2016 Audi Q3 - Redline: Review

[@godfatherNYC]

I'm just here to see if the door has a nice solid thunk.

[@joelfuentes5148]

This made my day. First aspect I check on every car I get in.

[@godfatherNYC]

+Joel Fuentes Agreed! One of the highlights of every review by Sofyan, too.

[@bokkey45]

I think the way the door shuts says a lot about a car. I once borrowed a Subaru Forester and the doors sounded like they were made out of tin foil when closing them. The outer panel would shake and make a huge racket as if it was made of some cheap, paper-thin aluminum. Not sure if all of them have that issue or if it was just the one I was using.

[@godfatherNYC]

+bokkey45 Agreed. And I was kind of kidding because it's a trademark line that Sofyan always says, but it IS important :)

[@jessicadavis6342]

+bokkey45 Subaru has gotten much better in those terms.

[@City_Cichlids]

Just picked mine up today with 123,000 miles for $9500 cash. Great little daily driver.

[@jeffmahoney8588]

How is i? There is one for sale near me with that same mileage and price.

[@MattKremer39]

This vehicle is definitely boring, but you are probably my favorite car review person on KZbin, thanks man keep it up!

[@supastar97]

I love it! I'm just taking my kids to school and going to work. Maybe a road trip here and there. I'm Not disappointed 😔 !!!

[@Fadic4]

Doesn't the Honda Fit come wit a standard back up camera

[@dealzguyYT]

Best and true review of what a Q3 is and importantly what it is not.... especially for a 2016 and even the unchanged 2017 model in USA

[@essel23fly]

My rental car said they're getting an Audi ready for me. When they brought it out I was like what the fuck is that?? It's this car.

[@Treizez34]

it's a great used value if you go for an S-line with the 19' rims. Personally I still think it's a great car if you remember what it is (not top of the line latest tech, but a solid built car)

[@SamuelDrives]

here in europe I own a Audi Q3 for 2 years, but here u can get adaptive dampers/headlights ( with drive select which work very nice), a newer 220 hp engine, and also a 7 speed S tronic DCT.

[@CubanBeastt]

awesome review, quick question for about 25k what crossover/suv would you recommend?

[@MrAsiandude20]

Is there a BMW x1 review coming up?

[@motorhead_jt21]

Idk if this car competes with a single competitor in its class. Cmon Audi

[@swanblake]

hahahaha exactly. Well said my friend. Such a dated vehicle

[@khalidcarrillo1132]

+Scott Watkins competes with the Tiguan xD

[@starkicker5623]

price with standard features

[@joye1953]

Not all of Audi's models have the MMI controls behind the gear shift. The Audi concert MMI system in the A4 and Q5 have the controls up on the dashboard above the A/C controls.

[@chardt]

Any difference from the new 2017 Audi Q3? Good? Bad? Is it a better value compared to the BMW X1? I feel like you get more "car" for the Audi as it comes with some standard features like leather seats, rear camera,etc than the BMW X1 where you have to pay for as an upgrade

[@curtisperson8239]

P.S. how can I purchase your "redline" short sleeve shirt??

[@baldheadlogic]

Hey Sofyan! When do you expect to test the X1? I am interested as to how the driving dynamics changed since it is now based on a front drive platform.

[@hanspaolo10]

You do the new civic yet? Would love to hear what you have to say about it. Thanks.

[@ILive2Smile]

are you reviewing the new x1 anytime soon?

[@okko2219]

Bmw isnt comfortable and the x1 is ugly.

[@okko2219]

+Csab i live in germany.I See every Day a Lot of this boring small and unkomfortabel cars and i must ask you :is the x1,Q3 etc. commen in the USA? (sry. for my Bad english)

[@JERCHROME]

How's the drive going through potholes/bumps? Comfortable?

[@lanecastro5693]

I drove it yesterday and hit 35 in a parking lot lmao. Sport mode is beast.

[@cloudsurfer4323]

Wait.. you had me until the end when you said a car you haven't tested (new X1) is better than the Q3. Color me confused.

[@PunDoggey]

Do you have a review of the toyota 86 or scion frs?

[@chilled99]

looks best as a Black Edition

[@MrJoojoo2003]

Do u live in Massachusetts

[@Veyronp87]

very weird that audi released the q3 here without waiting for a new generation. you're basically buying a 10 year old car here

[@swanblake]

exactly. Yet people eat it up because of the badge. The powertrain they did not even bother to update

[@sic22l]

+Veyronp87 They released it a few years ago and it was delayed and therefore outdated from the beginning. There's still no new generation on the horizon even in Europe.

[@ccvr6]

So this is basically a Tiguan with a suit on.

[@And3rson1294]

Will the q2 slot under or replace this?

