I bought a 2020 Jetta on New Years eve and I love it. My 3rd Jetta. Love Audi too. Keep it up man! This A3 and the new Jetta share the MQB platform... now the same car.

      Let me point out that the variants we are getting in Pakistan are high end (with some limitations like smaller engine/nav, due to our regulations). Some of the features which we do get, and which even this car in the video is missing: both front powered seats, full led headlights.

    • @basirgardezi
      @basirgardezi 6 років тому

      Fayyaz Ahmed yes I hate those regulations. But some features don't depend on regulations which are toned down. I don't want to go into details on a public forum :)

      The GTI is a nice ride! Why do you want to get rid of it? I had MAJOR electronics issues with my 2017 Passat SEL Premium and that's why I switched to the Audi A3. This car is a completely different tier of quality and quality control! #Audi

    What is your feedback gettin in and out of the car? You and I are about the same size and when I was at the dealer it seemed like the front door opening was a little small getting in and out? Please give me your feedback on that. Thanks!

    • @IrixGuy
      @IrixGuy  6 років тому +2

      The Audi A3 looks small from the outside but the ergonomics inside are amazing. I actually prefer the A3 over the larger A4. It’s hard to do while test driving but once you get the steering wheel and seat set just right, it’s easy to get in and out of. Don’t confuse how the A3 wraps around you as not enough room :). I came from the VW Passat which had a lot of extra room but have found the A3 to be a lot more comfortable. That’s heavily linked to some of the best seats that I’ve ever had in a car plus excellent ergonomics. Yes, my knees often hit the steering wheel when I get in and out though LOL

      Mine did. I got the base model Audi A3 Premium with “convenience package.” That package added the Apple CarPlay for mine and that was one of the things that swayed me from this and the Alfa Romeo Guilia.

    Sorry but You aren’t getting 5.2 seconds to 0-60 in a FWD 184 Hp and 222 LB ft of torque A3. My Quattro version doesn’t even achieve that unless I launch control it. Stock is 5.4 on the awd and 6.6 for the 2.0 FWD as per Audi’s specs. Love the little car but I’m outgrowing it. It’s def good for the money, but I personally wouldn’t get the FWD A3 over a Golf.
