Audi A3 Sportback: Light in bulk, heavy in technology

[@wurzelm743]

Still the best car reviews around. Comprehensive and unbiased. Got mine or order. 40 TSFI E S-line. Such a great drive.

Great comprehensive review!!

I have had mine a week now, and I am very pleased with it. Leather was standard! There was quite a lot to learn about all the features in MMI system, but I think I have it set up fully now. There are a couple of niggles. You have a choice between MMI or Apple Carplay, but not both at the same time. I also wish they would just install Garmin or TomTom as the integrated nav system. The manufacturer's proprietary systems are never as good, cost more, and you have to buy them again after three years! No speed camera or speed limits in the nav system either. I await my first traffic jam to see how far in advance I get the warning and whether it tells me how long I will have to wait. One other downside is that they have removed adaptive cruise control that was in my previous 2016 A3. Why? I also miss the rotary volume knob, but I will get used to the new arrangements.

What a comprehensive review, excellent but did I miss the performance figures for the 2 litre 35 TDI model?

Just ordered one, moving up from the Golf 7.5 R-Line Its very striking how similar this interview is to the OLD Golf inside.

I'm test driving both Golf 8 and A3 today. Curious to see how this will hold up as a family car.

The safety systems constantly fight the driver I hate my new a3

[@felixsulla7853]

The previous A3 had a superior interior. Specifically, it had greater build quality and finer materials. The internal design of the old version was better too.

I have that older version, 2.0 L TFSI S-Line. 190 PS Quattro (3-door). I had the chance to upgrade to this new one like in the video but opted to stick with mine for the reasons you stated. To be fair though it was a mature design, facelift, and bugs and complaints had been worked out by then. However if you didnt have the model before this new one I doubt this will it'll bother people. I plan to wait for the facelift of this one as I alway buy A3s. I think I have a slight addiction

You won't get 8.4 seconds from 0 - 60 in a manual only in the steptronic auto.
