[@CarConfections]

Thanks for watching everyone! We have a correction to make: the base engine is also turbocharged even though it makes a lot less power

[@SM-jl5sq]

I just got the 2022 Audi q3. Msrp was 40800 dollars.

[@tylereckert9484]

What’s the actual sticker price on this one in video?

[@momoking82]

Thanks for sharing! This is by far the best-looking (compact) SUV imo! I m considering buying it as well! The only serious worry I have, which most people seem to complain about online, is the jerky transmission and lag issues at lower and higher gears. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. I didn't hear anything about that in this video!

[@paulhenryxray]

18:44 one big thing to keep in mind with fuel economy versus the Q3's competition is the Q3 is the only vehicle in the subcompact crossover segment that doesn't require premium fuel. So, while it may not have the best fuel economy rating by a few MPG, it still has the lowest annual fuel cost.

[@avatoast]

Good to know.

[@Ian-mv4qq]

Good to know, thanks! Does Q3 have eco mode as well? That should help the mpg a bit more.

[@inkandwrist]

Depends on how long you're driving the vehicle. If you're leasing it then feel free to use regular gas. But if you buy and keep it long term (8-12 years), using premium gas would save you the repair cost in the future. Any turbocharged vehicles should not use anything less than 91.

[@441meatloaf]

@@inkandwrist Except the manufacturer literally said regular not premium.....There are plenty of turbocharged vehicle not needed premium gas. Subaru's new 2.4L boxer, Honda 1.5L turbo, Kyundai/KIA 1.6L turbo all only need regular not premium.

[@VWTalk]

@@inkandwrist It’s tuned for regular. Unless you live somewhere where you have extremely low quality fuel, or tune the car, there’s no basis for “premium is better”.

[@yes8032]

That moment when the Q3 has a better looking dashboard than the Q5 imo

[@andreajackson2925]

it does..it's ridiculous. The lackluster dash is why I will be purchasing the x3 BMW..

[@andreajackson2925]

@SnowBoarder&Skier for you it does for me it doesn't thanks..

[@andreajackson2925]

@SnowBoarder&Skier again thanks...I have seen them and again I Like the X3. I know folks who have owned bmw's for years and swear by them. I Also know folks that have had the same experience you had...again I Like the X3.

[@thenotoriousjoey9956]

@SnowBoarder&Skier well yeah it’s the entry level Audi

[@irenafacelli2882]

And a better front grill. I cant stand the ugly honeycomb design of the new Q5. Looks cheap.

[@loseerich493]

Agree. Hands down the Q3 is better looking than the normal Q5. The proportions are just right design wise front to back. Save for the shifter, I really like the interior layout of the Q3 over the Q5 as well.

[@1onsight852]

Facts that shifter might be my deal breaker.

[@saraaronzon4562]

I see a great shifter! Better than push button.

[@alexdromero13]

same!

[@brendap.8492]

Hey guys, great review. One thing you miss on all the Audi Qs you have reviewed is the extra storage by the driver's left knee. Looks like a compartment for fuses, but it is storage. Size will vary based on the model. My husband's Audi A5 S-line also has it. Only way that I knew to look for it. Love that you keep up on the db levels. Looks like a busy season for you both, with all the new models coming out.

[@paulhenryxray]

Yes, looks very similar to the storage compartment to the left of the steering wheel on my VW CC. Perfect place to store my work ID badge to get into the parking garage.

[@Kaff231]

Love you guys..Your videos are awesome. Before I buy a car I literally check out your videos as part of my research process. Great video as always. Keep up the great work.😃👍🚗

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! We appreciate that! 😁🙏

[@richardmahan6825]

@@CarConfections Love your review. I have a new 2021 Q3 and still finding new discoveries like holding the unlock fob button and all the windows and sun roof will open. Brenda P. (below) mentioned the little storage compartment on the left side by your knee. Big enough to hold my RayBan sunglasses. Everyone complains about the location of the volume knob but don't mention that there is a volume knob on the steering wheel. Hello! Your thumb is right on it. No looking down.

[@austincowper7551]

@@CarConfections Any idea why the sound reading was so high? I mean- even your Outback review was a 55- could it have been the 20 inch wheels or the road?

[@sassouusasoo3607]

Otd price over 40k .Plus this will not go over 200k miles. Not reliable and the parts are expensive.

[@joshuasmith2951]

Really enjoy your videos. I find them mostly comprehensive. If I may offer 1 suggestion..a lot of the higher end car manufacturers have app suites for your smartphone that include stuff like remote start. Do you think you could add a segment related to that. This is one feature that I'm looking for as I shop for a new car. Thanks!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! Unfortunately, we can't do anything with most manufacturers apps because they require you register the car as if you own it to use them

[@ShadowCaster3214]

Great review. I am looking at both the Q5 and Q3 2022 models and this review was amazing because I didn’t like the gray color used on the Q3 vs the Q5 at least how it looked on the computer screen. This actual review showed the color way more accurately and I really like it especially combined with the black optic package.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! Glad you found it helpful

[@Nomad.system]

Drive both back to back, Q3 doesn’t compare.

