      I think you have to type "no homo" when writing such sentences.

      NorthWind you make me laugh dude, I don't know how you can elaborate on something so irrelevant, it's not even funny, the time you loose replying to a random comment... I made that as a joke, I guess you just couldn't catch it, maybe you should try to catch a few soaps in the shower, might be more of your taste you idiot.

    It's a nice review, just wanna tell that CD player is a must for me, or any true music enthusiast out there. The quality of sound is no radio or USB player can compare

  • @geeber8136

    oddly the thing I dislike about my sportage is it doesn't have a CD player. I'd rather have one than not.

    Qstn : why are you watching this?
    Me : Mat's in the video !!

  • @Northwindbreeze
    @Northwindbreeze 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    One of the reason why this car came up again is because here in Germany it is one of the best sellers in the small SUV segment. It does stand right in the middle: good driving (not best driving of course) good running costs, good amount of ´luxury touch´, good speed, fair looks... maybe this is why I see it everywhere. Greetings.

      K_Q_ J_H nah i dont think so, the Q5 based on what matt said is the best in its class, but still it's interesting to know how the XC60 which is 8 years old held up in this group

    @davidhayes4814 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mat is bang on, when he says the 1.4 petrol front wheel drive is best. In this most basic form, you can get this discounted (CarWow) for £25K and it acts as a great alternative to a premium hatchback. The 1.4 comes as standard with 150 PS and the car is surprisingly light.

    They should have replaced the old q3 with the interior design of q2. No need to make a q2 at all. İts very small.

  • @maksymtt
    @maksymtt 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This car has another pair of blinkers bellow, to use hazard lights when you have your trunk open, but they're also cool because if you break those pulse blinkers, you don't have to install new ones (they're expensive af)

  • @khody1100
    @khody1100 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice review Mat,as always, but I want to add another negative point to your 5s, The Steering Wheel angle and Dash position are very high even at the lowest adjusted point, for ex on this clip, Steering wheel covers half you your face from side view. Steering wheel feels like a cargo van.

  • @kilove1
    @kilove1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Funny how Matt couldn't find the 12vlot socket in the boot..it does have one..

  • @G0ML333
    @G0ML333 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you sit in it it feels like a raised hatch-back not much space atall, but the most annoying bit is the headroom which for tall people obscures the view out front from any seat in the car and it's cramped in the back...Nor does it offer much luggage space but it's fairly well built cabin with nice materials like any other Audi. On the move it's planted and safe but not what you call sporty just like Matt said. Someone in my close family owns one btw if you are wondering where I get my information from. If it was my money I would look at the new BMW X1 or Mazda CX-5 if I was looking for a small SUV even if the Mazda is less posh inside it's just as much car for a lot less money. We looked at the older gen X1 (but that was also not great on space, the new one has adressed most of the issues the first gen had) when swapping out the old family car for a new car and I've been in the CX-5 a couple of times. EDIT: I wasn't even aware there was a new CX-5 and also a new Volvo XC40 coming out before I wrote this, makes it a no-brainer imho. All of which is more spacious inside and in the back and now that Mazda has updated the interior this car is looking more and more outdated. Space though is the key word here because this car feels tiny inside. Until Audi release a new and bigger Q3 I dont think it deserves to be "shortlisted" like Matt suggests unless you are looking to buy used, I really doubt they sell a lot of these new nowadays. Sorry if my English is off in some places, i'm Scandinavian.. :)

    Finally....thanks a lot for doing the review!!! I ended up getting one.. out of the 3 (q3, x1 & gla) this one felt brilliant... nice and roomy inside .. and the light steering is awesome. The 1.4 turbo petrol is simply brilliant! Also...mine does have a 12v socket in the boot ;)

  • @MrBrown78
    @MrBrown78 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Which SUV would you guys from car wow choose for both a family hauling and using as a daily driver to go to work and such: the Porsche Cayenne or Porsche Macan or Audi Q7 or mercedes e class estate?

    • @milinddixit6583
      @milinddixit6583 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Personally I'd have the E Class. Depends on how much you're willing to spend on fuel as well - the Porsches will use a lot. The Q7 has the best technology and options but I think the E Class has the best mix looks and practicality.

    • @MrBrown78

  • @TBiPhonereviews
    @TBiPhonereviews 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey guys I'm a bit grumpy that you always say the dealer can fit standard suspension. If you're going for a sportier sline version then one would expect sportier suspension. Otherwise just get the standard one. That's like saying a C63 is too loud and the dealer can fit a standard exhaust...

    I like the size and shape of the Q3, but

    The made all the lights on the trunk, so if you open it, there are no lights

    I also have an Audi Q2. For me the road noise and the noise of the tires is terrible. Much too loud for such an expensive car. On the highway it's becoming even more louder. I bought Michelin silent tires, but the Q2 stays very noisy inside. It's really irritating and tiring me. We also have a Polo which is much more silent.

  • @menifo4334
    @menifo4334 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Audi's Q series used to look a muscular. Conservative in their design but they had a presence. The new series from Q2 to Q7 look like a step backwards in term of design. So dull and unispiring. They look like they've jumped out of the 90's with the addition of LED's.

  • @mmmakeee
    @mmmakeee 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The interior is good quality but dated as hell. Good to drive but the steering was a bit too light for my taste. And I think the back seat was very cramped. To me it looks good on the outside given it has the LED lights. Though you can get an Ateca for a lot cheaper.

  • @Photoandcargeek
    @Photoandcargeek 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Many people still listen to CDs, new CD sales are still extremely high globally and so are second hand CD sales! I still buy CDs because they are better and cheaper than mp3s: you can get a CD for £2-£3 instead of £0.99 per track and then you can rip your 10-20 tracks in 2 minutes on any computer at the quality you prefer including higher quality than what you can download. Hence CD users should have the option to get a CD should they want to.

    Bought mine a few months ago. 180bhp Quattro. Its alot of fun beating cars away from the lights.
    My only complaint is the phone controls. You need a degree in computer science in order to end a call. There's no dedicated hang-up button. So you're either messaging around with the steering wheel and a small display on the dash or trying to find the right button on the centre console.
    Very poorly designed
