Raiti's Rides : These are the little things that put smile on our face. But it’s even more interesting how you put it without that humorous reaction on your face and quickly move on to the next subject. How do you do that? Sometime l miss the pun and would realize later what you said was a humor.
@@RaitisRides hi sir ,I'm about to finally come to a decision for my father and we have decided on a 2020 Q3 40 tfsi Quattro in silver (I'm writing this currently in march-2020, in case people read this in the future) at the moment Audi dealers in Australia are having an End of financial year sale currently in Aus ( our financial fiscal year is basically from July of one year to June of the next calender year). Also we don't have the model 45 tfsi in Aus yet,surprisingly as Aus is considered a premium options market for luxury cars and bigger engines are pretty common here as like the U.S. AND one last question- what's the difference between 2019 m.y., and 2020 m.y.? Cheers friend.
Langolier : Yep, thats right. Is the reason why I would never invest my money in such a rogue company regardless of them finally improving their mistakes. Some mistakes are unpardonable. I’m gonna zonk the company 😂😂😂
New subscriber to your house channel , all I can say is kudo's to your momentum for these videos, keep the content coming.😁👍 As for the Audi It's a nice little crossover. The grill makes it look like a baby q8. Also glad to see an Audi interior that isn't splattered with just piano black all around , wish luxury automakers would learn piano black does not equate to luxury. ☹️
Speaking of fingerprint, touch to start fingerprint recognition is coming in the future. You won't even need a key, and if the touch to start doesn't recognize your fingerprint it won't start.
@ILogic 1 _ If it was Acura that put those faux exhaust vents you couldn't find enough words to discredit the Acura. Oh! Wait. Actually it already happened Acura hid the exhaust pipes of their cars and people like you had their mocking day on those reviews. Acura never used fake exhaust openings either.
Good morning Joe another great day and review. U know what I'm sorry Joe I'm gonna have to " ZONK " this Audi Q3 in all. Audi could've done much better on this in general. I know u can go up the trim level but uhh?😢😢🤧. Would love to see a 2019 Audi SQ5 1 day. Thanks Joe.
@Bigdog Bulldog _ "I like the direction Audi is going" Awesome, then you must love Acura's because Audi is following Acura in many ways. Acura did not use fake exhaust pipes though. they just hid the pipes. Soon Audi will do the same.
Raiti's Rides please ZONK that Y muffler that shows underneath vehicles that with dual exhaust if the camera man move back behind the vehicle and then lower the camera you will see in some vehicles it shows really bad hanging down.. to the point that make some of them really ugly from behind.. you may get them blind quality control to pay attention !!! :-D grate review as usual thank you
Dash and door layout seem very Tiguan. The outside is very LINCOLN MKC. I like it. I like the MKC too. For the money seems like a fully loaded Tiguan is the better value. I have to say, though, I LOVE the color of the interior.
All the Volkswagens except for the golf have cooled seats, I don’t get why they don’t have it for an option on this car, I’m sure people would happily pay $500 more for them 🙃
White Knight they do that because of the carbon buildup that will accumulate and look bad on the actually tips. I agree just hide the tailpipes. But this is why they do it. It’s a result of direct injection.

Great review. Stationed overseas and having a 2021 shipped from Germany to Southern Italy. I can't wait to get behind the wheel. Peugeot, Renault...meh.

For over $40K Ventilated seats should be standard!! And they are NOT even an "Option"... NO NO NO! Such a shame. Total deal breaker!! (but that B&O sound system I am sure is pure magic when added....) ** And if YOU need to adjust the seat to see over the dash... the rest of us are out of luck!!
@@brianusa394 I think the Outback looks cool. It is definitely a unique taste and not for everyone. Basically it's just a lifted up wagon. I like wagons.
LOL! Fake exhausts Another Acura thing again. when Acura started to hide the exhaust vents people were desperately trying to discredit and mock Acura for doing that. Now Audi does that do you read anything against it even with the Faux exhaust vent? Of course not LOL! Instead they don't like you for bringing that out and they mock you with your zonk! thing ... someone must be paying them LOL!
Three years later, still a relevant and HELPFUL review. Thanks Raiti's!!!!
Best Q3 review i've seen on UA-cam. Thank you for that!
Thanks for the review. I am falling in love with the Audi Q3. very nice .
Love the way you analyze car design. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks Jose that really means a lot!
Bro, by far you've done one of the best reviews on this model.

