Thanks for the vid gents. Y’all had me hooked on the S5 vid you did back (currently on order, ETA in March). Great stuff

Great review. This was not on my radar but it does look better than the previous years and the infotainment center is much improved. Have to agree w you about the shifter

The mild hybrid system can also re-gen brake and use that captured energy to give a torque boost. It's not just stop/start.

Absolutely excellent and highly informative video guys! Thank you so much because it really helped me thinking about getting an Audi instead of another BMW in a couple of years time! ✌️ I thought that I would want the A4 but after watching this video I think the A3 has everything I could possibly want and then some.

@@CalsVlogs i just came from a Honda Accord 08 5 speed. Honda is a great car. The Audi is a beautiful car. No problems at all. They give you 4 years 50,000 miles. If you buy a cpo it’s the end of the original warranty plus a year or 20k miles. So say if you get a 2023 but a cpo with only 5-10k miles on it. You still have the original 50k plus the 20k from cpo. Covers everything. Only like change once a year. I got a new 2023 so I still have a way to go. I heard the a3 is one of the most reliable cars. It is pricey to maintain on the 20k 40k mile mark. I got Audi care also. I would get the Audi care and gap coverage. I love my car. I’m 6’ tall and feel great in it. I would def buy an a3. You might want. A bigger car like the a4 or 5’s. But those are a little to fancy for me. I wanted a sporty car but luxury. It drives so smooth. Very fast actually so just be careful. You can get all these trims but I didn’t go to crazy. You can add stuff on also. German cars are beautiful. My wife and mother are benz people but I always loved Audi. They have very good deals rite now. I got a 4.7 apr. But def get the Audi care and gap and you’ll be set for minimum 4 years if you get a new car. Or if not get a cpo car. Get one that they used as a fleet or the workers got to try. They are literally brand new cars with only 2-5k miles on them. Only the fleet cars have that small of miles. Other cpo could be a bit more. They cover everything. I put premium gas in it. They say regular but I have the Quattro which is a turbo so a kid I know form Audi said use premium. You’ll love it. Go for it. I’m telling you.

Audi says the 48 volt mild-hybrid system provides a power boost of 12 horsepower and 37 pound-feet of torque on the initial shove off the line. So the 201hp/ 221 torque ( then goes to 213 /258 w/ mild hybrid)....and real world 38mpg on regular fuel...(FWD version)...

I just leased a 21 VW Jetta SEL Premium and it has a ton of more options (heated steering, nav, heated & cooled seats, wireless charging, and wireless CarPlay) compared to the A3 in this video -- only difference I've noticed is an electronic shifter, new dialer, and a slightly better engine. The digital cockpit and nav system is identical, considering it's proprietary VW/Audi tech. The MSRP for my car was $30K compared to $34-35K with less features. I'm a bit shocked since it's comparable quality in my opinion without the Audi badge.
