The Audi A3 was the original posh hatchback, swiftly followed by the Mercedes A-Class and the BMW 1 Series. More recently it's been attacked by ever-higher-quality Volkswagen Golfs and Ford Focuses, but the latest A3 moves the game on significantly. It's now the most premium of premium hatchbacks, with the familiar Audi head-turning looks but a new sense of style inside. It's a gadget lovers delight, with lots of hi-tech equipment. There's a range of advanced, efficient petrol and diesel engines, while a greater emphasis on ride quality makes it more comfortable, although there's still some work to do in the sportier models. There's more space inside than in the mark twoA3 and the current model has a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Offered initially as a three-door, the five-door Sportback and a convertible will join the lineup in 2013, with the first ever A3 saloon appearing soon after. This is a crucial car for Audi, designed to appeal to ambitious young professionals.

I love the interior of the A3! Its minimalistic, modern and very nice build! Definitely the best in the class.
My friend bought one of these recently, and it is a great car. The quality is simply incredible for a hatchback. Audi has really gone all out on their new models.
it's painful to see those halogen headlights in such a car

I love halogen lights they make cars look cheap
The BMW 1-series is more expensive for anything with the same sort of performance and it's significantly heavier (RWD means a propshaft and big rear diff). Also, BMWs are notoriously hopeless in snow unless you have proper winter tyres. This does look a lot better than the previous model, especially at the back. The main problem with an A3 is that it's become the default junior management company car. Avoid a black or white diesel model if you want yours to stand out from all of those.
Loving this car! Awesome review Mat !
I absolutely love this guys videos :D
Mat sounds like the guy from Art Attack

look at those air vents they look great and i will buy this car for its interior its so much classier than the others, infact its the best interior audi makes and its class because its so futuristic
The new a class looks fantastic . please review it soon matt !!
I really don't get this criticism that it's too similar to the older model - it's not difficult at all to see the differences and updates made to the design. New headlights, new grille, new rear lights, new A4 style wings... why is none of that mentioned?
I wish when they tried to say how fun it is they would compare it to a FWD like the golf or Seat Leon, instead of a RWD. A RWD is always going to be more fun so wouldn't it be better to compare it against a car that is more similar?
I love the simple dash design!
good review as usual!
i suggest you to use a compressor for the audio track, at 1:23 there's quite a leap in volume in his voice. really nice car btw, and amazing interior design
Can't wait for the new Merc A-Class!!
I'm SO getting one. Sport model, 2.TDI
beautiful interior! looks top notch
Like the older one but this definitely ain't bad
Some cars in the UK do not come as air conditioning as standard, because of the cool weather there.
I'd prefer tfsi
It's funny to see Mats review in 2019 lol
I think the BMW is fantastic. Not for the looks, but for the driving experience, because of the real wheel drive and the better steering and sport driving setup. Although the new A3 looks absolutely amazing.
Mat was in a good mood, thats what i thought watching this
can anyone please explain why motor companies put hand hangers right over the driver's window?
I personally prefer the SEAT Leon FR
I prefer the exterior of the 1 Series but even as a purely BMW man, I prefer in interior of the A3, if you could have both it would be the perfect premium hatch!
the new A3 sportback is here! review it soon! btw, nice captain america t-shirt under :)
Cant wait for the Audi S3 saloon
Yes, first quarter 2013, it´s called A3 Sportback
I think this is a succesful design actually, the point of the a3 is to be understated yet posh. most buyers are probably adults or daft students lol.. best a3 yet at least.
i think it doesn't look vastly different because unlike some manufacturers Audi's styling isn't so controversial. It's good-looking and distinct, so no need to change
that's a misano red or the brilliant red?
Hi carbuyer, would you able to review for nissan gtr ?
me too, he's the best
I have to agree it looks good.. not to fat or to big. Has good lines yes like it
Not as bad if u have the M sport model but yeah BMW has let it down a bit when compared to the other models they make
I drive the new VW golf much the same car and engine..
Damn Matt Watson from carwow really had that glow up
Love the car. I would prefer it in a different colour though.
is anything that you show come standard with the 1.6 se tdi as well?
Bullseye! I reall do think more is less and for example the Citroen DS-series is something I really like. Matter of taste, that's for sure!
do you get them alloys on a se model as well or...?
Nope. Looks aggressive and beautiful at the same time. It's brilliant.
SE normally stands for special equipment.
great review matt m8,i have a 2010 se sportback tdi 8p a3 ,i want a 2015 se a3 next.😁
Love Audis
A vauxhall corsa and mazda mx5, he mentioned it in another review:)
Please review the Audi A3 Sportback
im waiting for the sportback
I believe it is a Mazda MX-5... at least is what it says on his Facebook page, but I ask myself this question too...
matt...Why didn't you turn on the new LED??
Nice watch - what model is it?
I actually think they've improved the rear.
Wat happened to the day time running leds?
And you sat in the Golf VII and new a3?
Dear Mat, could you review the ford focus ST? Everyone else has done it but they're boring.
Audi
the scirocco has much less space rear seat wise/ but matt didnt critisize that too much.. hmm
it also has a 5-door model.
Um the horn at the start with subtitles on says "but I"
This interior aged better than the bmw 1 series
is that pop up screen standard?
does this come with 4 doors version ?
TO FEEL MY WRATH!
Yes it is. At least in my country.
You should look on to the new Mercedes Citan....a renault kangoo with the mercedes badge :D
Nice car!
I like it.
I really hate the line along the side of the car that gives the car the opposite of 'shoulders', especially at the rear above the rear wheels.
Good car. I'd rather have the 1 series BM though.
The more i look at the back, the more i like it.
Review the A class!!!
Haha, praise the Lord, Audi fixed the steering! :))
i just wonder, what is matts personal car?
Why do they mention that AC is standard? Every car sold now has AC as standard.