Thank you Joe for the ride along in this Audi .....Nice car..
Thanks Kenny for letting me take you for the ride. Audi did a great job updating this car.
I just discovered your videos, they're outstanding. One thing, can you please review the 2020 Audi Q5.

Great ride! I want one!
Once again awesome job! Like the update to the Q3.
That is so awesome of you to say Dale and I totally agree with you!
"Love it or Zonk it" - put that on a T-shirt, Raiti
Best comment!!!
one of the best reviewers on youtube. Thanks man.
Great review 👍with a bit of Audi history thrown in there aswell. Audi should have spent some of that TFT money on ventilated seats.
Thanks for saying that and I totally agree with you!
Enjoyable review as always Joe. No ventilated seats is/was the deal breaker for me, living in southern Arizona.
Thank you Richard for letting me share it with you! I totally agree with you about the ventilated seats.
Thought you were kidding at first sir!!!

Thanks for joining the Raiti's Rides family! I really appreciate your support and input!
My favorite Audi SUV! Amazing video Joe.
My opinion...
When you’re at $40K
Ventilate seats and memory seats should be standard..
Totally agree
Erick_YPR a lot of its competitors don’t offer it until you pay a lot so yeah
AGREED!
I second that!
Okay I will!
Great car. Own the 2021 model. Only negative for me is how much dust the screen attracts and the finger prints
Thanks for that ownership input!
StraightPipes, Redline, Raiti's Rides, and of course Doug.
The net pockets is awesome for me
Door mirrors do not fold automatically when car is locked?
Speaking of fingerprint, touch to start fingerprint recognition is coming in the future. You won't even need a key, and if the touch to start doesn't recognize your fingerprint it won't start.
You are so very right!
Bought one. Really happy. Wanted an XT4 but no deal meant I went next door and picked this up
Btw those rims and tires make for a great ride. Even on potholes forrest roads
Good review dude. Cheers!
Thanks for saying that! It really means a lot!
Awesome job; thanks for showing us the Q3. Now what about the 2019 A3 prestige. Thanks
Thanks for saying that Andrew! I will get that together!
What package is this? Premium or Sport Premium. I’m looking for a Q3 2018 or 2019 and I’m trying to compare the year and the package.
Great review! Is it fair to say that this is a raised, dressed-up GTI? It has the same engine.
So far I love the new Audi cars
ILogic 1 same here! I just you could get a manual in some of their models.
@ILogic 1

Thank God I will buy one for myself
Ok so the question is I need to buy a suv so which would you buy Raiti the Audi q3, VW atlas r line, Volvo xc40, Volvo xc60, RDX, Alfa Stelvio Ti ?
What did you settle for?
What size are the wheels. Can weeks be changed out for 20".
Love the videos bro. So I am looking for a nice suv under 50k. What is my best choice. Something not expensive to keep up with.
Hey man. Just curious if and what you found.
Did you find?
Get a cx5 signature and pocket the change 👍🏻.
I totally agree with you Tommy!
Hey, can you review the A5 and S5? Or even the A4/S4?
I will get that together for you!
@@RaitisRides The A4/A5 are great vehicles, I drive an A5 Sportback.
Good morning Joe another great day and review. U know what I'm sorry Joe I'm gonna have to " ZONK " this Audi Q3 in all. Audi could've done much better on this in general. I know u can go up the trim level but uhh?😢😢🤧. Would love to see a 2019 Audi SQ5 1 day. Thanks Joe.

