This guys voice is my life

[@petshopb]

I have the same car with 1.4 150hp engine. Love it. Very smooth and comfortable ride. Although i miss my sport cars (TT and Mini)

[@afrosamuraiwarrior]

Does it have auto folding side mirrors?

[@petshopb]

@@afrosamuraiwarrior unfortunately no :(

[@afrosamuraiwarrior]

@@petshopb OK so which audi car has that?

[@Tadeadly]

Well-detailed review! awesome job and thanks a lot!

[@McKeelers]

Well done, very informative video and thanks for the in depth knowledge of the car.

[@davidleighton9842]

Great review mate, well informed

[@WeLookToIntent]

Great tour. Taught me a lot about my new ride 😊

[@alexlovesmac]

Thanks for watching! Glad I could help. =)

[@afrosamuraiwarrior]

@@alexlovesmac does it have a device to close the side mirrors together?

[@GeordiLaForgery]

Great work very helpful

[@TheT0nedude]

The key looks like something you'll get arrested for carrying on a Saturday night...XD

[@e.e121]

We like to hear the thud of the door shutting with the window UP. Sounds crappy when it's down

[@speedycarlos3153]

Yesss you have listened to me

[@gilberttakyi3265]

Thank you for the review

[@sanjaygandhi8504]

Comprehensive video, shame car wasn't washed beforehand but cheers! PS Didn't cover cruise control feature

[@alexlovesmac]

I only wash the cars when possible. This car doesn't have cruise control.

[@TheHerot1234]

Thank you for doing this review ,I was going to ask you to do it and well my wish has come true ,keep up the good work.

[@alexlovesmac]

+The King Thanks for watching!

[@afrosamuraiwarrior]

@@alexlovesmac also does the fan work even if you turn the engine on or off?

[@mixchemicalify]

How are the seats when compared to the volvo v40 which I see that you own. The seats in the volvo look and feel very comfortable (I've tried them myself) but the ones in the audi look very unsupportive and not as comfortable (haven't been able to try them out) care to help me out with your impressions?

[@waelg6423]

Nice 👍👍👍

[@rachelward4310]

i’m sure no one will see this but if you do… how do you do a hill start in this car with no hill assist? does it hold you on a hill for a few seconds or do you just have to have your foot on the break to turn off the electric handbrake and go from there?

[@zulekhaahmedr41]

Same that happened to me the auto start on this car while on the hill it's so hard and when I pull the brake up and then press the gas pedal it releases the brake electronic it self which stalls the car sometimes when ever I turn that feature off it never turns off

[@martinmalak542]

does this car have better standard speakers than VW golf mk7? In terms of clarity and bass

[@brunoferreira3940]

Is it just me or the quality of the sits just don't feel very high quality on the SE models?

[@bl00dra1nn]

+Bruno Ferreira well, you can't expect much from cloth seats anyway

[@garoarabian3017]

Wish I could buy this car in Australia. Can't find a manual transmission

[@pr4670]

What do them 3 symbols mean when you start the car up?

[@bernardgregory2373]

No heated seats 2014 diesel sports Back 1.6

[@dominiccook12]

My car! Except I have the 3 door and it's a Sport model.

[@alexlovesmac]

+dominiccook21 Nice! Exact same engine as well?

[@dominiccook12]

+alexlovesmac same engine, so quiet and economical, plenty fast enough as well. Having watched the video this car has the upgraded mmi system and mine doesn't.

[@itonzambanzamba8812]

I have the same model but saloon version. No usb port. I can't use android auto, no sat nav installed...

[@rayyan2k21]

How much did you pay for it

[@nomadml9716]

clean the car inside and outside before a video review maybe next time? otherwise good job.

[@alexlovesmac]

Thanks for watching. I only clean the car when possible.

[@TheHerot1234]

If You get the time Could you do a Golf GTD review 2015/2014 model?

[@alexlovesmac]

+The King Will try.

[@TheHerot1234]

+alexlovesmac Okay thank you.

[@joshkroenke7693]

Beautiful car but it’s absolutely filthy, (argh)! This covers up seeing it’s true beauty and unfortunately spoils your review... However, thanks for your comprehensive tour.

[@Rap4Life51]

Do the headlights automatically turn on when you start the engine, and turn off when you turn off the engine? Or do you have to do it manually trough the button? 🙃

[@itonzambanzamba8812]

It does it automatically... what do you wanna tell me? Maybe a good news 😁😁🤗🤗

[@vincentkc6033]

wow what a boring car....great review

[@alexlovesmac]

+Vincent Tan Thank you for watching!

[@killieblues]

It's not a boring car. I have the 2.0 TDi. It's just the presentation in this video that is boring. Over half an hour for a review?!

[@alexlovesmac]

It's more of a tour as per the title, not a review, hence the length. I have as much information of the car as possible in the video, so if the car has less features, the shorter the video, and if it has more features, the longer the video.

[@sdogsdog9136]

Vincent KC I have a 1.8 TFSI Quattro S Line and I beat most hot hatches in a drag race. :-)
