Its the first A3 hatch 5 door I genuinely love. Love the front nose. Its ironic that they have done such a good job sprucing up the a3 hatch and did very little to the A3 saloon which I used to love before now. Also red is class in it.

Brilliant review, as always! Thank You.

I came on your page to look into buying an A5 S-Line over an A3 S-Line.... Now its just solidified my move to the A3 😋

Great review! Keep up the good work.

Bought an A3 hatch a 7 years ago, 2l diesel. Best car I ever owned albeit it was a bit tight inside when the baby and all the paraphernalia came along so it had to go. I still keep an eye out for the car on the road, loved it! Although i rarely saw another man driving the hatch, they normally drove the saloon version. I never noticed until a mate pointed that out to me after buying it, didn’t hamper my enjoyment by any means 😂

I'd the same comments when I had a new 2004 A3 2.0 TDI. I specced it up to 43k! Madness. Then I bought an S3 ad the same comments - "womans car". Whatever!

New a3 looks better than i remember. Initially I liked the Leon. But not so much now. Maybe it’s the angle but having seen this, I’d pick this (taking prices out of the equation).

Literally watch this every week, since I ordered my red one just before Christmas. Waiting for a new car during lockdown is driving me mad 🤪

Watched your review while having breakfast this morning. It was a lot cheerier than watching the news and a lot more interesting! I agree that this new A3 looks pretty smart and I think, much more stylish than the new golf. Do you think they’ll stick in a 2 litre petrol version, apart from the S3? Your channel is a great place to visit when thinking of a new purchase as you say it as it is. Keep them coming! Cheers.

I love the A3, but you have to spend so much on extras, that the price just gets higher and higher.

You had the standard golf on the channel, this is the s line a3. You have to compare this with the r line golf to get a true comparison between the two. Good review nevertheless 👍🏻

Yeah, go ahead and buy a second hand A7... then when it’s time to change tyres, cam belt, brakes, etc etc you’ll be broke. Not to mention insurance, tax and possible faults that any second hand car will, sooner or later, develop. So who’s mad then? The one who spends 43 grand on a brand new, modern, more eco friendly vehicle which also comes 3 years warranty, doesn’t require an MOT or expensive servicing for a while, or the one who buys the A7 just to show off and pretend they’re much richer than they actually are?

tu es jaloux ?

I own Leon SC FR 2021 and my dad owns golf 7 2018. Yesterday I took Audi A3 S-line 2022 to a test drive. It’s the same motor like in the Leon and a lot of similarities in interior. So my opinion is it’s not worth it even close. Leon full option is 32k€ and Audi is 44k€ with a half of equipment of Seat. So at the end if you want to spend 45k or more buy Japanese car and not Audi. If tou don’t want to spend 45k then Leon is a great option. It’s the same brand but cheaper. You pay only the name AUDI…;)

What a rip off, for a fraction of the price you could have a ST Mountune. 250BHP .... and heated steering wheel included 😁

Its more expensive then a Mercedes lol. Mercedes have more options for free.... And this is the most expensive Audi version you are showing. Which goes easly over 45k euro.

Would be better on 17", cheaper tyres and better ride. Needs a manual handbrake imo and its a crime not to have a spare wheel as standard.
