May I suggest that you guys but a decibel meter and drive showing us how much noise there is?
Also, I miss a good handling test like with a slalom and measuring how long it takes the car to stop and things like that.
Thanks.
RUclips did you dirty with this one, video isnt showing up in the subscriptions feed
Same for me, it's on my home page but not my sub feed 😢
These prices are absurde for "non hot hatch" versions of a compact car ...
Yeah crazy times we live in.
And reliability is *
I wished they made more simple cars for a fair price. Without too much useless electronics.
@@luca_rr4660buy a dacia then
Just buy a Focus if you can't cut it
I don't get why every car journalist has a dislike towards fake exhausts. Personally I think it looks better with than without them.
Pack mentality
I’d definitely pick the A3 over the merc
Really good review, thanks
Nice comparison
Wish A4 had a design of A3, which I find the best-looking Audi today.
This is a perfect case where personal preference makes or breaks the car. I prefer the 'cleaner' less flashy interior of the Audi. The material feel of the Mercedes is better is some cases, but then the way things are put together isn't the same as they are in the Audi.
I got used to the assistance system usage in the Audi pretty quick, same for the Mercedes. Infotainment, especially navigation, I prefer the Audi.
Yep defo personal preference is important here
I found the actual build quality of the A class isn’t a patch on the A3, while some materials are plusher in the Merc, the fit and finish was awful in places. It’s rather noisy and uncomfortable compared to the A3 on the move.
I can confirm that. No car Reviewer mentions the poor material quality and noise of the current A and C Class. For that price awful cars.
@@jackpearson3228well, have you noticed that in a 20 minutes review the average RUclipsr spends like 12 minutes speaking about screens, 3 about looks, 4 about extras and if you get lucky, he drives it a bit in the time they have left.
Some reviews even feel like if they were written without the person even being inside the car, almost as if the person just looked at it online.
The Koreans have better bang for buck with their cars right now
100% can confirm this, I've had 11 warranty claims over 4 garage visits for my 2020 A-Class regarding interior quality. Parts have come loose, rattling door, dashboard, seatbelt clip, paneling etc. They don't use metal screws and glue anymore, they only use plastic clips to hold the interior together due to cost cutting.
As an owner of 2023 A3 8Y s line, we dont have 48 mild hybrid in malaysia but we got fine nappa leather for the package.
AJ you should learn from Thomas how to do the Autogefühl fake exhaust police whistle. 😄
Hehe

Great comparison review. I feel the premium cars of today need to up their game as all the gizmos and technology can be found now in most newish mainstream cars. My own thoughts are that manufactured cars from Japan are taking the lead both in design, futuristic tech and renown reliability.
The A3 simply does not feel good enough in terms of interior quality to justify its price. The previous generation A3 (from 2012 to 2020) had a much higher quality interior with better materials and better fit and finish. I don't understand why Audi has stepped down from its leadership position, particularly as Korean (and now also Chinese) cars have more and more premium interiors with every new model year.
Dieselgate and massive investments in their electric models (which don't sell well) caused a drop in quality of the VAG cars
But it's better than the quality you find inside the Merc
@@TaktikalThruTechnikz Do not forget the "recycled plastic" they use now, which feels half as durable as normal plastic.
As an owner of a new A3 I'm surprised you didn't mention the side assist option on the press car (blind spot warning system - lights on the mirrors). For me, one of the must have options. Once drove on a misty rainy night on a highway and was really glad the side assist warned me about a high speeding vehicle coming up and passing me by surprise which I didn't notice in the mirrors at all when I wanted to switch lane.
as an owner of 2017 8Y ... i have also the blind spot assist.... it is 100000% MUST.... also the cross traffic when going reverse from parking!!!
For Drivers: AUDI
For BlingBling: MB
As a German driving on Autobahn 200 every day there is NO question what I DO prefer...😉
either Porsche or VW?😉
German too. It’s the MB.
@@donjohn2239 That's what I was waiting for 😆
Small car comparison - corsa vs clio (with diesel engine)
Can we see an autogefuhl review of the new Toyota Landcruiser anytime soon? Thank you!
Do MINI normal one NOT cooper S please
Nice🇸🇦
I've owned both, the A class is much better in terms of quality fit and feel. It's also more modern in my opinion. I've had my new mercedes less than 1 month so time will tell
Thanks for the feedback!
