You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
Good review car confection
Love the videos! Great to see these cars drive around Lexington :D
Thanks! And Saturday was a beautiful day for a drive too! ☀️
Thank you for the video 🙏
the A3 2.0t Quattro is the underappreciated bastard Child of the VAG lineup: A GTI with 4 wheel drive but it gets snubbed cause it's sandwiched between a GTI, Golf R, and Audi S3 (I'd say also the RS3 but that's way more money outside of the other cars).
Such an underrated machine
0:14 nice...going the wrong way down a one way 🤣
Hi! I am loving this very detailed and informative review. I'm currently interested in an A3 2.0T Premium FrontTrak and your review is making this a very favorable consideration!!! Hats off to you....😊❤️👏!!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great review as always! 😸😸😸😸😸😸
I love your videos. Can you try and get your hands on an S3 though?
Yes we'd love to drive one
Audis are the BEEEEEESSTTTT ! 😆😆
Wolkswagen won audi
Hi do you have to put down a deposit if you are on dal mobile thank you denise Wilson.
Love your videos a lot! Please do more of these luxury vehicles! Please do Lexus sedans like ES, GS, LS!
We're hoping to review the LS in the next week or so!
No need it. You can look different people review Lexus sedan.
Great video guys!!! I love the 2019 Audi A3 it’s very nice and a good price!!! Don’t forget to review the 2019 Audi e-ton!!
Don't worry we won't!
Car Confections awesome!! I can’t wait!! I’m so excited!!!
Nice Review Of 2019 Audi A3 😄
Thank you! 🙂
What a beauty
I smell a face off with the new A class
Awesome dear
You can make an explanation of the car seat leon fr 2019
I own a 2018 Audi S3.
It's peppy, but there's no question that it's still entry level compared to most of the rest of Audi's lineup.
Not with the right options
Nice detailed video guys. Maybe next time have some fun! You guys seemed so bored. Haha
I would love to see a comparison between the Audi A3 & Mercedes A220. Great review as always, have a good day.
Well that escalated quickly.
2WIREG seems like you cant afford either 😂
@2WIREG Maybe some people just don't like bigger cars, I don't the A4 has grown to big.
@2WIREG you are right.
Hi Mason and Drew 😄, excellent in depth review of the 2019 A3, in the black color it's a sleek and aggressive small European car if there were LED fog lights, the car would be even more stunning. The A3 is very much a Golf GTI on a sedan platform. I see a lot of similarities between this 2019 model and my 2014 Jetta. The numbers of the quattro powerplant is exactly the same as the new upcoming 2019 Jetta GLI. Audi and VW are siblings of course. I actually am surprised that Audi is still using a switchblade key for the A3 though it has push button start, but my Jetta is also push button start w/ a switchblade key. Ahhh that German quirkyness.
Yeah this cars been on the market for several years so that switchblade key is one of the holdout features... But that new GLI looks like a pretty intriguing option since it'll sticker for a lot less than this!
Nice sound at startup and I think I'd get the grey interior.
I’m still waiting for the 2019 A3 to be announced in the UK 🇬🇧. Some of the features you are showing as standard is as a option in the UK ones .
I just picked up my A3. Very fast on the pick up. More so than my 2015A4. Brilliant car. Love Audi cars.
Congrats man! It's a fun car to drive!
amazing review! 7:25 accidents will happen haha
After army I’m getting the exact one the way I want and build it the way I want
Gteat video review !
Thanks!
The best car to get is the one without all the bells and whistles. Audi makes fantastic cars that will last forever. Skip the nav and all the electronics and you'll be a very happy Audi owner.
I have this model and I am very satisfied, it has better mileage than Japanese cars
This is such a good car, I would most likely get an A5 though if I went for a Audi.
The A5 Sportback is the perfect Audi. But if you can't afford that, like me, the A3 is pretty great. It's so reliable. I wish more reviewers talked about that. I have a 2015 A3 and you know what has gone wrong in those four years? A dead battery. I wish more reviewers would talk about reliability, Audis are seriously good, reliable cars.
The more I understand start/stop, the more I dislike it.
1. A turbo engine should never be shut off while the turbo is hot. As in, you exit a freeway and come to a stop for a red light. Turbo is still very hot. Engine shuts off. Imo extremely bad for turbo and engine life.
2. When an engine shuts off, all the oil runs down into the crankcase. I don’t see any way that the cams and valves can stay lubricated enough to safely restart the engine then start driving in the space of a second or two.