[@tument]

Great videos!! Can u also review 2016/2017 Audi Q5 and SQ5? Thank you

[@Brandon10101011]

ive watched your videos for a while but i havent seen u do a review of the old saturn sky i was wondering where it fell in performance roadster wise i always thought it was a cool looking tweener between miata and 370 size wise and if it wasnt so heavy i think it wouldve been a fast track car i just never seen anyone talk about the handling. i hear they have very stout transmissions and u can keep your foot in the gas while clutching to stay in boost. sounds cool. keep u the grest videos.

[@demsasreddae]

will there be an S version?

[@carbrickscity]

The BMW X1 is the car I would get if I were to buy one in this class.

[@alyaanjiwani8003]

Hey Sofyan can you please review a Lexus ES 350?

[@flori9490]

This is not compared with the gla or bmw x1. This is compared with the glc or the x3. Q7 is compared with the GLS and X7. Q5 is compared with the GLE or X5 and this is compared with the GLC and X3

[@michaelgriffith9129]

What models have folding mirrors on q3 and q5?

[@WitchyWhale]

I hate how the trend is to make reverse lights tiny and you can't see them at all.

[@Mrrossthaboss2000]

I super don't understand this car. Tiny on the inside, tacky console and everything is outdated. How is this considered luxury?

[@chrissorreda4982]

Badge.

[@어엿먹-i6s]

+AZ ManUFan cuz the name is AUDI

[@AlienNinjaPuppy]

It still beats out the x1 and the gla.

[@mt-vs2oc]

I feel the same way. However, the 2019+ Q3s are the definition of luxury.

[@jarock121197]

Can you please review the 2016 Maxima and GS350 also do you do throwback reviews I would love if you can find a Mercedes C43 or a 97-99 Maxima GLE or SE

[@semajbrown3380]

can you do the Alfa Romeo 4c please

[@sebastientumahai9560]

Bro, this car isn't "all new" it's just "new"

[@jlegresley]

Wiat till next year, even the Tiguan will run on the MQB platform.

[@outsideboy23]

it’s shorter than the x1 ? damn.

[@netaneladar3789]

My mom just wanted more info on this car, thanks!

[@ravenger17]

+Alex Zicong Yan He looks to have been thanking the reviewer for all of the information provided in the video.

[@williamalexander9877]

That is not a Volkswagen key with an Audi logo on it. The Volkswagen switchblade key is shaped differently than this one.

[@khalidcarrillo1132]

+Billy William Its' pretty much the exact same other than the slight shape difference.

[@charlesgroover9646]

Was going to look at one of these lol too many negatives 🎞

[@erichuang953]

Did he said "It sounds like fucking diesel engine"? LOL

[@RSi-gp3wc]

You are correct my dude. I rented a Q3 Quattro for 2 weeks on Turo. It was an absolute nightmare to drive this thing around. Outdated interior, bad brakes, not-so-informative gauge cluster...I would weep for whoever purchased this car as an daily driver.

[@MisterNazih]

The interior is NOT Audi quality. The cheap aircon controls, the tacky screen, and the bad dash design are NOT Audi standard. It's more like a VW Tiguan than an Audi. My Mother was considering the Q3, but she decided to go with a 2016 Q5, premium plus trim, everything on it. It was MUCH more expensive than the Q3 (the Q5 she got was $52,000! Eek!) but it was SO worth it. Go for a GLA or an X1 instead of this.

[@jordanmccullough1315]

in 2017 it is not the baby. ther is a q2

[@sergevivier956]

How does the Q3 compares to the Tiguan?

[@khalidcarrillo1132]

+serge vivier Not gonna lie the Tiguan looks nicer and more modern. It has the same engine so it will drive pretty much the same. and the Tiguan is slightly cheaper. I sold for VW :)

[@skylarlevi7960]

Do a fuel cell sofyan bey like Honda clarity or Audi q6 releasing sometime for replacement of q3 but slots between q5 and q7 fuel cells more hype also review a 2nd gen aviator for 2017 with first gen aviator before the 2017 version and you'll be very surprised ur gonna be in Northern California for review of redesigned 2017 Toyota 4Runner and do review of 2017 maxima Or Taurus also u need to go to SF auto show in November or idk when next SF auto show is but I can tell u that we could look at 2017 vehicles out in new moscone center

[@iamnadeemsultan]

Mercedez is the top of all these cars Whether audi or bmw...

[@alvinheino2624]

A heated steering wheel would be nice.

[@RenWater]

Your shirt needs to go one size up

[@bluz2316]

Where the hell is the USB port

[@Doug5524]

This engine sounds terrible sounds like it needs oil you should have got the Sline and upgrade to 19" wheels and change to the steering wheel 2016 here in the UK was upgraded, much better

[@kennethbrown2344]

I like morden cars with an old school touch.

