If Rory combined with Carwow Matt, they can beat any car-show out there in the world. In fact, I would cancel my Netflix, Amazon prime and sit with popcorn every day waiting for a video from them.
Agree totally mate. I was about to pick up an S3 before COVID hit and am now in a position to do so again. I’ve waited this long I think I’ll wait for the new model to release and just put a deposit/pre order one (saloon version ofc!)
Bmw must see Audi A3 sportback and saloon is giving tough competition to Merc A class and Bmw 1 and 2 series .this is War in this segment .this is intersting lets see how it performs
I don't care how good the car is, they shit the bed with 2 series gran coupe in terms of exterior design. put the 2, A3 and (CL)A-class next to each other and ask people which one they fancy. I don't know what confused soul woud pick the BMW - and I'm a fan of the brand.
I was hoping you beat ‘Whatcar’ in breaking news of the beauteous new A3 Saloon review, but it was a very close drag race! Even through lockdown 🔐 your effervescent personality and irreprehensible aura makes for highly enjoyable; fantastic reviews! Keep up on the great work you’re doing. 👏🏻
you will lose a little boot space due to the quattro in the S3, which is often never mentioned. You'll only find out when you try to put something that would normally fit your A3 Saloon. I don't think this applies to other models when adding quattro.
Yes but I would hope the saloon has a longer wheelbase because with saloons the seating is lowered because of less headspace but that requires more legroom at the back. Hope they done it otherwise they'll have made a saloon with rear space the size of a coupé
I've always liked the s3 saloon. All the car you need. Yobish enough to have fun, smart enough to turn up to a funeral in, sensible enough to turn up to a business meeting, and stylish enough that people take some notice
car is perfect dimension, all new cars become so big.. you cant park any more on parking, to not step on one or both lines when you park. not even talking about how cant open doors on most parking lots. this car is returns of sedans-limusines. why would any one bought big sedan if you have so much SUV on markets for same price. small car as this is perfect sedan size
Exactly. I usually like both channels, but the Carwow video was poorly done and couldn't watch past the halfway mark. On the other hand, Rory did a fantastic job here.
BMW 1 series, look out. I think this looks a lot better, more sleek even the basic model will look sleeker than a one series BMW, the basic BMW one series basic look a little plain for my liking.. Can't wait to see any of the S or RS versions..
why did you leave top gear?!you and chris harris were the only guys who were knowledgeable, after the famous trio. them other guys aint really cutting it. watching all the way from South Africa
Yeah...but the video demo has an A3 that's fully loaded or close to fully loaded, and that one is nowhere near 27K or even 30K. For the base model you don't get those fancy dynamic turn signals, you don't even have LED turn signals in the front. Definitely no HUD, the navigation maps are also extra money to unlock, the cockpit display showed in the video is also upgraded, it's not the one that comes standard.
All that flashy LEDs and dancing lights don't make the car more premium. This stuuuuuuuupid innovation makes every modern Audi look childish, silly and "look at me, I am a drama queen"! This is putting off a lot of serius customers and only attracting druggies and young offenders. When buying a modern Audi you are not buying a car, you are basically buying a £25,000+ torch light! Enjoy.
Nice exterior, very similar to the previous gen with slight improvements. Ugly interior, downgrade from previous gen. They should have gave it the same dual touch they did for the A8/A6. Why skip out on the A3 this time? They did not do that last generation. 2011 A8, 2012 A6, 2013-14 A3 last gen all had the MMI Touch screen interface interior. I thought Audi was going to do the same thing with new A3. Even Mercedes manage to keep the A-Class looking similar with the E and S class interior.
I've fallen out of love with Audis still, appreciate they are amazing cars and to drive but I feel Mercedese and BMW are leaving them trailing and I never used to look at those two other brands Audi was my go to.
Shame they haven't got the 2 litre engine - I find the 1.5 engine to lack guts - had it in a Q3 courtesy car while my A5 2 litre (190 bhp) was in the garage.
You never know what the future holds, keep on working hard and pray. Audi is my dream from high school today im driving A3 sedan S tronic 1.4 tfsi. Believe in yourself bra.
