2015 Audi A3 Review and Test Drive

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Audi A3 is finally back - and it's bigger than ever! 2015 brings us a fresh new format - the Sedan. In fact, there will be 5 different variations of the new Audi A3 as the model rolls out:
- Audi A3 Sedan with 1.8T front-wheel drive (170hp)
- Audi A3 Sedan with 2.0T quattro all-wheel drive (220hp)
- Audi A3 Sedan with 2.0T TDI clean-diesel engine
- Audi A3 Convertible
- Audi A3 Sportback (Hatchback) with etron plug-in hybrid system
Oh, and did I mention there will be an S3 sedan? :)
What's incredible about the A3 is that it packs all of the possibility of the flagship Audi A8 and the tech-wizard Audi A6.
Noteworthy is the next-gen Audi Connect system that connects the A3 to the internet via a T-mobile SIM card at up to 4G LTE speed. Trial subscription is 6 months, then pay-as-you-go.
With the Nav and other vehicle systems online, you get so much more capability than before. For example, let's say you know the name of a restaurant that you're going to, but not the address. Usually you would whip out your phone and do a search - now you can let your A3 do the searching. How about reading the reviews about that restaurant? Yes, the A3 can do that. Check the weather? Yep. Fuel Prices? Uh-huh. City Events? Check.
Be sure to subscribe to our channel for updates and test drives of the new A3 as it continues to emerge!

    The absolute BEST new car review I have seen on youtube . I always check out the new car reviews to look for my next Car and this review is by Far is leagues ahead of any others Ive seen. Its thorough , informative , detailed and the guy has an impeccable product knowledge with a eye for detail in his astute and slick delivery . Bravo buddy ! Ive been looking at an A3 and I have learned more about the Car from your one video review than at least 12 others that I have watched .

    What's amazing is that if Audi tried to sell that model with MPG figures like that in the UK they would be laughed out the country, Considering that we have a almost 400hp RS engine option that will get better figures than that. Petrol must be alot cheaper in the states to compensate, although can't say I noticed that while I was in New York. I'm about to put my A3 Saloon S-Line order in, thankfully with much better economy than the US version, with very little difference in performance. It also interesting to note the differences in what different markets will find more appealing in terms of standard equipment, the UK and US version are quite different in that respect. Great video though, some lovely shots and surprisingly honest remarks. Great looking car, cant wait to get my order in.

    Are you happy with the car? If you have s-tronic, there's a gearbox lag? How's the car soundproofing (eg at 130km/h, how's the wind sound?)? Also if you had the chance to test the ar, a5, how does the interior materials feel? (Tested an a5 with s-tronic and it had an annoying gearbox lag, when you kicked down the gass pedal. Also the soundproofing is not great (annoying wind at 110km/h+), maybe because frameless windows?) Thank you for your time!

    OMG I hate living in Denmark, I want to buy this car, and I got about the 50k dollars, the problem is that this car is 180% (nearly 2x) more expensive than it is in USA. This particulier car costs 94k dollars in Denmkar..... and the price is even worse when it comes to the more expensive cars like A8, the A8 starts from 77k dollars, but in Denmark it starts from 330k dollars.... just saying Denmark isn't really that nice country, maybe there is welfare, but the hospitals doesn't even offer good service, the only thing they do is making a operating failure and making it a lot more worse. And the top taxes are 66% + a lot more hidden taxes :) #FuckingSocialsts
