I totally agree, Audi has not only stepped their game up regarding looks and performance, they have also, surprisingly, stepped their game up in the reliability department. I don't quite recall where exactly I saw that Audi was ranked 3rd best in 2017 for reliability. From all German brands, I would totally opt for Audi, me being a BMW owner.
+OO 13 Audi is really giving BMW and Mercedes a run for their money. Personally, I think Audi's look the best out of all of them. There's just something about their restrained, elegant styling.
CarVision Totally, not to be a fanboy but the 2017 R8 V10 Plus is a monster, naturally aspirated and does 0-60 in below 3 seconds, craziness. I hope Audi keeps it up and starts leading the way.
Definitely is a sports car. Mine has an i take and stage 1 tune. Making 300hp and 330torque. Faster than an S3 all day. Getting some springs and transmission tune, along with some better brake pads and steel braided lines
Thank You! The 230i is a coupe so it’s definitely a little less practical than the A3 but the BMW is going to give you a more engaging driving experience. Both are great cars but it really depends on if you want practicality or a sportier drive. I do think the Audi’s interior is more technologically advanced than the BMW’s. I’ll try to get a 230i on the channel and film a comparison video with the A3.
@@factor1629 have a 2017 a3 with 70k miles. it is a money pit. i bought it new and did every single service at audi. multiple recalls. ac went out. transmission out. all within a year after the warranty expired. go figure.
Great video man. I've had my A3 for a few months now and it's better than any BMW or Mercedes that I've ever owned.
Thanks! It is an excellent car, I’m glad you are enjoying yours!

Awesome Video! I learned a ton about the personality of this car. It has great comparisons to other cars in its class!
Thank you!

Great Video!
Makes a good background to eating my lunch sandwiches.
I am sorry for this comment.
I am still young so means that I have a option to take a car type which I already have made my choice to get a Audi a3 for highschool
The A3 is a great car. I personally own a 2017 Volkswagen GTI which shares the same MQB platform as the A3. VAG’s MQB cars are light and handle well.
how was it
Excellent review!
I was wondering how would you compare BMW 230 vs. Audi A3?

I’m thinking about getting one of these with 60k miles on it it’s a 2016 Audi a3 sedan
any update ?

Confused... The video's name is "Here's why you should buy a 2017 Audi A3" But proceeds to show a 2016 A3.
It’s essentially the same car.
@@CarVisionLA Same Guts, maybe... Same shell? Nope lol I like the '17 .. Better looking than the '16
@@CarVisionLA nope! different lights , but yes they are one the same platform of cars, but next time put the correct year
I was thinking about eating one but, now I’m worried about the brakes I’m so weird when I.T comes to car brakes
does the base model have blind spot sensors?
I don’t believe so
To be fair, the s3 base starts at $43,000 which is what you say this tested model went for.
Yes, but it depends on what the consumer wants. Some may not want an S3.
Pretty sure that’s older than 2017 as 2017 got the new headlights
