If Rory combined with Carwow Matt, they can beat any car-show out there in the world. In fact, I would cancel my Netflix, Amazon prime and sit with popcorn every day waiting for a video from them.
Agree totally mate. I was about to pick up an S3 before COVID hit and am now in a position to do so again. I’ve waited this long I think I’ll wait for the new model to release and just put a deposit/pre order one (saloon version ofc!)
you will lose a little boot space due to the quattro in the S3, which is often never mentioned. You'll only find out when you try to put something that would normally fit your A3 Saloon. I don't think this applies to other models when adding quattro.
Bmw must see Audi A3 sportback and saloon is giving tough competition to Merc A class and Bmw 1 and 2 series .this is War in this segment .this is intersting lets see how it performs
I don't care how good the car is, they shit the bed with 2 series gran coupe in terms of exterior design. put the 2, A3 and (CL)A-class next to each other and ask people which one they fancy. I don't know what confused soul woud pick the BMW - and I'm a fan of the brand.
Exactly. I usually like both channels, but the Carwow video was poorly done and couldn't watch past the halfway mark. On the other hand, Rory did a fantastic job here.
I was hoping you beat ‘Whatcar’ in breaking news of the beauteous new A3 Saloon review, but it was a very close drag race! Even through lockdown 🔐 your effervescent personality and irreprehensible aura makes for highly enjoyable; fantastic reviews! Keep up on the great work you’re doing. 👏🏻
I've always liked the s3 saloon. All the car you need. Yobish enough to have fun, smart enough to turn up to a funeral in, sensible enough to turn up to a business meeting, and stylish enough that people take some notice
This video made my day!! Thank you! Was bummed that the previous RS3 wasn’t available the way I wanted it. This A3 looks even better than that. I’m so looking forward to the RS3! Any idea when it might come out? I’m in the US
why did you leave top gear?!you and chris harris were the only guys who were knowledgeable, after the famous trio. them other guys aint really cutting it. watching all the way from South Africa
I prefer the front to the rear, mainly because there are now no longer a twin tailpipe but fake outlets instead. This car looks great though and the tech has really caught up. I am swapping my tfsi Sport, owned for over 3 years, for an S/Line as soon as a decent deal is available
Yeah...but the video demo has an A3 that's fully loaded or close to fully loaded, and that one is nowhere near 27K or even 30K. For the base model you don't get those fancy dynamic turn signals, you don't even have LED turn signals in the front. Definitely no HUD, the navigation maps are also extra money to unlock, the cockpit display showed in the video is also upgraded, it's not the one that comes standard.
Looks very classy! I currently own an A3 S line hatch and love the flat bottom steering wheel, which surely is one of THE features that defines the S line from lower models. Why then do you have to now pay extra for one? Smacks a bit of penny pinching.
Yes but I would hope the saloon has a longer wheelbase because with saloons the seating is lowered because of less headspace but that requires more legroom at the back. Hope they done it otherwise they'll have made a saloon with rear space the size of a coupé
car is perfect dimension, all new cars become so big.. you cant park any more on parking, to not step on one or both lines when you park. not even talking about how cant open doors on most parking lots. this car is returns of sedans-limusines. why would any one bought big sedan if you have so much SUV on markets for same price. small car as this is perfect sedan size
BMW 1 series, look out. I think this looks a lot better, more sleek even the basic model will look sleeker than a one series BMW, the basic BMW one series basic look a little plain for my liking.. Can't wait to see any of the S or RS versions..
The only thing I don't like is those AC vents where the steering wheel are. They scream late 80s square. I will enjoy my 2018 A4. I don't like what they did with the A4 either with the rounded off.front end and removed the dial from the centre console
Had to get a new job cause of Corona, one plus is , that my credit rating will be much higher cause I'm not in the restaurant industry any more. I'd say perfect timing for the new s3 that hopefully will come in the next couple of months for me to lease hehe
Shame they haven't got the 2 litre engine - I find the 1.5 engine to lack guts - had it in a Q3 courtesy car while my A5 2 litre (190 bhp) was in the garage.
You never know what the future holds, keep on working hard and pray. Audi is my dream from high school today im driving A3 sedan S tronic 1.4 tfsi. Believe in yourself bra.
I'm not usually a fan of Audi but I actually like this design. I my mind we are in an era of some of the ugliest car designs ever seen in the idustry. So It's nice to see a more simple cool elegant design for a change