Dude. Good review, but you're too close to the camera. Like Max Headroom without the the head room. Your head practically touches the top and bottom of the screen. Scoot back just a touch. Think news broadcaster, not Tyler Durden telling me I'm the all singing, all dancing crap of the world.
pity audi breaks so quickly especially their automatic gearboxes. i had a 2014 a3 and everything started breaking, had to replace the gearbox and flywheel. then the engine burns oil like it’s nothing - got a oil consumption warning every month. audi cars are rubbish! i sold mine as it was more at the dealership than anything else. piece of rubbish
Rory I like your content but I feel like you are so focused on European and American vehicles too much. Please expand your reviewing with some Asian vehicles.
The only thing I don't like is those AC vents where the steering wheel are. They scream late 80s square. I will enjoy my 2018 A4. I don't like what they did with the A4 either with the rounded off.front end and removed the dial from the centre console
I'm not usually a fan of Audi but I actually like this design. I my mind we are in an era of some of the ugliest car designs ever seen in the idustry. So It's nice to see a more simple cool elegant design for a change
This video made my day!! Thank you! Was bummed that the previous RS3 wasn’t available the way I wanted it. This A3 looks even better than that. I’m so looking forward to the RS3! Any idea when it might come out? I’m in the US
Looks very classy! I currently own an A3 S line hatch and love the flat bottom steering wheel, which surely is one of THE features that defines the S line from lower models. Why then do you have to now pay extra for one? Smacks a bit of penny pinching.
I prefer the front to the rear, mainly because there are now no longer a twin tailpipe but fake outlets instead. This car looks great though and the tech has really caught up. I am swapping my tfsi Sport, owned for over 3 years, for an S/Line as soon as a decent deal is available
If Rory combined with Carwow Matt, they can beat any car-show out there in the world. In fact, I would cancel my Netflix, Amazon prime and sit with popcorn every day waiting for a video from them.
I agree with you 💯 percent. They are excellent presenters.
Nah Matt with those corny memes the entire video now a days ruins everything.
That would be a big move,entertainment wise and business wise,but just imagine if matt,rory,clarkson,richard and may came together🤩
Um grand tour?
P K he needs the other 3 buffoons from the Grand Tour...and their budget.
This car is just beautiful...your presentation also makes watching the video from start to end enjoyable
Liking the design. Looks like another hit for Audi.
easily but sportback isnt a bad looking hatch
I find the sedan more prettier than the Sportback.
just prettier
Same here. Nonetheless both of their releases are hits for me.
Agree totally mate. I was about to pick up an S3 before COVID hit and am now in a position to do so again. I’ve waited this long I think I’ll wait for the new model to release and just put a deposit/pre order one (saloon version ofc!)
Looks good, more like a sawn-off A4 than an A3. Nice. Glad Rory is reviewing it too!
Bmw must see Audi A3 sportback and saloon is giving tough competition to Merc A class and Bmw 1 and 2 series .this is War in this segment .this is intersting lets see how it performs

@@DenisKudlik BMW 2-series are meant for grandpa and grandma. Just like the Golf + and Suzuki Liana.
BMW 2 should come standard with a sixpence.
Handsome car. Audi knows how to keep their customers happy...even the conservative ones.
To all phone makers: Please don't remove the headphone jack.
To all car makers: Please don't remove the volume knob.
Here Here!!!!
Looking forward to the S3 saloon.
Or the RS3
Hopefully they don't water it down, I'd like to see ps matching the A class amg
Isnt there now an rs3 saloon?
@@silvias15Driver the rs3 is coming in September but idk about the saloon
It looks so good, it's sculpted really nicely!!
Pretty early. Rory is one of the best! Love his personality.
Left right and centre first 10 seconds and already smooth editing
I was hoping you beat ‘Whatcar’ in breaking news of the beauteous new A3 Saloon review, but it was a very close drag race!
Even through lockdown 🔐 your effervescent personality and irreprehensible aura makes for highly enjoyable; fantastic reviews!
Keep up on the great work you’re doing. 👏🏻
Everybody published at 8am. Or at least they should have done. Thanks for watching. -Rory
I have the current A3 Saloon 1.5 TFSI, I think I will get the new S3 Saloon next.
you will lose a little boot space due to the quattro in the S3, which is often never mentioned. You'll only find out when you try to put something that would normally fit your A3 Saloon.