Great review. Nice little car. I like Audis but found them to be too fragile for my driving style. If I had anything to complain about for your video, YOU DIDNT TURN ON THE REAR FOG LAMPS!!! J/K.
Keep up the good work.
Just curious so in the 2017 Quattro model u said premium not required but this 2019 model its required? Just wanted to make sure
You can only get paddles with the sport package, you get a flat bottom steering wheel as well.

I currently drive a modded 2013 Scion FR-S. The moral of the story is that I’m a big car enthusiast since I was young . I always swayed back and forth between American muscle, Japanese tuners and German luxury. Honestly the Japan’s are superior in engineering engines more sophisticatedly than their counterparts. I’ve been a fan of the jdm group for a while , but one thing that makes me want to trade in my frs is that it lacks luxury and gadgets ; pretty much like a race car, just the techometer and radio. The Japanese aren’t really sophisticated in making cars that have a great interior and something that you will never get tired of . I’m really not into German cars because I perceive people who drive them cocky and arrogant, but this car is one of my options. Unfortunately I’m going to downgrade in engineering wise , but hopefully the interior would make up for it. I also see for me that drive a manual Japanese car is for the teenagers and driving one of these is for appearing prestigious
This guy is very underrated!
Thanks! 😀
Can you tell me the song name in the start of the video?
@@rafaymonam6503 Its Efficient by Jincheng Zhang
I have an Audi A3 2016 premium plus Quattro and looks identical to this one, no thanks. I love my 2016!
Lol ok.... Identical huh???
i want this as my first car soooooo bad
Compare it to Lexus IS250. That would be a good comparison!
Does it auto lock and unlock when you walk away?
The cool thing about this car is that it has potential to be a sleeper car, the Quattro model has 225 HP, and with a simple ECU tune up and perhaps a few bolt-ons you can practically make it an unofficial Audi S3, the Audi S3 only has 67 HP more than the standard A3 (S3 292 HP). Unfortunately, you couldn't really do that with any other Audi model because the difference between other models like the A4/S4, or A5/S5 is 220 HP vs 354 HP, but with the A3 you can bridge the gap by a mere 67 HP.
SuperEman500 there is a garage that specializes in European cars near me in Oakville Ontario. They are an in house tuner shop who has a tune for any make or model. I’m looking at getting an A3 next year and taking it to them for a tune. Even better all of their stuff comes with an in house warranty.
Cant wait till mine comes in, on it way from germany to the US now!!
Evan St lucky, I’m waiting to pay mine off to get this
Doses Of Cars haha, well i had no choice. My b8 a4 died.... needs a new engine and i just dont want to fund that. Would rather let her die in peace.
Evan St how long had you have your a4 for
Doses Of Cars around 7 years
Evan St oh wow
ITS THHHHEEEEEE
TRIM BROTHERSSSS
Can't read that any other way than in the voice of that famous Boxing announcer haha
@@CarConfections hell yea dawg
Can we change the dash colour
Any canadians here from toronto I recommend PFAFF audi vaughan amazing service
does this package or packages for that matter have Remote start? I didnt hear u mention.
No Audi offers factory remote start at this point. Thanks for watching!
Other than visually, are there any differences between this and the sportback?
We don't have the hatchback in the U.S anymore, so we have no idea
I'm looking to get a 2020 Audi A3 S line Premium plus. Should I consider getting the 2019 Audi Premium Plus one instead? need opinions. ty.
If you can get a good deal, there isn't much of a difference at all so it might be good to get the 2019
It’s unfortunate that these trims don’t come with paddle shifters
Maybe in future models they will incorporate paddle shifter
I have this car it’s a premium plus 45 tfsi 2.0t s line with Quattro and I have the 18 inch rims, when I look up my vin Audi tells me it’s a premium plus so idk exactly what package I have. It’s very fun regardless and only has 19k miles (2k when I bought it) haven’t had any issues but I have filled my oil up about 7/10’s of a quart once since purchasing
Update, car now has 51000 miles and is going strong as hell still.. no mods yet but all in all not a back breaker in terms of service either, I love my Audi lol
I would avoid virtual cockpit. VAG still don't offer pixel guarantee on the screen, so after some years when it has lost lots of light strength they won't change it for free. It's gunna be expensive for all those who buy digital instrument screens like this, the lifespan is shorter than you think, it starts to "die" already after a few years of usage. When you compare a new screen to one used for 4 years the difference is really big. The car manufacturers needs to address this.