Manuel Sabu not small cars like Toyota aygo... Lol
I knew it was one of those two french engines but could'nt remember which. So not a complete mistake on my part. Anyhow Renault make good engines as has been tried and tested over the worlds finest race tracks as i'm sure we all know. It was just a comment relating to the vehicle, I never said it was bad, but I knew there was a 'French Connection'.
It's ok... but in my opinion things like the seats and plastic dash really let it down compared to the new A-class.
+1
The "old" technology from Fiat hasn't the same problems included that VW has. TSI clogging the valves, EGR and turbo, chain cam breaking and so the "great" DSG. *If* the technology worked in real life, they would rule, but as it is now old-school technology wins hands down.
i jus cant wat for mercedes a class review.... nice audi though
finally 1080p
sport back if you need practicality
nice
No down sides?
nearly 70 mpg? we don't get that in the US
A constructive criticism , sometime when Mat talks he kinda goes out of breathe and his voice goes almost silent in the videos. other than that.. keep it UP YO
Review A3 Sportback
Ahhhhh... Brits, always top notch on the humour!!!!!! (: Thumbs up if you agree....
I prefer amazing quality and stylish interior of Audi than kitschy DS interior.
make a review of A class! =]
Carbuyer must be paid by the VW group... They're always doing their cars, they never say they're bad...
renault 4th generaation please
I wonder if another badge on the front would make one think the other way? Not trying to offend btw. How can this amazing quality be experienced? The smell of the plastic? ;) I think it's more about what we feel about a brand and Audi (and why not VW) has done really well in marketing the products, hats off for that! But there really isn't any superior quality to be found....
Make sure you check the all new Volvo V40 and V40 cross-country and the you will forget about all the Mercedes Audi, VW etc. Enjoy
Not as dull as 1 series.
Subaru Forester review please.
Where's the force this time?
You've heard of something like minimalism? This is a very "premium" and interior quality in the new A3 is the best in class. If you like strange, kitschy interior design so go with the French brands...
please review the sportback one when its out :P i know it will be the same just a bit longer
someone help, this or the sportback?
