2022 Audi A3 // An All-New Audi for ONLY $34,000?? ... and it's NICE!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks for watching! Please be aware that due to a mistake on Audi's website, we misspoke about the engine specs. Both FWD and Quattro versions have 2.0 Turbo engine with 201 hp and 221 lb.ft of torque. We regret the error.

[@michaele50]

so what is the point of getting the Quattro? Makes no difference ?

[@aspecreviews]

The mild hybrid system can also re-gen brake and use that captured energy to give a torque boost. It's not just stop/start.

MSRP may be $34k but with how terrible the car market is right now, you can expect dealer markups nearly 30-40%. In fact, my local Lexus has the new IS500 with a $30k dealer markup. So this $34k will more than likely be $50k.

[@jjchockey]

[@CalsVlogs]

Can you be honest with me , have you been experiencing any issues with it? I’m in the market for my second car and I’m coming from a Honda civic, so I’m used to reliability. Looking to get a 23 Audi a3 as well , just hoping it will last well over 100k miles

[@bj146651]

@@CalsVlogs i just came from a Honda Accord 08 5 speed. Honda is a great car. The Audi is a beautiful car. No problems at all. They give you 4 years 50,000 miles. If you buy a cpo it’s the end of the original warranty plus a year or 20k miles. So say if you get a 2023 but a cpo with only 5-10k miles on it. You still have the original 50k plus the 20k from cpo. Covers everything. Only like change once a year. I got a new 2023 so I still have a way to go. I heard the a3 is one of the most reliable cars. It is pricey to maintain on the 20k 40k mile mark. I got Audi care also. I would get the Audi care and gap coverage. I love my car. I’m 6’ tall and feel great in it. I would def buy an a3. You might want. A bigger car like the a4 or 5’s. But those are a little to fancy for me. I wanted a sporty car but luxury. It drives so smooth. Very fast actually so just be careful. You can get all these trims but I didn’t go to crazy. You can add stuff on also. German cars are beautiful. My wife and mother are benz people but I always loved Audi. They have very good deals rite now. I got a 4.7 apr. But def get the Audi care and gap and you’ll be set for minimum 4 years if you get a new car. Or if not get a cpo car. Get one that they used as a fleet or the workers got to try. They are literally brand new cars with only 2-5k miles on them. Only the fleet cars have that small of miles. Other cpo could be a bit more. They cover everything. I put premium gas in it. They say regular but I have the Quattro which is a turbo so a kid I know form Audi said use premium. You’ll love it. Go for it. I’m telling you.

[@bj146651]

I just leased a 21 VW Jetta SEL Premium and it has a ton of more options (heated steering, nav, heated & cooled seats, wireless charging, and wireless CarPlay) compared to the A3 in this video -- only difference I've noticed is an electronic shifter, new dialer, and a slightly better engine. The digital cockpit and nav system is identical, considering it's proprietary VW/Audi tech. The MSRP for my car was $30K compared to $34-35K with less features. I'm a bit shocked since it's comparable quality in my opinion without the Audi badge.

I don’t like material downgrades and I was excited for this car but I think there are some things that I couldn’t live with. Sadly.