Which motor was in the one you reviewed? And does it "require" premium fuel?
Most of the models will come with the higher horsepower version, which is also what we had in this video. Also Premium fuel is required
Check again the A3 and Q3 don't require premium fuel, they are the only Audi's that don't, go the Audi USA and you will see. The S3 is the only one that requires Premium Fuel.
Rick PERONI any turbocharged car requires premium fuel.
Turbo charged cars require premium fuel
Turbo cars do not automatically require premium fuel. I have a 2018 GTI Autobahn that can take 87 octane but Peak Performance requires premium.
Yeah 2019 Mythos Black Metallic Audi A3 Premium Plus 45 Quattro Screen Cup holders Audio system Navigation 2.0L 4-CYLINDER 184 Hp and 222 Torque TFSI turbocharged Ulimate Sedan!!!!
14.5 Fuel Gallon and 363 Miles On this 2019 Audi A3 Premium Plus 45 Quattro!!!!!!!!
All things considered, the pricing is not reasonable especially for its size.
Does this have Cruise Control. I'm a first time European made car buyer. I'm thinking of getting a A3 Premium Plus, but, I would like to know if the 19's have cruise control?
Sorry, I happen to rewatch the video. I did see the cruise control, my bad.
eu gostei do vídeo Gostei do vídeo muito bom😁👍👏👏💗 Audi. A3. 1.4. 2019. 💗
I meaaan I've got paddle shifters on my a3 lol
Is the display not touch screen?
No touch
Who would buy this?? You could get the Lincoln Mkz reserve II with way more features,more horsepower, storage , and better Materials for the same price.
Premium fuel is not required for the Quattro
The car in the video has Quattro AWD and the fuel door says you only need 87 octane which is regular and Audi’s website says the same thing regular is the requirement NOT premium
Alex Coutinho what about the FWD A3? Should I put premium in?
Rich's Rant Radio Show for both fwd and awd, regular is fine
Hyundai elantra sport 2019 and toyota corolla sedan 2019 and kia forte sportage rio and jeep wrangler 2019
hi guys ... what car do u owned
Hey! We own a Toyota Camry and Hyundai Elantra
@@CarConfections tnx for reply'ng me ;) is camry better than honda civic ??
@@tinoperz8707 well in some ways, yes. But the Civic is a fantastic car!
@@CarConfections tnx brother ... big thum;bs up to all your reviews ...
@@tinoperz8707 Thanks, pal!
Any comparison to Audi is, in my opinion quite frankly ridiculous. Despite its lightly priced A3 , I find Audi in all its offerings superior to any pathetic competitor attempting to dilute their market. They make not cars but art. Also theyre involved with the historically legendary Volkswagen
Any good ? You must insane to write that in your title. At that price tag it should be good...
1:46 entry level Audi is the A1 not the A3
No ventilated seats. Major fail.
Especially since you can get them on a Jetta
But, it is the cheapest Audi I believe and only the luxury Jetta has ventilated seats, but whatever I'm a Acura fan.
Resale for this car makes it cheap 2019 models can be found for 25000 these are like lowest trim
Arssh Bajpai very true. A good used buy especially if it’s a CPO. Of course you can find a top trim A3 for $25,000-$30,000 Canadian, or a komfort Quattro trim(base) for under $20,000 Canadian with both 40-50,000 kms. I found a CPO S3 for $40,000 Canadian with 10,000 kms yesterday.
the interior is UNACCEPTABLE. PERIOD!
and why is that exactly? minimalism isn't really an acquired taste and as long as the interior quality is up there, having the uncluttered dash is a driver's haven
all cheap plastic, and outdated design
@@kevinnguyen9348 cheap plastic? you've clearly never been in an audi made after 2015. The diamond cut knobs are a delight, soft touch dash and the centre console is laid out well. some hard plastics are forgiven at that price range.
step into a merc e class and you'll realize the difference. yes the quality is better overall but god damn there are too many buttons and screens EVERYWHERE. completely distracts you from the drive (which isn't nice to begin with). the hazard light is placed away and hidden near the passenger's!
I'll take 'outdated' over bad design any day. Consider a mustang or merc if you're that into new things
?
First
Congrats! You got it!

The
Standards are all wrong.
Overpriced.
There's nothing wrong with a Volkswagen, but Audi is a Volkswagen. Too much money for what it is.