[@johno7564]

My 3 was in the shop for a few days and they allowed me the use of a Q5. Yes you have to refuel with premium unleaded, the engine is more torquey than my 3. I definitely wanted to ,”give it the beans” every bit of the way. Really glad to have my Q3 back from the shop.

[@johno7564]

The reason I went for the Q3, doesn’t need the higher octane fuel required for the Q5.

[@nickpaulin6530]

Just bought mine yesterday in mythos black! First brand new car and I could not be happier. Love the review even after the fact

[@CarConfections]

Congrats on your new Q3!

[@OntarioAndrews415]

Yes I gave this a thumbs up! I love this vehicle. I almost got one in 2016, but at that time the dash was a bit dated so I decided not to. However, now it is darn perfect. So if I was in the market I'd give it a go. Thanks for posting/sharing. Cheers!

[@CarConfections]

Audi q3 premium plus 2022 i just bought this car, it has puddle lights and ambient lighting, it drives great, only this i would want is cooled seats, and wireless charging, and its perfect. I actually do mobile detailing out the truck and it fits. But now my back seats are jammed

[@kuujajin]

Can you guys do a comparison between 2022 Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40? Much appreciated.

[@brianjmartinez7530]

Wow this looks really really great for a Q3 !! The 45 Tfsi premium I was looking at looks amazing and sounds amazing when reading it now it’s time for the in person view

[@wdholm5453]

I just bought one today. 😊 EXCITED! I ve already programmed the garage door opener.

[@Sarge_72]

[@devalraval007]

I almost switched to Jeremy's channel hearing that music, haha. Nice video guys..

[@b286guy]

I drove one of these, and it was pretty nice, but I found the engine noisy and unrefined. I have an ‘18 A4 that is the opposite of that, and it was especially striking when I got back in it. Love my A4 even more now 😄

[@bendoverbichiminspleen]

Same , 18 A4 shxt

[@pradeepkumar-ew1ze]

Use the music player, u dont hear any 🤣

[@noneofyourbuisness7]

It’s like the engineers purposely made it a little crappier just to remind you you’re in their entry level suv. So a salesman could point you towards a more expensive Q5.

[@pdog708]

Thanks guys for this review you have enhanced my decision to purchase this car because my Dodge charger SRT kept getting stolen

FYI, there is only 20 bhp difference between both engines, the 40 has a 0-60 of 7.3, the 45 drops that to 6.5 ish

[@irishman4671]

In the market for this size of luxury SUV. I like the styling of this better than the Mercedes GLA, but def like the console of the Mercedes better. This seems to drive better maybe? I'm not a car guy. What's the better choice? I've had a BMW before and not sure I want another but open to most options. Any advice would be great!

[@martialstudios4474]

Thanks for the review. I test drove a 2021 Q3, it's disappointing that they still haven't added memory seats (not even an option?). Unacceptable in 2022. Overall the '21 didn't excel in any category. It's German competition (tested the x1, gla/glb) all have a better drive (x1 had the best drive, gla/glb had the best interior). Even the cx5 drives better although I did prefer the q3's interior to the cx5. Cabin noise was louder than expected, suspension didn't particularly absorb bumps well and trunk space is pretty average. Easy pass.

[@irenafacelli2882]

There are memory seats now available as standard in this vehicle. Now breathe.

The Front crash mitigation does not work (on my 2022 Audi Q3 with the Premium Plus Package including Pre-sense and Pre-sense Front crash and pedestrian mitigation). It does NOTHING to help you in the event of an upcoming crash! (Yes, I have it activated correctly.) I brought it back to the dealer and they said their "diagnostics" showed that everything was fine. After about 3 hours of arguing with the Salesman, the Service Manager, and the General Manager, their conclusion was that the Pre Sense and Pre Sense Front were only made to warn you and apply the brakes when you are A FEW INCHES away from whatever you are about to hit! The Subaru I traded in warned me at least 2 - 3 car lengths before and applied brakes at least 1 car length before. I set up rows of cheap Styrofoam ice chests in front of the car and tested the car at low speeds and higher speeds and my "warning" was a slight beep AFTER SMASHING THROUGH THE STYROFOAM (and the brakes never activated). Of course the dealer would not let me demonstrate this to them when I went back with the ice chests. I'm selling the POS and buying another Subaru.

So, Q3 or GLA 250? Looking for comfortable ride more than sportiness.

[@videogameopenings4489]

I picked a q3 over a glc 300 (which was more expensive than both) the GLA is absolutely too small for 4 adults. It's good for 2 adults 2 teens/children. I picked the audi for its overall look, as well as power train being faster, more economical, and the tech is way more updated while the GLC still uses the outdated tablet layout. My Q3 45 S-line was just under 46k so the difference between the gla was signficant. I would compare the q3 to the glc more than the gla.