I don't think this applies to other models when adding quattro.
ssj3forever no one buys an s3 for boot space my friend
Sam Brennan exactly😂😂 just smiles per gallon👌🏽
The RS3 is going to be nice.
great video, thanks for sharing your opinion about the new Audi A3, its been definitely my favorite car for years now!
Excellent first look at a very classy looking motor. Looking forward to it being test driven.
Waiting for s3
Saloon looks nicer but the hatchback more practical.
I must agree one of the best car presenters for the average Man 👌🏾👏🏾
Prefer this over the 1 series and a class, good job audi!
Literally the only Audi car I get excited about 🙂, best in class.
So you don't like the r8 or rs7?
The best in class but this class is not big :)
Only CLA can be compared to this.
2 series, a class saloon... still not very big but yeah..
This is my preferred choice for my last car.
When is the A6 Plug in hybrid coming to the UK?
Can't wait to see what the RS3 will be like
Yes but I would hope the saloon has a longer wheelbase because with saloons the seating is lowered because of less headspace but that requires more legroom at the back. Hope they done it otherwise they'll have made a saloon with rear space the size of a coupé
A3 SEDAN LOOKS STUNNING!!!
I've always liked the s3 saloon. All the car you need. Yobish enough to have fun, smart enough to turn up to a funeral in, sensible enough to turn up to a business meeting, and stylish enough that people take some notice
This is how you do a lockdown video Mat Watson
The new Audi interiors are top notch
Prettiest in its class. 😎
Great job Rory, even when ur not driving the cars, your shows are amazing, factual and entertaining. 👍🏾
The shape is reminiscent of the old Audi 80.. a classic
Nicer than the A4, like if you agree
car is perfect dimension, all new cars become so big.. you cant park any more on parking, to not step on one or both lines when you park. not even talking about how cant open doors on most parking lots. this car is returns of sedans-limusines. why would any one bought big sedan if you have so much SUV on markets for same price. small car as this is perfect sedan size
Отличный канал и отличная подача материала👍👍👍
Best looking car in 2020 hands down that's affordable
A little baby A4. I like it.
Like the vlog Rory that’s what makes you a great presenter you say it as it is fend or please keep up the good work
Much better than Matt's review
Exactly. I usually like both channels, but the Carwow video was poorly done and couldn't watch past the halfway mark. On the other hand, Rory did a fantastic job here.
German cars are well built
If this A3 is under £30,000 then is that just a starting level entry before adding the optional extras ?
I really like these personally, especially with the 1.0. Which is not something I ever thought I’d say…
I thought I was the only one that noticed you review a lot of Audi's lately
It will still be the weapon of choice for the usual Audi driver.
BMW 1 series, look out. I think this looks a lot better, more sleek even the basic model will look sleeker than a one series BMW, the basic BMW one series basic look a little plain for my liking.. Can't wait to see any of the S or RS versions..
great early review, top man is Rory. Look forward to the drive
why did you leave top gear?!you and chris harris were the only guys who were knowledgeable, after the famous trio. them other guys aint really cutting it. watching all the way from South Africa
Is the fuel type regular unleaded or premium unleaded fuel
Rory: dude, you remind me of legendary James May.
When entry level cars are better than the top ones of audi and merc😂
Think I prefer the A4 TDI, @ least I have a better chance of fitting in it 😂🙈🙄
Thanks Rory, Yes it's very very handsome Audi.. can't wait to see that with the manual transmission
Yeah...but the video demo has an A3 that's fully loaded or close to fully loaded, and that one is nowhere near 27K or even 30K. For the base model you don't get those fancy dynamic turn signals, you don't even have LED turn signals in the front.

Love new a3
Much better looking than the hatch but cant fit my bike in a saloon so a hatch wins out for me haha
Yes this A3 saloon looks more cool and elegant than the A3 sport back.
I don’t get why they bother making the 2.0tdi with less hp, people got the 1.6tdi because it’s less in taxes but those 2.0tdi’s will be very close
Nice exterior, very similar to the previous gen with slight improvements. Ugly interior, downgrade from previous gen. They should have gave it the same dual touch they did for the A8/A6. Why skip out on the A3 this time? They did not do that last generation.
