Great review! I can see this being more popular in the UK than even Audi may anticipate; it is definitely one of the best looking Audis, and with the A4 now looking quite big now for a "compact" executive, this may well fill the void for those who want a small premium saloon.
You are entitled to your opinion and so am I! Although no guarantee of experience (cue the pedantic point), age is linked to experience if a person has spent their career in a single industry. I personally trust the judgement of people with greater experience - this could apply to various industries and shows why their pay increases with experience. If you like this review & feel it is all-encompassing then, great. I also feel this car appeals to a 30-50 age range, so not particularly young.
Is there any problem that is not as sharp as the 1 series? I mean, most of the buyers of these cars look for refinement, a quality ride. It's not worse than the 1 Series, it's just a different set up.
I have an 2007 A4. I hear the new ones are much better to drive, but they're just too large. Glad Audi's made this - just as the BMW 1-series coupe appeals to those who love the smaller 3-series of yesterday, so does this A3 saloon appeal to those of us who love past smaller A4s too.
Hi there.Yes this is exactly what you are looking for,I just got one a few months ago and its amazing.Its small but roomy and it looks sporty and its total luxury looking,classy and fun to drive .Im so happy with it.I tried the current a4 but they felt too big unlike the earlier models.You will enjoy
That's a fair point. However with age comes experience. I would want a reviewer of a compact luxury car to have a wealth of experience of these types of cars over a number of years. If I wanted to buy a hot hatch, I'd look no further than Chris Harris' reviews, as he genuinely knows his stuff and has years of on-the-job experience of these cars, hence has built up a loyal following of viewers who trust what he says. This review just didn't really hit the spot for me.
U must live in europe then. Here in the US the G37 starts at $36,000 while the A3 starts at $34,000. The infiniti might be more expensive since its only built in japan shipping costs mite be higher cuzz of that
Is there any point in buying the A4 anymore? This A3 saloon answers the original brief of the A4 which seems to have made the A4 redundant. I see the point of the A6 and the A8, but i only see the A4 as a model to fill the gap between the A3 and A6. The A3 also has the trendier image, design and sportier proportions. Audi need to work very hard to make the next A4 a valuable product to the market, otherwise it will just become another oversized executive car with no unique appeal.
chris harris can make a golf cart look interesting because he talks of his own experience and not the script. it has something to do with sincerity, not professionalism. this guy wasted his energy on his excitement.
"you got this really great cabin," let me not show it to you!

Already saving to get one very soon, i love this car
Have u got it

Even the 1.4 tfsi model is nice especially in misano red color it looks perfect
great review, would be nice to see what changes they make to the driving experience for the s3/rs3 saloons
Ive always preferred Sedans over hatchbacks. And the new A3 looks very nice.
Good review. Makes me wonder why consider the A4.
Very good review, well-presented. Nice work.
Steering is a bit numb just like your review
In this color this shape looks good.

it looks almost exactly like a vw jetta, i assume they share the same chassis?

Very nice, would rather have that over the 5 door hatch or the A4.
Do you mind showing us bit of the dashboard
I am a BMW guy for life but this is a nice looking car.
Because the A4 has gotten larger and more expensive since it started. This A3 is the same size as the original A4.
The LEDs turn into indicators when you indicate
Why haven't they review the CLA yet??!?!
0:38 I see disk brakes on the front, good good... what the, are those drum brakes in the back?? On a German lux brand? Hm....
I don't know what you are looking at, but the rears are not drums. They are just smaller rotors. You can even see the calliper.
When he sat in the back was the front seat left as him as the driver? Meaning it would sit 4 adults comfortably?
It fits 4 normal sized adults (european sized normal...not american!) without a problem. the A3 has much more room in the back than the CLA

