Glad to finally see a video of the Edition 1 on RUclips, I ordered mine in Daytona Grey recently, with any luck I’ll have it before the end of the year!
@@Riz1786 Hi Riz, I got it back in November and I’m loving it so far. I went from a 2011 A1 to this A3 so it felt like a massive jump in terms of technology and just convenience. Like I’d never had a car with cruise control, lane assist etc. driving the car just feels so effortless and fun. Looks even better in person than it does on video too, so really pleased with it so far.
@@19Dev98 that's going to be me sysing the same as for me it's a big jump having a 10 year old seat Leon lol! Hoping to go for the daytona grey Ed 1 35 tfsi, manual, comfort and sound pack WITH extras electric Boot, sunroof, advanced key,!!! It's everything I want lol did yours have that and the puddle lights at night under doors?
@@Riz1786 I think I’ve got everything except comfort and sound pack! But aye it’s crazy all the wee things that you didn’t know you needed until you’ve got them. Heated seats are class, 3-way lumbar support is mega comfy as well. Really like the virtual cockpit too. Even wee styling features like the ambient lighting and stuff like that, wee things I wouldn’t of even considered in my old car yet I’ll be sitting in the traffic lights in the A3 giving it “this is the coolest thing ever”. I think you’ll love the car mate, especially if your previous car is getting on in age!
Great review of this amazing car! You highlighted all of it’s beautiful features really well. I’ll be getting my Edition 1 A3 very soon! For me, this car will be my daily for a long time, don’t know how Audi could improve it anymore than they’ve done already. Thanks for the quality content man.
I’m a Audi fan and when the A3 first came out I wasn’t a fan but with this version it looks so mean now I’m excited about the rs3 which they need to make even meaner. I would take this over the a class without a doubt
Two questions... do you need to have the advanced key to be able to get all the info you showed on the Audi app? Also, it would be nice if you could talk a bit more about the B&O sound system and perhaps show us the different audio settings. Many thanks!
LewisB Thanks. I’m asking because I currently own a 2017 A4 (B9) without advanced key, and I can’t do much with the app other than sending addresses to the sat nav. For instance, I can’t lock/unlock doors or close windows, or anything else car related. But there’s a note to “contact the Audi partner to be registered as the owner of the vehicle to unlock more features”. I’m wondering if I will experience the same when the A3 arrives. Thanks again, I really enjoyed the videos and I can’t wait to have my Edition 1 too! November still feels so far away ... :-)
fabian78 you will love it👍🏽... I think with the 2017 A4 you need technology package with it! Or maybe the model year is too old! The new one will have it though
I clicked through the options on Audi and ended up with a non S-line, glacier white with the black optics trim, evolution pkg, 18 in rims, B&O sound, ambient interior light, tinted windows, s-tronic, 1.5 tfsi, all adding up to 39keuro. Ouch. I paid 30keuro for my 2017 A3 2.0 Tfsi quattro s-tronic s-line when I bought it new.
well what do i get wrong here? the S3 has 228 kW (310 PS) and its not a Diesel.... why does yours say S on it when its only a normal A3 with one of those weaker engines? Nice real life walkaround mate! and still a fucking good looking car even if the exhausts are fake haha. That would not be something i want though.
Nice video! Good to see the edit on 1 in the flesh as I ordered mine in turbo blue blind, without seeing it! This video has got me licking my lips now and really looking forward to getting the car! One question, can you run CarPlay without having it connected via cable? I’ve got the wireless charging box option coming so it seems daft if Audi haven’t enabled wireless CarPlay to go with this option? Thanks
Love it! waiting for a 40TFSI to get one (but will they ever make it??), the 1.5 is ok but I am afraid of the DRY clutch DSG system as far as reliablity... (in audi they say that the 1.5 has a wet clutch system but I believe is the same DRY system as the 1.5 DSG on the golf 8!)
Picking up a white edition 1 a3 saloon on March 1st so it has a 21 plate on it. Is the reverse camera standard or is that an option? Can't even test drive a car at the moment. So frustrating
Quality review mate. Got more from this than most of the mainstream bigwig videos. Inspired me to change my vehicle order. One bit I can't find info on anywhere - my current S3 has CD/DVD and SD card readers in the glovebox. Do the 2021 versions have too?
With the Edition 1, does it come w the feature where you can unlock the car w the contactless feature on your mobile? And I've seen some features where you can unlock the boot by just swiping your foot under the back of the car?
I like PCP! Make sure to check out my new channel ‘viewsoflb’ and also if you need help buying a new car message me on @supply.drive on instagram👍 i will help you out👌
Liking the A3 Beast!! Looks mean and great tech features, new to channel impressed!!! What’s the tech like with the driverless tech and lane assist? Thanks
Hi Lewis, Great review!! Loved it! I’m about to purchase a new A3( my first:-) ). Can you make a shot movie on the Sound System? Is it worth it to upgrade to B&O speakers? How Meny speakers comes on the B&O? Where are they located? Is there additional software on the Audi MMI? Thanks a lot! Oren
Hi mate, I have another couple of questions if you don’t mind? Does the steering wheel lock automatically? It’s a feature I have on the A4 and I’m curious to know if they’ve fitted it on the A3 as well. Do you have entry lights on the rear doors? I’m wondering if it’s possible to fit those with the 4 rings on rear doors too. Many thanks
Amazing car, hope you enjoy! Your are incorrect with the edition 1 spec replacing the black edition. When a new model launches, ie. new Q3 sportback, Audi replace the black edition with edition 1 (1st edition) spec but this is only up until the first few production finishes. You will now see on the Audi Configurator, they have removed edition 1 and it has not gone back to being known as black edition.
Standard mate, no option on the seats, there isn’t much you can spec up from the base model, sunroof, wireless charge, sound system and reverse cameras is about it. Enhanced driver assist but that most come with comfort and sound pack
3 years into my PCP with a TTS and considering swapping into one of these (trying to be sensible 😂) My only fear is I'd miss the power and fun of the TTS. Love the interior though
@@ViewsOfLB1 hi there how is your A3 going I am going to order one in a weeks time the same as yours love it is it good as it looks. Getting one on motability is it worth getting then was going for bmw 1 series. Till I seen yours
@@ViewsOfLB1 Also join facebook.com/groups/541127263272414?ref=pages_group_cta so you could upload some more photos of this really cool A3, which be almost the same like my but RHD.
Great video thanks Lewis ...look forward to the driving review now :) and hope to get mine in November ...I went for the Comfort and Sound Pack the Powered bootlid and the Advanced Key with the Panoramic Sunroof in Daytona Grey ...the wheels look really nice !
Am looking for a new car this does seem perfect, the interior is amazing looks like a urus with a audi badge 😂 but I'd probably spec mine like yours a £37,000 isn't cheap
Very nice car but i would expect more premium materials in the interior, more leather instead of plastic for that price. 37k is a lot of money, i just bought an A7 55 TFSI here in Germany a few months ago with 30.000 Miles for 44.000€ (around 39.000 Pounds) and the materials inside the car are just out of this world. But your A3 is still a very nice car
@@ViewsOfLB1 Just read my comment again, sorry if my point came across like I was having a go at you! What I meant is that it's crazy that they've been making those keys for so long and yet it's taken them this long to spread it to the A3. Anyway, awesome car, just the configuration I want to get for my next car I think, loving the new body lines!
Thats one Hello of a spec for an Audi A3 👌🏽
Your literally the first with this vehicle on RUclips bro enough respect!
All Eyez On Me appreciated!
this guy honestly gives much better reviews than big channels
Glad to finally see a video of the Edition 1 on RUclips, I ordered mine in Daytona Grey recently, with any luck I’ll have it before the end of the year!

