    The Audi Q3 sits in one of the most competitive segments of the car market and faces tough competition from rivals that include the Volvo XC40, BMW X1, Jaguar E-Pace and Range Rover Evoque. There are also less expensive alternatives such as the Nissan Qashqai and Renault Kadjar for buyers to consider. How does the Q3 stack up in this company and should you buy one? Ginny finds out.

    The reason the volume control is placed there is because it's not for the driver, it's for the passenger. The driver can control it from the steering wheel.

    Audi wants to extract as much money out of you as possible. With just two standard colours to choose from and any other colour costs extra. I think it is really mean for such premium and expensive car.

    • @davidorama6690
      @davidorama6690 5 лет назад +1

      CoolHandJoe88 The incremental cost of changing colour is minimal unless they’re building it in a factory with limited paint shop flexibility, adding cost changing colour, and therefore entirely there fault. Hard to imagine Audi manufacturing is so inflexible so I assume it was a sales or marketing decision. Either way it seems like an unnecessary conversation in the sales room. What’s next, paying extra for a fourth wheel?

    Just wondering if Ginny has ever bought a new car lately / where she's sourcing her information from? Haven't heard Ginny complain about the lack of free colours before yet this is common practice throughout the industry. To use the example rivals to the Q3 - Tiguan has 1 free colour - urano grey. The X1 has 1 free colour - white. The Kadjar has 1 free colour - white. The XC40 has 1 free colour - black. The Qashqai (is it really a rival?) has 1 free colour red. The E-Pace has 2 free colours - black and white. And as for the new Evoke - which five colours are free? According to Land Rover only black and white are free.
    I believe every colour with SEAT is now free (inc metallics) but of course the list prices went up to compensate - i.e. you're now paying for that once free colour!

    You highlighted things that competitors already have for less money not sure what this car has to cost so much. Avoid it.

    Stupid money for a car like that. I'm on my 3rd, previous model, Q3 which suits my needs perfectly. My current one is a very low mileage, 340bhp, RS which I got for just over £30k. Probably my best car buying decision in around 50 years behind the wheel. New models are hampered by WLTP regulations, high prices and ridiculous VED tax rates if you dare spend more than £40k on your pride and joy. I was looking forward to the new Q3.......disappointing!

    Over promises and under deliverers, not for me especially at that price.

    Lol fake vents, these new cars and the marketing tricks, older cars at least had proper simple designs.
