2016 Audi A3 2.0t Quattro short review|Launch Control

Short Review of the new 2016 Audi A3, including a description of how to perform launch control.

[@cdubzzz]

The fact you said you can fit your two kids in the back sold me on this car! Thanks for the vid!

[@bssjackson]

Glad it helped! It's a tight squeeze with 2 car seats but works for sure. Thought about the a4 because it was a little bigger but really wanted the dsg transmission.

[@jasongtivr6]

cdubzzz I can fit my 14yr old, 11, and 5yr old in the back and it's really not bad 👍🏽, and two in the trunk if need be. I wanted an eleven sec sedan. The new A3 2.0t Quattro is the best place to start. For three more grand worth of mods will get you there

I've got the 2016 A3 Premium 2.0T quattro with the navigation plus package and sport suspension. I have not tried the launch control yet but I will soon. This car is very quick. There is another video on here where the driver gets on it. It handles great. Everything Brad says is right on. I have two kids (12 and 10) and they fit perfect in the back. They love the mobile wifi hotspot. Road trips just got quite. Excellent MPG this car is great.

It’s been 6 years. How’s the reliability been?

[@chuyi2165]

" as long as I can fit my kids in here, that's good' hahaha

[@MudPeppers]

good job on the video. thanks!

[@HeliRy]

Love my 2016 A3. And now that I know it has a Launch Mode.... I love it even more lol. Funny, Audi doesn't seem to like to advertise it.

[@Portapottypossum]

HeliRy how’s the car? I’m looking to get one for my first car looking for one under 20k

[@777Edub]

Awesome video, i love how you said "only" 20 mph over, thats reckless man lol but i feel with what you said about the S3 I was looking at getting that and it is way to much. I think the A3 quattro will be powerful enough. Cant wait to see your update video.

[@bssjackson]

I drove a 2015 S3 and it was pretty amazing just so much money. The A3 Quattro is for sure fast enough for me. Thanks for the comment!

[@ogvendetta8305]

Hey Brad. The car looks really interesting from your video. Could you do a walk around video for the exterior and cargo space?

[@ans05]

good review!! any updates or problems with the car? looking at a new 2016...like 11g off sticker!

[@rodneywhite5755]

I just got a 15' A3 and love it! Seen you are close do you still have the car?

[@vanz75]

Fantastic car

[@P-Dub206]

Good video man. I'd like the S3 over the A3 simply because by the time I'm done specing the A3 I want I might as well get a "stripper" S3 as the price difference really isn't that much. That being said I'd be happy with an A3 too.

[@lukebailey4490]

Can this car run on regular gas?

[@zestyapple360]

Hey great video! I am actually planning on leasing this car as well in the next few months. I was wondering if you don't mind me asking. Could you tell me what model you have exactly, an how much you pay monthly with how much you put down? I am really trying to get an idea an it's hard to find on the web so far. Thanks a lot!

[@bssjackson]

Thanks for watching. This is the A3 2.0t premium. My lease I believe is 375 a month or so. However I had some equity in my trade.

[@zestyapple360]

+Brad Jackson Thanks for the reply! I plan on leaving about 4K or 5k down. I'm hoping to pay around $270 or $300. I think that would be great for the 2.0, such a nice car!

[@Norasbestyoutubechannel781]

@@zestyapple360 that much down on a lease is a complete waste of money. Dealers love ppl like u

[@jasongtivr6]

I Thought the a3 launched at 2 1/2rpm. And yes that seems low but nice to see it's factory set at 3 1/4 it looked like. I just got the 2017 and still in the break in stage, so I haven't launched it yet.

[@bssjackson]

Jason Kellogg it will go to 3 with the traction control off. Otherwise it revs at 2. Sorry to say I have gotten rid of the Audi:(. I like the looks of the 17 better though congrats

[@TheKing24game]

Does this A3 really have a sport mode? I thought the S just meant shift mode for manual.

[@dextano3333]

Yup, D/S stand for Dynamic (Engine is geared for smooth shifts) and Sport (Use the engine for max power). Tiptronic mode is the "Manual" mode, you have to jam the shifter to the right from D/S in order to engage it. Then you can use the shifter to go up/down gear by pushing forward/backward respectively.

[@youngrios]

WHY NO PADDLES?

[@CSGOKoKo]

does anyone know how to update this mmi and the dashboard software , the left and right bottom in the steering wheel are useless for me nothing to be used on

[@Portapottypossum]

Looking to get one of these for my first car! At under 20k

[@mason-dy6ls]

Did you end up getting it?

[@drilonrrahimi5617]

Just bought a 2016 a3 2.0 today

[@sidwadhwa3020]

Is it twin turbo ??

[@mason-dy6ls]

@@sidwadhwa3020 single turbo

[@thenick516]

Nice car and nice video but that's not exactly "launch control. That's holding the break and revving the engine before you take off. You can do that in a prius lol. Launch control is an actual feature in the settings on newer sports cars that you can adjust to customize the way the car takes off. Look up launch control on the challengers and chargers, that's actual launch control. You're just holding the break longer when you accelerate lol

[@Ryder1K]

This is launch control bud, or else the car would try to move forward

[@AlwaysOmni]

U should get back into the car review business. Not a bad review at all