Good review normally they miss out on the pan roof but you mentioned it first 💯
Did you get ur audi how is it
@@Riz1786 yeah I got it mate, been driving it for 5 months now. It’s an awesome car, had loads of compliments and no problems with it at all.
how you getting on with it?
That’s a really nice looking car. Very impressed with the new style. Good review 👍🏻
Excellent Lewis, congratulations. Could you make a video on the matrix LED during night using a gopro or dashcam. Would love to see it.
Tan Huynh this is inbound! Thanks for the kind words lad🙌🏽
Video quality improved by 100000, mental
Man knows how to spec a car✅ 😍😍😍😍
I’d love to see a video on that Golf GTI in the background at some point. What a lovely car🤩
Raangha same. Looks like a naughty motor
Thanks because its yours lad
Personally I think that s3 I see behind it is better 😏
That car is absolutely stunning, i have a black 14 plate A3 and will be upgrading to this. Thanks for the vid!
Video quality gets better and better! Great vid and location👏🏽
Just waiting on my Navarra Blue Edition 1 being delivered. Cant wait. The black is lovely.
Big man please upload a driving video if you can do a manual launch control Im looking to order it in the Daytona grey bro
I’m a Audi fan and when the A3 first came out I wasn’t a fan but with this version it looks so mean now I’m excited about the rs3 which they need to make even meaner. I would take this over the a class without a doubt
First i've seen of this, great job to you & the cameraman
What do you guys think of an s3 2021 nardo grey with the black badge package? I’m thinking of getting it.
Chaos
Hey, unrelated but what watch are you wearing? Looks great!
Rolex Datejust II blue face! Thanks!!!!
The Algorithm brought me here. Great video! Just get a lavelier or similar mic because at times sound is bad. Keep the great work!

