2021 Audi A3 Sedan Mild Hybrid 1.5 TFSI S tronic | sgCarMart Reviews

[@piggy6969]

I only watch Sgcarmart review to see the watches that they wear.. nice seamaster. =)

[@ivanng254]

I've own the latest A3 sedan for a month and I must say it's defintely a better drive than my previous similar german make of the same class. The mild hybrid system really makes the start/stop to be unnoticeable. The other same segment german makes have no mild hybrid system yet. The paddle shifters make it more engaging to drive.

[@xarain]

How’s your mileage like? I get like 8.8L/100 usually on efficiency or comfort mode

[@ivanng254]

@@xarain I drive mainly normal road on auto mode. But now I need to refill only once a month compared to twice a month for my previous car.

[@xarain]

@@ivanng254 Similar topic. What is Auto mode? I'm usually on Efficiency or Dynamic. Also do you pump 95/98/++ ? Appreciate the info. Thanks!

[@ivanng254]

@@xarain If you go into drive select, there's an auto mode considers road conditions, vehicle speed and driver behaviour to give the most 'normal' setting. I just fill up with 95. No problem!

[@xarain]

@@ivanng254 ok cool Drive safe!

[@justifyer24]

In Audis, to overtake, you can just use the S mode on the gear lever. It goes into sporty transmission mode (just like when u switched to Dynamic drive select). And then switched it back to whatever mode you were driving before. I only use drive select to fully switch my driving mood, where it will also change the steering wheel stiffness, suspensions, etc, depending on the car.

[@sgcarmartreviews]

Thanks for the info! Definitely makes it more convenient. - Jon

[@ivanng254]

Using the paddle shifters is also quite engaging.

[@FlamingWind]

Nice Omega, Jon. Good choice of the model! Nice colour of nato strap

[@edwinlum5370]

if Jon can afford James Bond's watch, he can surely achieve success in the cars he wants to get 😂

[@gabriellim2293]

Jon didn't have enough coffee this morning I think..

[@daverajsiva8185]

Success is hosting SGCM reviews 👍🏼

[@zacharylim5069]

Having own the new A3 sportback for 1 month now , it definitely drives better than its direct competitors like the 1 series and A class 。。。 Great stuff 👍🏻 Able to achieve 16km/l with 40% highway 60% traffic

[@seanloh_pinkpanther]

Alamak. Wished you had done the sportback instead. Lol. Can SgCarMart consider doing doing video with both variants (for other cars and model) in future? Nice work guys.

[@alexanderyeo3689]

damn Jon, you have good taste in your watches

[@SingaporeAquaticClips]

Very good & true introduction. And sedan over hatchback anytime.

[@Matt-cv8bp]

That’s a beautiful Omega seamaster

[@comments7335]

Funny...in Europe, US & Middle East, driving an Audi doesn't mean one is successful. It just says that you have a car. Guess it's in our Asian mentality.

[@milspecsg]

The drive select can be done from the steering wheel 🥲 via the asterisk.

[@rapier84]

This seems a significant step up from the previous A3. The last one didn't even have the center armrest in the back nor Carplay. Weird Gearknob still though 😂

[@KivaEmperor]

Build quality is a significant step down. If you try the old and new A3 back to back, the differences are even more glaring. VW turned the A3 from a very premium compact car into literally a rebadged Golf. The interior is more suitable on a Golf than an A3.

[@jansenwilder1335]

The review will be better when you highlight other cars that competes against the A3, I would bring up another European car , the Skoda Octavia which have almost the same turbo engine performance yet with a close challenge against the A3.

[@xiubinchee7383]

Can I suggest that you guys talk about the FC that you guys achieved in your days of driving the cars? We all know that the official FC in the spec sheets are always not accurate and reflective of real life driving, and FC can be a big consideration factors for some car buyers.

[@bettaman8702]

I recalled the A3 sedan in the showroom does not have chrome finishing around the grille. The model in the video has some exterior enhancement added ?

[@zy8101]

Owned the previous 8V A3 sedan with the 1.4 TFSI engine and conventional gear lever. When the gear was put in D (Normal driving mode), the gear could be shifted down once and it will engage in S (Sport mode) right away, without the need to switch the drive mode using drive select. This was one of my favourite features of the car since it allows me to overtake and pull away almost instantaneously. Just curious if if is still the same mode of operation for this new generation of A3?

[@ivanng254]

It's still the same. :)

[@philproflee6316]

Thanks for the review. I think if value for money is an important consideration, go for the Korean make KIA Stonic mild hybrid. More safety features at 2/3 of the Audi price. After all cars are depreciating assets. Honestly, we are, paying more for the brand. Features wise the Koreans are top.

[@videoupload8230]

Love the intro lol

[@alvinnzx1]

nice nttd seamaster jon

[@jeffwen3559]

Best presenter in Sgcarmart! Can you review this A3 sedan vs the Mercedes Benz A200 saloon?

[@yappyhappy3788]

went to test the sportback version, disappointing in terms of specs in SG. No ambient light, plastic-ky interior, old gen steering wheel...tested the new golf and it was so much better. Unless one wanted to buy it cos of the Audi badge, it is not worth it.

[@locktc]

To buy a car to make one feel successful sounds a bit shallow. Please, this is a good car dont undermine it.

hate the sports seats on the a3, juts out too much. Anybody else agrees/disagrees?

[@towerguarder]

What did he say at 0:25 lolol

[@benjaminvanderwoodsen9818]

what country are you live in? the price kinda expensive for a3

[@noone998]

Singapore. The most expensive place in the world to own a car and a motorbike.

[@corsxx7665]

Jon is funny hahaha

[@torrhthc4103]

169k is not a lot of money. Coe is 80k now, the baseline now is 250k and above to be considered a lot of money. So paying 169k for an entry level audi, u cant expect high end type of luxury nor performance.

[@Spiritz888]

$170,000 for a super compact car and only 150HP. No thank you... new A3 and A4 is so expensive and their older model is much more fun with 190HP. Honda civic 1.5 turbo feel like a better buy.

[@iVengeancee]

Because of coe la bro

[@Spiritz888]

@@iVengeancee no man no coe its also quite expensive. I went down to the showroom when it just launched. Tbh not very impressive. Instead of upgrading from the previous model, it's like a downgrade. Less HP, small space, mile hybrid(wtf), virtual cockpit don't interact with infotainment.(A3 model only).

[@Dyrazo]

I dont understand... 170k is fucking expensive or am i missing something? This audi costs 43k euro at most in the Netherlands, where is it 170k?

[@noone998]

@@Dyrazo Tax. Owning a car in Singapore is a luxury. Cheapest car starts from SGD 80k. It is one of the/if not the most expensive place to own a car in the world.

Jon -old already got plenty of white hair when he sits in the centre seat...

[@stubbarn]

If you want to feel slightly more successful, get a used BMW 523i for less than half the depreciation.

[@abangadikingreenontheirpmd4055]

Skoda Octavia is better

[@Lonewolfinvestor888]

It is nice but it is not a Tesla 😆

[@Gleichtritt]

thankfully not. They are least in the reliability statistics in Germany.