Awesome, then you must love Acura's because Audi is following Acura in many ways. Acura did not use fake exhaust pipes though. they just hid the pipes. Soon Audi will do the same.
Ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel is need in all Audi's.
Not true my 2019 a5 didn’t have heated steering wheel
Gonna have to give Joe a major zonked for hubba bubba gum reference
Why? Do you not like that gum?
@@RaitisRides it loses flavor fast unlike Raiti's Rides ! Keep kickin that ass Joe ... we love what you are doing !!
How is the Q3 vs the 2020 Ford Escape?
This car looks similar to the 2014 outlander sport but great review !
Thanks George for the compliment!
Was hoping he would do this one !
I am glad that I could bring it to you!
Great job Audi; but no memory or ventilated seats?
They dropped the ball on that one.
Raiti's Rides please ZONK that Y muffler that shows underneath vehicles that with dual exhaust if the camera man move back behind the vehicle and then lower the camera you will see in some vehicles it shows really bad hanging down.. to the point that make some of them really ugly from behind.. you may get them blind quality control to pay attention !!! :-D grate review as usual thank you

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Jerome.
How about banana flavored Twinkies? There you go there’s something for you to work on come up with some banana flavored Twinkies LOL!
Banana flavored Twinkies - for the people who want to pretend they're eating healthy but still want the snack! 😁
I like where you are going with that!
Now that is a commercial!
Twinkies got stuck in the fake exhaust vents
All the Volkswagens except for the golf have cooled seats, I don’t get why they don’t have it for an option on this car, I’m sure people would happily pay $500 more for them 🙃
I totally agree with you!
Love this 2019 q3
Those fake exhaust outlets make me wonder what Audi was thinking if there’s no exhaust outlets there don’t put in fake ones
White Knight they do that because of the carbon buildup that will accumulate and look bad on the actually tips. I agree just hide the tailpipes. But this is why they do it. It’s a result of direct injection.
I totally can stand them.
I say just leave them out and keep the exhaust underneath the vehicle.
Jerome H My Mustang GT has direct injection but no carbon buildup on the back of the car from them
Audi is particularly good in suv department as compared to BMW or Mercedes
I totally agree with you!
Good morning Joe! Would this be for those who want a fancier Tiguan? Seems to be similar in size. Nice review! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
David Jakubiak Thanks!
You hit the nail on the head!
This is trie!
Audi is doing a fabta job with their cars.
I totally agree with you!
A used 2019 or 2020 Q3 or a new 2021 or 2020 CX-5?
Cx 5
does this 2.0T engine still burn engine oil?
Good question!
@@RaitisRides i know those VW 1.4T still burning a lot of engine oil, and vw make it as "normal" which is wrong
I couldn’t decide Volvo XC60 or Audi Q3
You guys in the States don't have the Q2? I've been in Oz a decade so clueless to most of what's available in the States nowadays.
Do a video on hyundai i30 n fastback please...
If we had that in the USA I would.
Didn't expect the Q3 to be 62.9" tall lol
Cant believe you didn't zonk that front grill . What's up with that grill top half opened bottom half all closed it looks weird. Zonk that thing!
And who doesn’t love easy access to a banana? Or a cream filled Twinkie?
Exactly!
Please do the RQ3 Sportback
I will get that together for you!
nice video
Thanks for saying that!
Review the 2019 Acura ILX Premium A-Spec with red leather seats!
I will be tracking one down for you!
@@RaitisRides that would be awesome. Thank you in advance!
I’m so torn between this the Cadillac xt4 and Acura RDX apec
I would go RDX.
Raiti's Rides thank you .. I really appreciate your opinion..absolutely the best automobile reviewer online .. keep up the great work!!
they still sell both of those brands of gum
That s good to know! I stick to sugar free gum now that I am older.LOL
Right I didn’t notice it was an inch wider LOL! Not!
LOL
The fact you didn't even complain about the old key made you lose credibility.
LOL! Thanks for the feedback! LOL
19/24 is horrible mileage. Expect getting around 18/19 actual mpg
I totally feel your pain!
That wheel and tire is from 2000 kia sorento though
So very true!
I'm gonna give you half a ZONK for saying HUBBA BUBBA Joe
Why? You don't like that gum?
high priced vehicle and no fog lights or at least led running lights...im not feeling that either. The fake exhaust is really killer ridiculous
I totally agree with you Melvin!
Is this the base model?
No