Looks better than an A4. I'm sure the S3 will be an ass kicker. Very nice.
What happened to the BMW 1 Series? The Audi and VW are actually the same car.
Can you review the bmw 1 series coupe
This will be, that's the point.
U must live in europe then. Here in the US the G37 starts at $36,000 while the A3 starts at $34,000. The infiniti might be more expensive since its only built in japan shipping costs mite be higher cuzz of that
Well what do you want him to do. It's not a special car. He did a very good job imo.
I want a review of the S3
please review S3 Sedan
whats the point?? they have the a4 for their small sedan, the a3 is and should always be a hatchback
is it available with a manual transmission?
hmm a rival to the cla merc, hard choice in my opinion, they both look awesome
No it's not, audi is on it's own, unlike the other 3 mentioned

hello.is CLA better of a3 sedan
Comparing this car with the Ford fusion what car would win?
the fusion is a worse car but much bigger...a whole different class
much better than standard A3 or CLA or A-Class.cool
Those number plates should be on a BMW 325 !
is it suppose to be sporty? its an A3
Would rather take BMW 3 series..or 4 :D or Volvo ... just love all those safety tech in volvos...
It's a bit to expensive! But the best looking Audi (not that the A3 sportback isn't)
Maybe it's identical to the hatch?
Good review though!
That's what haters say, always comparing Audi with VW!
Give this kid a fucking break, the review wasnt that bad. I respect his efforts.
so its just like the Vw Jetta, Seat Toledo, Skoda Rapid.
it would be nice with rwd and a manual transmission
east europe loves small sedans too not only china, US more like bigger sedans
they also have the same front, so why showing it? :)
A3 saloon or cla or 2 series
Tribute to the B5 A4. I think all the dimensions are the same
I really like that car.
This car hasn't even started selling in the US yet...
So you talked for 2 minutes about how great its interior is and all you could show was its trunk and backseat?!
Wouldn't want to be in in a rearseat in case it rolls...
Canadians love hatchbacks however we get what the Yanks get. This car will sell very well here as the S3.
chris harris can make a golf cart look interesting because he talks of his own experience and not the script. it has something to do with sincerity, not professionalism. this guy wasted his energy on his excitement.
Why do u NEVER show the interior?? That makes u kind of semi-professional really
the front overhangs are so long!!
maybe cuz all the models have basically the same interior...?
my new fav. car :)
he did just what his boss expected him to do. compare it to chris harris. reading off the script is easy
i really want to like this car but it reminds me so much of a Jetta.
A3 coupe has atleast so numb driving fealing... if you turn the wheal you have no idea if the tires even turned :D
An Audi Jetta. It'll do well in the US.
La nouvelle voiture de ma seour !!!!!!!
That would be cool
not a single shot of it's dashboard? wtf?
The tail light looks like a Mazda 6
i like that car
Because it looks like the A3 hatchback
B4 reborn! 2.7 turbo
A3 is not sold in US ST all... Wrong facts. But still good looking audi
in US A3 hatchback but not a saloon
basically an AWD Jetta
ista je kao u običnom A3.
4k less than the A4 how about some options then, oh snap!!!
headroom is poor on most new cars, especially small cars
Yeah I don't see why this exists really when the A4 is around.
the car looks different from the front. just saying
Skoda Oktavia with Audi badge , made in Hungaria
"..stupid haters" youll figure it out eventually, kid.
You guys realize this shares nothing with a jetta except engines, calling it a rebadge is just idiotic
Should have s4
The big problem is the high price
slažem se. ali slušaj ovo 0:42 ;)
What do you mean niche? It's audi's jetta!
Dude for the price of that fucking thing you can buy an infiniti G37 mate and its guaranteed to smoke that Audi
buy this
he's right though
elle est vraiment reussi et en 3 portes doit etre encore mieux.
It's exactly the same as VW vento
nice car....but most people pefer BMW or BENZ in Taiwan.............
audi a3 saloon vs mercedes benz cla
Eye Lyke It!
nicer skoda rapid
On it
Looks like a Volkswagen Jetta.