Youre joking right. Everythinf is squeeking
wtf im from germany, heidelberg watching the video, he sais "what a bout this cool shooting location" and after the second look i realize its heidelberg haha
I’ve checked both of these and found the Audi full of plastic. The Merc interior is far superior and feels more value for money. The glass roof is a must have. What was not tested was the “digital assistant”. I don’t know the Audi one but the Mercedes assistant is incredible. Natural language and understands simple commands plus integrates well with the iPhone
Even my old Golf 5 GT sport tsi with only 140 HP seems much much faster than both of these two. Do you really have to scale up to RS or GTI versions to get any kind of excitement today? It really seems everything is about tech which does not interest me at all when it comes to cars
Facelifted A-class vs current A3
Need rematch after 2024 A3 facelift released
15th of May I heard the new (facelifted) A3 has premier.
A3 interior is not he S-line, only the exterior
Audi looks and feels more solid, i had a A-class assembled in Mexico for the U.S market and it was very dissapointment with build quality..
But cheaper also 🤷♂️
Where is Thomas?!
In most other videos :)
Beautiful Audi...
Great review. Remove the badge and Audi is objectively the better car all around. Looks better drives better.
Cheers!
Assuming that Mercedes is more premium than Audi. Which, by the way, it isn't.
Uu what in the world is going on with the prices .. unbelivable...😮 And soon no one will afford to buy one...🤦
Did we run the same car? Class A is noisier and squeaky car. Audi feel super solid in comparison.
On a more personal note, ergonomic / seat are better in audi.
Cry more
Why can't we get these cool cars in the USA?
2 liter turbo’s around 200hp not that punchy…hmmm. My BMW 118i already feels punchy with 140hp…
I think he was in Confort where the car accelerates fast without throwing you around. Quite good if having small children since they won’t throw up. He should have tested in Dynamic
How about BMW series 1? How it’s compared with its rivals? It should also have been part of this review.
Cant always make all segment cars in one video
Got a 1 Series here: ruclips.net/video/jv-IxvKtJ6U/видео.html
I would go with the A3 even if it was worse, just cause the Mercedes interiour looks really really bad. One of the worst designs I have seen from them.
I like both cars but would take the mercedes. more elegant and the interior looks better. the volume control in the audi sucks.
The previous Gen A3 had better interior build and material quality. I was very disappointed with the materials used in the new A3. However, it is at least solid. The A Class on the other hand feels like it was put together with liquid glue. So flimsy and cheaply.
True, I agree with both statements
Audi A3 with closed eyes.......
Well, that led ambient lighting on the Audi is something I would have paid for and would thought it would look awesome but after watching your video, it just looks rubbish.
Like something you would get in a tricked out 1996 Honda Civic, owned by a 40yo that still works at a McDonald's, flipping burgers.
Edit: and just to clarify, i would get the Audi, just without the smbient light. I reslly dislike the Mercedes interior.
Not good
Good review and comparison. TIP: "Rear" is pronounced as "fear" and "hear" not "rare" or "bear" .. sorry ..
Audi without hésitation...
60.000 euros lol.
Mercedes, for me 👌, the trouble is old A3's are drug dealers ride of choice & I can't shake that image even with a new A3.
Old Audi A3 are always a favourite of drug dealers/shoplifters, If you ever watch Police Interceptors 🚔 you know what I mean.
dont care about spec and fancy stuff. what drives better? faster? what handles better? just be straight forwards you car reviewers all the same its a joke. i mean i look on the website to see what the car comes with. what i cant do is drive them or sit and test what seats are more comfortable so i have to rely on you guys and the feedback is pathetic 😂
Very biased and poor review. Some of the Audi functions that are actually great (e.g. physical button for lane keep assist etc ) are unnecessarily criticized. It's completely nonsense in my opinion.
Just because you have a different opinion on some things doesnt mean the review is biased or poor
For me e.g., I prefer the controls in the Audi. AJ prefers them in the Merc, fair enough. Also shows me that my opinion is not universal
This is the first time I commented with
using the word "nonsense" for an aspect in your reviews. I totally love them and find them objective. You do the most detailed reviews IMO.
But this one didn't seem so to me.That's also purely my personal opinion on this singular case. Please don't consider it as my general opinion.
Moreover, this physical button thing in cars is globally appreciated by a big majority of people all around the world (based on forums, RUclips, reviews etc.)
Yeah I agree. What AJ meant by that was also not the physical vs capacitive, but rather that the cruise control is quicker set than in the Audi