Great car is the panoramic roof an add on and what did it cost thanks
Interior is stunning. Those seats!!!
Hi great video does this car have the mild hybrid system? We have just ordered an edition 1 can wait.
Good review mate. You covered it well
🙏
Is Apple Carplay only accessable through cable or can you do it wireless?
FlaiR SWE not at the moment!
You can buy wireless add on £145
Nice work man - thinking of speccing the bang and olufsen - you reckon its really worth it?
B&O is my favourite option lol
What car have you this Audi or the Bmw m 135i?
I don’t particularly like Audi’s (Mercedes and bmw man myself) but that is one nice looking car! Is it still 150bhp? Does it feel enough?
Yes 150bhp! With it being diesel it has some good mid range pull! It is quick enough!
Are black wheels ever available for the A3? You can get them for the RSQ3. Amazing video my friend.
Not as of yet! Have to get them done after!
Which watch is that is real question?
Thanks for the great review Lewis, I'm thinking of downsizing from A5 S Line to A3 Edition 1 and that's been great coverage of some of the features.
Appreciate the kind words!
Ambient lights standard ?
What watch is that mate?
I’ve got an almost identical spec one on order and this video has made me so excited and even more impatient! 😍
Chris what did you go for, hVe you got it and how is it
Can u buy me one too
Lovely looking motor the new A3. Can’t WAIT To see the RS3 😮
Good review, can you please review the stereo of this, very interested in stereo sound quality of this car...
What about the headroom restriction with the sunroof?
I am about 6 feet 5 inches tall. Should I avoid that extra?
I clicked through the options on Audi and ended up with a non S-line, glacier white with the black optics trim, evolution pkg, 18 in rims, B&O sound, ambient interior light, tinted windows, s-tronic, 1.5 tfsi, all adding up to 39keuro. Ouch. I paid 30keuro for my 2017 A3 2.0 Tfsi quattro s-tronic s-line when I bought it new.
Do you find that the 35 TFSI I quick enough mate ?
The bhp isn't all that compared to the 1.4 A class at 161bhp
Has it got paddles on the steering wheel?
Did u pay extra for the ambient lighting mate or is that standard in the edition 1?
Wow I never realised the Audi A3 sports back, you can add a panaromic sunroof in this car.
Loving the new A3! Can't wait for the new S3/RS3 to come out too👍🏼
Does the Edition 1 include a tracker on the Audi App?
well what do i get wrong here? the S3 has 228 kW (310 PS) and its not a Diesel.... why does yours say S on it when its only a normal A3 with one of those weaker engines? Nice real life walkaround mate! and still a fucking good looking car even if the exhausts are fake haha. That would not be something i want though.

No wireless carplay atm!
LewisB Boo to Audi for that! What’s point of a wireless charging box but can’t run CarPlay without a wired connection? Hopefully they’ll fix that
Love it! waiting for a 40TFSI to get one (but will they ever make it??), the 1.5 is ok but I am afraid of the DRY clutch DSG system as far as reliablity... (in audi they say that the 1.5 has a wet clutch system but I believe is the same DRY system as the 1.5 DSG on the golf 8!)

Having test driven the sline and a 1 series. The 1 series build quality is so much better.
I tried finding this exact spec on audi website but the one on their shows the edition 1 but without a panoramic roof.
Thank you very much for the video. There's one month left before I get one exactly like yours. Ains
Quality review mate. Got more from this than most of the mainstream bigwig videos. Inspired me to change my vehicle order. One bit I can't find info on anywhere - my current S3 has CD/DVD and SD card readers in the glovebox. Do the 2021 versions have too?
What is a CD? What is a DVD? Yesteryear things?

Nice car when’s the test drive bro
Next week bro
LewisB ordered one like yours same specs..full works can’t wait
How is the power? Waiting on my 1.5L Petrol and just wondering if itll need a remap straight off the bat 😅
Nippy enough but depends how you drive!
With the Edition 1, does it come w the feature where you can unlock the car w the contactless feature on your mobile? And I've seen some features where you can unlock the boot by just swiping your foot under the back of the car?
Do you recommend buying or leasing?

What's the difference between edition 1, s line and sportback?
Different trim levels, Edition 1 > s-line > SE... the higher the trim level the more standard equipment you will get! Check out the audi configurator!
Great review. All the best!
Very good explanation....I ordered this year the same car.

Im looking to get one of these for a first car. Im 18 and have a decent insurance quote for it what do you reckon ?
Take a reg off a second hand one and put it in a comparison site
Does anyone know if the edition 1 with comfort and sound pack includes the wireless charging dock ????

Thanks very much I appreciate the response. Perfect.
I wish they made this the 3 doors hot hatch like the scirocco.
Looks sick 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾
You weren't interested in the S3?
will be doing a lot of mileage! Think next time S3 is the way to go! Needed the car fairly quickly and the wait time was too long on the S3
What pack does the park assist and rear camera come with?
Comfort and sound
Hello! Could you be so kind to tell me what is the marking of the transmission box on Audi S3 - DQ381 or DQ500?
