I know you saw the review on Matt's channel but I wanted to say that this is one of the reviews that lead me to go out and test drive / buy the car. I knew that I didn't want to spend 40k to get a smaller luxury car that was able to check off the boxes of all of the little options people often think are necessary-- but you said it's a great car even without those just by the way it feels and the way it drives. I'm very happy with the car and the only options I have are 2.0t, nav, cold weather, and paint, and it's a blast and feels great. Keep reviewing cars and I'll keep watching.

Great review Nick! I love the 3D effect when you displayed the specs! These are good little cars, I think the biggest downfall is that the center stack looks kinda plain on the inside. It's a clean interior design though for sure. I'm one of those people that loves the MB CLA and that would be my choice I think if I wanted a luxury 4 door in this price range. I prefer the interior and exterior of it over the others. I do love the Audi nav screen with google earth though, looks so slick. And it's always great to see the use of gorilla to measure trunk space haha. It sounds like you had to talk a decent bit louder when on the highway. Was the road noise bad at highway speeds? It's nice to hear that Audi didn't punish people too much if you stick with the base model, that's refreshing. Keep the great reviews coming Nick!

I live in Chicago and had a 2.0 VW Beetle Turbo before getting this car. I love the 1.8 A3. It's a half second slower than the Beetle, but I never needed that speed in the first place. There's not much opportunity to use that speed in the city, and I would just get frustrated wanting to use it. The 1.8 A3 is almost as fast, but the suspension is so much more comfortable. The Beetle had very stiff suspension, which is fun for a while. I guess I just grew up.

The Audi grille is important! Other companies have signature grilles with more history. Audi had to develop its symbolic identity more consciously. The result has become so critical to the company’s identity that it has trademarked the word *“Singleframe”* for it's car grille. Therfore don't force change, it will come with evolution!

Nick - I have been looking at a lot of different reviews of cars and happened upon this one you made. You did a great job, the camera work and details are adroit and informative. The gorilla helps understand scale, and your explanation of the global costs informative. That being said, I would add that the business model you mentioned for the US may not necessarily work as well if they had to keep all those models and parts on hand. If you're going to stick with the volume widget model, limiting the number of widgets makes sense. Anyway, you did a really good job and I could probably talk with you for hours.

This is a great car. I just got the A3 TDI Prestige trim. It's considerably slower than the 2.0 TFSI variant (only 150hp vs 220hp), and even slightly slower than the 1.8 TFSI, but because of its torque it doesn't feel like it. I've taken mine through a couple of canyons here in LA, and this thing loves those corners. That being said, I wish this was more of a liftback _a la_ the A7 rather than a sedan or hatchback. I think the A3 looks better as a sedan than a hatchback, and a liftback would preserve some of those sedan lines while allowing some of the practicality of a hatchback.

Great review, I do like the size of the A3 saloon and the build quality is great. We hired the convertible over the summer in Italy and it was amazing to be honest! However I do think you were too harsh on the CLA, we have an A200 and while I agree below the dash the plastics are a joke for a Mercedes the dash is leather covered the doors are really well made and and dash panel has a great finish on the AMG sports line. Saying that though I don't like the looks of the CLA, unlucky that you don't get the A Class in the US which I think looks great!

As of now Common man in India can't afford a luxury car because of the pricing. But with A3 I think this will change definitely. A3 is mainly introduced for Indian budget market. 22 lakh equal to 35 thousand USD. somewhat priced similar to US market.

Hey Nick! I really like your review style and your additional thoughts you share with us occasionally. The differences in pricing is a point i have been thinking about myself. Do you have any information about the number of cars bought by private owners? In germany, only 36,3 % of all cars were sold to private owners. Most (around 90 %) of the more expensive cars, like the BWM 5 or the Mercedes E or even the VW Passat are leased by companies which give them to their employees (and reduce their income to lower taxes...). The highest monthly leasing rate is often 500 Euro and you get a new car every 2-3 years. Therefore, the asking price is not the most important factor and this influences the selling price?

Personally, I have looked at both cars, and the fact they are both MQB causes me to be comparing them. The mention of the VW having cheaper interior is much less true when you compare MQB to MQB. When the Jetta and Passat are both MQB it will be a lot harder to justify the cost of the Audi on the low end.

The Mercedes CLA interior looks much better then the Audi A3.... The audio has a cheap plastic dash and the seats are flat.... I just tested a Audi a3 2.0l this weekend. The ride absorbs the bumps very well and it is quick for a 2.0l turbo. Now, after reading online, VW has 3 recalls that must be done or your vehicle can catch on fire, lose all power when you are driving and it can misfire or drive like crap. If you are looking to buy a new or used one, make sure the recalls have been fix. You do not want to be driving on the freeway at 75 and you do not have control and the vehicle catches on fire... It will not be a good day...

Pricing in different countries was interesting! I live in Sweden, according to the Audi website (audipdf.h-kan.se/archivedfiles/Audi%20A3_Sedan%20Sport.pdf) the pricing is as follows: 1.4 TFSI: $ 30 973 1.8 TFSI quattro: $ 41 062