2011 A8, 2012 A6, 2013-14 A3 last gen all had the MMI Touch screen interface interior.
I thought Audi was going to do the same thing with new A3.
Even Mercedes manage to keep the A-Class looking similar with the E and S class interior.
Audi are taking orders now on it's website for the sportback
The A3 saloon is small. If you are over 1m 80 it'll feel small. I didn't buy it as company car.
looks nice
COMPACT👍
im the first to comment for once!!!! yes!!!!
🤩
Unfortunately the S3 is horrendous in sport back form
Buy the last generation of you smart
Need a 40 TFSI or S3 to upgrade. Want something premium and fantastic and already loved the old A3 Saloon but just didn’t have the funds at the time!
I've fallen out of love with Audis still, appreciate they are amazing cars and to drive but I feel Mercedese and BMW are leaving them trailing and I never used to look at those two other brands Audi was my go to.
Shame they haven't got the 2 litre engine - I find the 1.5 engine to lack guts - had it in a Q3 courtesy car while my A5 2 litre (190 bhp) was in the garage.
Same gutted they're not doing 2.0 litre petrol engine
Can't wait for my new RS3 ❤️
Here I go again... watching reviews for things I’ll never afford.
You never know what the future holds, keep on working hard and pray. Audi is my dream from high school today im driving A3 sedan S tronic 1.4 tfsi. Believe in yourself bra.
They are all too similar, you can get a base model car that looks almost as mean as an RS
Dude. Good review, but you're too close to the camera. Like Max Headroom without the the head room. Your head practically touches the top and bottom of the screen. Scoot back just a touch. Think news broadcaster, not Tyler Durden telling me I'm the all singing, all dancing crap of the world.
hey, BMW, SEE THIS?! this is DESIGN. Remember when you used to do this? Audi is eating your lunch here....
Bmw and Mercedes definetly destroying themselves
pity audi breaks so quickly especially their automatic gearboxes. i had a 2014 a3 and everything started breaking, had to replace the gearbox and flywheel. then the engine burns oil like it’s nothing - got a oil consumption warning every month. audi cars are rubbish! i sold mine as it was more at the dealership than anything else. piece of rubbish
Rory I like your content but I feel like you are so focused on European and American vehicles too much. Please expand your reviewing with some Asian vehicles.
So splashy lights make a car premium. Mmmm, i always thought build quality was the main reason to buy a premium car. Must be wrong. :-)
The only thing I don't like is those AC vents where the steering wheel are. They scream late 80s square. I will enjoy my 2018 A4. I don't like what they did with the A4 either with the rounded off.front end and removed the dial from the centre console
I wish i could fit in to this Car
Indont think so! Sportback more sexiest than this
I'm not usually a fan of Audi but I actually like this design. I my mind we are in an era of some of the ugliest car designs ever seen in the idustry. So It's nice to see a more simple cool elegant design for a change
Embargo must have just been lifted cuz here comes an avalanche of A3 reviews....
This video made my day!! Thank you! Was bummed that the previous RS3 wasn’t available the way I wanted it. This A3 looks even better than that. I’m so looking forward to the RS3! Any idea when it might come out? I’m in the US
An S3 with over 300 bop paired with the 48volt starter generator, 8 speed Zf.
now imagine rs3 with black rim fuck
Why it doesn't come with paddle shift ?
It looks good.
The a3 saloon will be pretty similar to drive as the saloon? I think you meant sportback
Really not liking the front lights
Best looking small Saloon bar non. Just blown the competition out of the water..
Looks very classy! I currently own an A3 S line hatch and love the flat bottom steering wheel, which surely is one of THE features that defines the S line from lower models. Why then do you have to now pay extra for one? Smacks a bit of penny pinching.
I prefer the front to the rear, mainly because there are now no longer a twin tailpipe but fake outlets instead. This car looks great though and the tech has really caught up. I am swapping my tfsi Sport, owned for over 3 years, for an S/Line as soon as a decent deal is available
Prefer the saloon but then there are 67 plate RS3 saloons going for 35k now so....I know which one I would go for..
what a beauty🤤
Looks like An upscale Alfa 156 for 2020.
When does the new S3 get released Rory ?
“Late 2020”. -Rory
Brilliant review, but I love the click wheel from the iPod 20 years ago 👍
