Just got this car, and I'm absolutely in love with it! Test drove the CLA, and a BMW 3 series, and I easily chose this 15' A3! Great looks, handles well, and has some real get up and go! No regrets!!
If you pick a CLA over this car your not a car guy! A3 is a faster and better handling vehicle. If your complaining about looks check out this car is red with 18 inch wheels. Looks amazing. Also no plastic interior like in the CLA. The only other car comparable is the BMW 228i
drive train lag with 258 lbft of torque? 1 second can make a huge difference especially in traffic. Looking for a car with immediate throttle response, had great interest for the A3 guess i'll have to look elsewhere
Just so you know, the "drive train delay" you mention is drive by wire delay. Most cars have the issue as there is no direct cable between the pedal and the throttle body, only electronics.
We're aware of drive by wire. The difference here between this car and many is its programming which is one of the least responsive to immediate inputs we've tested compared to many others. Drive by wire doesn't have to have a delay, it's deliberate on the part of the code.
TestDrivenTV All my drive by wire cars have had delay compared to its drive by cable counter parts. From a BMW 335d to a suzuki sx4 to a passat b5 4motion. the most severe case of this ive seen is in the early genesis coupes. sprint booster or something similar helps quite a bit with this issue.
@@TestDrivenTV My wife has this car and I have the Jetta GLI: This is definitely something that Audi programmed because the GLI does not have it anywhere near as bad, yet the motors are the same.

I find this interior very elegant, classy, and beautiful. Audi knows how to build interiors.
it’s amazing how much time he actually spends looking at the camera vs the road.
0-60 in most roadtest show 5.4 seconds. No drivetrain delay if you use sport mode.
Proud 2015 Audi A3 owner 😈😈. When I throw that shit in sports mode?? IM OUTTA DERE!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2023, I'm gonna get one asap
it's fun to drive, close relationship with the driver, organic, predictable slide on snowy curves.
I'm 6'3". Is there going to be enough leg and head room in this car. Thinking about buying one. Thanks!
I'm considering one of these used. Still sad that they weren't available with a stick shift; have to decide if I can live without it.
They did start offer a manual 2017 forward

is this the 2014 or 2015? Title says 14, verbiage says 15.
5 year reliability?
LOL
cool hat, farmer brown ..

A second delay on acceleration? Nice Engineering. Get a Lexus.
Audis and cowboy hats.....the wrong kind of horse power!
Just get a CLA , this doesn't look good a all
CLA is all looks, no substance. The Audi's interior looks way better too.
