Hey guys! We were pleasantly surprised with how much better the new S3 drives for 2022! We should also be driving the US spec version of the redesigned Golf R next month as well. Stay tuned for lots more content as we march toward the end of 2021!

I do actually like the interior design for the most part, I think Audi did a good job of refreshing the tech integration over the outdated fixed screen of the later previous generation models (and even other current models in their lineup). Not super thrilled with the drop in power on the A3 2.0 especially because it’s gained some weight, but the S3 drivetrain does seem like a standout feature of the car. However, as a current 2016 A3 owner, I’m not sure that I’d be incredibly tempted to go for this new gen model when I could just as easily end up with a lightly used A4 or A5 sportback for comparable prices.

Putting the Q5 steering wheel in this car (as well as the A4 and A5 series) is stupid. They offer the normal round-bag wheels in literally every other market but, for the US, you can only get those nicer steering wheels if you go for the stripper version.

Impressive upgrades from previous offerings from Audi. They almost hit a home-run if it wasn't for the fake vents. Quad exhausts, however, look great, as does the engine bay which is one of the best looking by far in this segment and beyond. Too bad there's no 3-zone climate controls. But the return of the adjustable center arm rest, and increase (if not complete) in real buttons -- esp. on the steering wheel -- is greatly appreciated. Wonder if the rear windows go all the way down? Probably not. Also, still hard plastics for second row, steerage-class passengers.

The car is uncomfortable with 19 inch wheels and you will feel every bump. Let’s not forget to mention the maintenance, if you can’t afford it. Brakes jobs after 40,000 miles is $2,000, the tires are real thin therefore they will wear out quickly which will cost you $1,700 and then once this is completed you have a 50,000 mile maintenance plan which is about $1,600. Money pits at the end of the day, but if you know how turn a wrench 🔧, you will be all good.

I did it on mine. I have a 2017 with a 6 speed DSG and I always just felt it could use a tad more pull in 4th and it'd be perfect. Unitronic stage 1 took care of that and between the engine and transmission tune it really woke up the car. H&R rear sway bar neutralized the understeer a bit. The only mods I made. When I took my car in for some work and had a 2020 A3 to drive I really noticed how much more lively my car is compared to stock.

The proposition to have someone pay $57,000 for a non-enthusiast compact sedan is quite a bold move in my opinion. Many people look at a Golf R and say, the price premium over a kitted out GTI, is worth it, because of the differential and AWD system. It has refinement, sportiness and practicality. An enthusiast may look at a WRX STI and say the same thing, albeit slightly less refinement than a Golf R... But, here with the S3, Audi is offering a lot of refinement, perhaps not a ton of power, but the 0-60 time is very quick for what power it does make, which then really puts it into the realm of an M3 of only couple generations ago. The price however, leads me to believe that many will choose to lease such a car.... The A3 2.0 however, in the neighborhood of upper $30,000s...well, that's a great car to buy. It's still quick, refined and has AWD, good fuel economy and safety suite features. To me, that's a better buy-out option.

A3- i found this info in another article "There is a method to the madness beyond an obvious slump in power, as Audi says it focused on fuel economy for the new A3’s powertrain. That’s why it’s also featuring a new 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Combine the more efficient powertrain with greatly improved aerodynamics (it went from a 0.33 Cd to a 0.26), and you’re left with a car that offers about 23% better fuel economy across the board than before. Audi says the mild-hybrid system can even provide a short power boost of 12 horsepower and 37 pound-feet of torque on the initial shove off the line. We’re super impressed with the start/stop system that comes along for the ride, too, as it might just be the smoothest on any new car today."

$57k you could get a new fully loaded M240i XDrive with 80 more horsepower. Smaller backseat though.

The interior looks awfully plasticy and cheap, especially the center console around the cup holders where it still looks like a 2006 Jetta. The sharp-edge design makes it looks very ‘cold’ and unwelcoming. I’m surprised they didn’t go with a stitched door panel or fully-trimmed/padded center console. Even Mazda and Honda are more nicely finishing their center consoles. Maybe it feels better in person, but this video and photos give it a very cheap looking vibe.

Nice overview. As for the car, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The S3 at 58K is a terrible value. There are several cars available with similar performance that offer more luxury and superior driving dynamics in the same price category. The A3 also leaves me a bit cold.