[@rheumakai86]

@Sofyan : What do Americans think of the VW Diesel-gate? For me in Germany I have the feeling that the media cares....and the Auto experts care...but the dumb masses...I really dont know. I think here you have to wait what the sales say for Q1 2016. I Heard that the automarket is booming in USA but VW has less sales....

[@godfatherNYC]

To me it seems like a very big deal here in the US. I'm especially bummed out because I was seriously considering a VW turbo diesel TDI. VWs are very popular cars here and the scandal has hurt them terribly in my opinion, but I do think that people here will forgive them quickly once they fix the problems. I want that redesigned Tiguan in a TDI!!! I hope it will be available here in a year or so.

[@godfatherNYC]

+Csab I'm not following you, I think the scandal hurt them, but they'll recover.

[@bigmac22ify]

+TJ CORE VW were kinda always boring atleast compared to the euro versions of the cars and diesel gate doesn't help. The most Vw I see is the Golf and Jetta and a couple CCs

[@AzNDvDPLaYA]

Get new cameras please. Sound is fuzzy during the drive. Sony sucks

[@Fussinated]

If that grille would have been on a Japanese car, people would be bashing how bad it looks ... oh wait, Toyota grille is like this and Euro fans filled the comment section with how bad the grille looks, LOL! What a crooked bunch! well, you can not expect more from people who built these brands of cars anyway (VW Group, the head of the crooked car companies).

[@Bentz99]

Looks old, my 2006 Jetta looks very similar interior

[@finaljustice3848]

Why do Audi engines seem to output less power than their competitors? 2.0L engine that produces only 207hp?? competitors easily produce 250hp+ and higher torque on their 2.0L engines.

[@brightivan]

It's VW cousin feels a lot more modern than this.

[@khalidcarrillo1132]

+Bright Ivan (Winkiedilwy) I love the Tiguan and I agree, it's much more modern.

[@jockosboy17]

Weird sound at times and wandering cameras... Good video otherwise.

[@bigmac22ify]

wow it looks outdated

[@gerryweibob]

Just looking at the exterior I'd say it'd be fine in 2010...but 2016? No no no...

[@AutoEnthusiastJC]

You talk fast!

[@chadsingleton7632]

Interesting I never thought id see the day when audi would put there prestigious name on a product of this low quality. This doesn't even compete with the econobox rav4 never the less its class with the lexus nx, mercedes gla, and bmw x1.

[@msndotnet01]

Audi gets away selling old piece a junk like this Q3 here for 10 years. Mitsubishi tryin to do the same thing with the Lancer, failed horribly.

[@_chipchip]

It looks like a boring shoe. Probably drives like one too?

[@sergevivier956]

+chipchip Compare to what?

[@J-W.-]

Tbh this Audi looks plain and cheap.

[@어엿먹-i6s]

+Jonathan Washington I believe the entry level price is around 33K so....

[@J-W.-]

어엿먹 That's fully loaded regular cars that has way more equipment then this does.

[@어엿먹-i6s]

Jonathan Washington yeah... I saw this car at the local auto show here. Sat insides etc. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles. at 33k you get what you pay for. Although if I were to compare it with some other cars there "fully loaded" like you said like say... honda CRV I'd get a lot more for my money. I guess the name "audi" they figure would sell most of the car itself. lol. Still it was fairly nice car.

[@hpdv74060us]

the Mazda looks better

[@KenniTheKid]

Misstep for Audi.

[@jaxxon4972]

I'm sure old people will love this car with its futuristic CD player and ac. But my generation is use to all the. New gadgets bein standar. I was considering this car until I compared it to the BMW X1 no contest. X1 has way more features standard. For more it comes with park assist. Even Kia Sportage has more tech than BMW and Audi. These luxury brands aren't keeping up with the lower end brands. That's sad.

[@Orange-yp9bl]

bmw x1 2016 looks better ...

[@JettyJ7]

This guy is so negative in this video terrible review

[@matthewgreenstad4329]

Interior isn't that nice, cheap looking.

[@Raven1180]

Very very boring car. I'll stick with the RDX

[@buytheredcar]

Looks like a dune buggy. I hate this thing.

[@louisgonzalez6016]

This Audi is so cheap, if your looking for a crossover you might as well get an Nissan Rogue or a Toyota RAV4. Really disappointed in Audi 🤔🤔😩😐😐

[@dealzguyYT]

Louis Gonzalez you've been near one have you? Case of sour grapes dude?

[@ConstantineJoseph]

Audi interior is garbage compared to BMW

[@iwearleatherjackets1]

Really ugly face on Audi's lineup of SUVs. I also hate how low they sit.

[@Victic005]

$40k for this cheap shit.

[@omgitsme435]

This 2016 looks like a 2009.. Interior looks dated and cheap compared to the new A4 and others on the market. Mercedes GLC runs circles around it in that department. Extremely outdated and people buy it because it's 2016 model apparently..
