I own a 2010 2.0T. That engine is amazing. There's a very subtle hint of turbo leg when you floor it, but once that turbo kicks in, it just flies right past everything else on the road. It's awesome.
The 3.2L engine in my opinion, is more useful, adds Quattro, and power! however, the only downside is, the stick shift is only offered in the Turbo model with no Quattro...the 2010 models come with Quattro and Turbo, but no stick...Audi can you please make up your mind! its like your bi-polar or something, this is why people go with BMW because they have a stick shift or auto or other forms of automatics in their line up, which means, buyers like me wont be confused AND give business else where
why do americans insist on making car videos...you cant test a car because american roads are all straight, wide roads...no skill involved in driving in that country...i mean comon...they call manual "stick shift"...wtf?!?
i love these americans, they probably dont know how "crumbled" the streets of europe are, because they keep thinking they are the pour la creme of this world in everything, sorry to inform them that the average herman autobahn and the italian autodrome, the swiss alpine bahns arte much bettr than the traffic-ill streets of the american meglopolis....
shitty acura brand? have you never driven an acura RSX type s? aparently not. dont talk shit till you know, brother. and the acura NSX is amazing as well. and lexus is alright... but yes, its mainly for girls.
I use to drive a 2006 TSX manual traded it in for a G35 coupe, so yea, I think I know what I'm talking about.
And RSX TYPE S? Laugh, uhm, why even mention that shitty FWD car? My old TSX beats that car in handling, comfort, luxory, and almost everything else except speed, although, who would want to put that much power in a FWD anyways.
And the NSX is badged as a Honda normally, sometimes Acura, but anyways, I wasn't talking about that car you fucking moron.
hahaha, "apparently not." You're right, I don't even think about driving that car you idiot, I'd rather drive a Hyundai Genesis coupe 2.0 over that if I really had to choose between the two.
I have the 09 2.0 quattro, for anyone out there looking for one... GET IT. I have tried the wrx, gti, mustags, mazda 3, dodge charger and dude the a3 handles so incredibly well, responds well, on sport mode it goes psycho, etc etc etc. go take it on a test drive. u will love it
dude doesn't know this is not a caravan car. He cant be serious comparing it to that volvo. This is audi sportback and by sportback they mean 5 door. Same as audi a5 sportback.
I like this review but think he was overly harsh on the Navigation's music playing ability. Throwing MP3s on 2x2Gb SD cards isn't that terrible. Plus it shows all the ID tag info.
yeah but if i were to pay 41 thousand for a bottom line luxury car from audi...i would want all my songs to show up on the fucking screen...bmw has been doing that since they made a deal with apple in 04' and for 41 grand you can get a nicer bimmer with tech that actually matters...no touch screen nav still in the bimmer, but at least its not retarded like the audi's
audi...you still suck...your a poor mans bimmer or merc...or just a stupid man's bimmer or merc
guess it depends on preference and taste. the m3 is awesome, but for every day driving with comfort, elegance, and style, i would go for the s5 or rs5. i don't know much about mercs, but i see mostly old, rich businessmen and their wives drive those things.
41? i bought mine for 25k. Audi has more style then merc any day if i was a stuffy asshole i would buy a merc, and audis are more reliable. Of course that is not saying much but Mercedes are the least reliable car out there and are one of the most expensive.
i guess the V6 totally loaded could cost that. I have a 2008 2.0 premium package with sky roof and special pant and it cost me 25k. far from a base model.
I have the A3 2.0T. This guy sums it up pretty well. Great car. With minimal upgrades (intake, air filter, APR chip) this car really turns into a little pocket rocket!
I drove a 2.0T with the DSG was so much fun, what he says is true but u can probably go for a STI or a EVO for that kind of money which is so much better than the A3.
Concur with YouTube reviewer's pros/cons. Have '07 w/ 2.0T & love it, esp. on curvy rural roads. A3's ride on std. low profile Pirellis in U.S. "S" line R crappy on urban potholed roads but do more 2 avenge themselves on rural roads. Nav system, overall, SUCKS! It's not intuitive. For full-feature Bluetooth compatibility, consult 1st w/ dealer for ltd. list of compatible mobiles that'll work w/ voice recognition, etc. Otherwise-GREAT if desiring more kit than VW GTI, Mazdaspeed 3 hot hatches.
The new restyled one (which as you say has the white text on the drivers information system) is actually the '2009 Model Year'...even though its released in 2008...confused?
I have a black 2008 A3 2.0t with the titanium package which includes a black headliner. I love it. For a 2.0t it's pretty awesome. The only complaint i have it the moon roofs it does get pretty hot expecially with the black leather seats. I thought about tinting them... not sure
if you're so worried about the iPod adapter, you shouldn't even be looking at this car. there's a few really awesome aftermarket ones that do the trick.
40chevy it's not just about speed,ists about look,sound and the feeling in driving, golf v r32 is a headturner on the streets, audi a3 3.2 is just a normal audi a3 at the first look,it has a same engine as the golf but in much less sport package!
nice car, but the thing about the i-pod adapter is too complicated like the 1st 99 songs being recognised and with no display of the song name and artist name its like a pussy detecting a cock in it but without recognising whose actually it is, lol.

but you make a good point with the r8...audi did a nice job with it...s5 looks cool but its still an overpriced piggy for divorced husbands

I don't think you were paying attention. That was an S-Line Quattro with DSG and other extras. Basically the most expensive configuration.

merc= dumb+ even more dumb
08 rs4 much > 08 m3
bmw is reverting to hydraulic clutches which is dumb as fuck, and merc basically got rid of manuals so u r dumb

I completely disagree. The RS4 *is* an amazing car. I'd drive one in a heartbeat. Love it.
But it's not better than the M3, let alone "much" better.