I agree with you 💯 percent. They are excellent presenters.
Nah Matt with those corny memes the entire video now a days ruins everything.
That would be a big move,entertainment wise and business wise,but just imagine if matt,rory,clarkson,richard and may came together🤩
Um grand tour?
P K he needs the other 3 buffoons from the Grand Tour...and their budget.
Liking the design. Looks like another hit for Audi.
easily but sportback isnt a bad looking hatch
Pretty early. Rory is one of the best! Love his personality.
I find the sedan more prettier than the Sportback.
just prettier
Same here. Nonetheless both of their releases are hits for me.
Agree totally mate. I was about to pick up an S3 before COVID hit and am now in a position to do so again. I’ve waited this long I think I’ll wait for the new model to release and just put a deposit/pre order one (saloon version ofc!)
Handsome car. Audi knows how to keep their customers happy...even the conservative ones.
This car is just beautiful...your presentation also makes watching the video from start to end enjoyable
Looks good, more like a sawn-off A4 than an A3. Nice. Glad Rory is reviewing it too!
Looking forward to the S3 saloon.
Or the RS3
Hopefully they don't water it down, I'd like to see ps matching the A class amg
Isnt there now an rs3 saloon?
@@silvias15Driver the rs3 is coming in September but idk about the saloon
To all phone makers: Please don't remove the headphone jack.
To all car makers: Please don't remove the volume knob.
Here Here!!!!
It looks so good, it's sculpted really nicely!!
Great job Rory, even when ur not driving the cars, your shows are amazing, factual and entertaining. 👍🏾
I must agree one of the best car presenters for the average Man 👌🏾👏🏾
Literally the only Audi car I get excited about 🙂, best in class.
So you don't like the r8 or rs7?
I have the current A3 Saloon 1.5 TFSI, I think I will get the new S3 Saloon next.
you will lose a little boot space due to the quattro in the S3, which is often never mentioned. You'll only find out when you try to put something that would normally fit your A3 Saloon.
I don't think this applies to other models when adding quattro.
ssj3forever no one buys an s3 for boot space my friend
Sam Brennan exactly😂😂 just smiles per gallon👌🏽
Like the vlog Rory that’s what makes you a great presenter you say it as it is fend or please keep up the good work
The RS3 is going to be nice.
The new Audi interiors are top notch

@@DenisKudlik BMW 2-series are meant for grandpa and grandma. Just like the Golf + and Suzuki Liana.
BMW 2 should come standard with a sixpence.
A little baby A4. I like it.
Much better than Matt's review
Exactly. I usually like both channels, but the Carwow video was poorly done and couldn't watch past the halfway mark. On the other hand, Rory did a fantastic job here.
Waiting for s3
Saloon looks nicer but the hatchback more practical.
Prefer this over the 1 series and a class, good job audi!
Can't wait to see what the RS3 will be like
Best looking car in 2020 hands down that's affordable
When is the A6 Plug in hybrid coming to the UK?
great early review, top man is Rory. Look forward to the drive
I was hoping you beat ‘Whatcar’ in breaking news of the beauteous new A3 Saloon review, but it was a very close drag race!

Keep up on the great work you’re doing. 👏🏻
Everybody published at 8am. Or at least they should have done. Thanks for watching. -Rory
I thought I was the only one that noticed you review a lot of Audi's lately
great video, thanks for sharing your opinion about the new Audi A3, its been definitely my favorite car for years now!
I've always liked the s3 saloon. All the car you need. Yobish enough to have fun, smart enough to turn up to a funeral in, sensible enough to turn up to a business meeting, and stylish enough that people take some notice
It will still be the weapon of choice for the usual Audi driver.
Excellent first look at a very classy looking motor. Looking forward to it being test driven.
I really like these personally, especially with the 1.0. Which is not something I ever thought I’d say…
Yes this A3 saloon looks more cool and elegant than the A3 sport back.
This video made my day!! Thank you! Was bummed that the previous RS3 wasn’t available the way I wanted it. This A3 looks even better than that. I’m so looking forward to the RS3! Any idea when it might come out? I’m in the US
Left right and centre first 10 seconds and already smooth editing
This is how you do a lockdown video Mat Watson
Thanks Rory, Yes it's very very handsome Audi.. can't wait to see that with the manual transmission
If this A3 is under £30,000 then is that just a starting level entry before adding the optional extras ?
Rory: dude, you remind me of legendary James May.
Prettiest in its class. 😎
The shape is reminiscent of the old Audi 80.. a classic
A3 SEDAN LOOKS STUNNING!!!
why did you leave top gear?!you and chris harris were the only guys who were knowledgeable, after the famous trio. them other guys aint really cutting it. watching all the way from South Africa
This is my preferred choice for my last car.
I prefer the front to the rear, mainly because there are now no longer a twin tailpipe but fake outlets instead. This car looks great though and the tech has really caught up. I am swapping my tfsi Sport, owned for over 3 years, for an S/Line as soon as a decent deal is available

Brilliant review, but I love the click wheel from the iPod 20 years ago 👍
Can't wait for my new RS3 ❤️
Looks very classy! I currently own an A3 S line hatch and love the flat bottom steering wheel, which surely is one of THE features that defines the S line from lower models. Why then do you have to now pay extra for one? Smacks a bit of penny pinching.
Many Thanks, Stay Safe!!
Peace From London. 🙏🙏
Yes but I would hope the saloon has a longer wheelbase because with saloons the seating is lowered because of less headspace but that requires more legroom at the back. Hope they done it otherwise they'll have made a saloon with rear space the size of a coupé

Best looking small Saloon bar non. Just blown the competition out of the water..
Audi are taking orders now on it's website for the sportback
Need a 40 TFSI or S3 to upgrade. Want something premium and fantastic and already loved the old A3 Saloon but just didn’t have the funds at the time!
looks nice
An S3 with over 300 bop paired with the 48volt starter generator, 8 speed Zf.
Отличный канал и отличная подача материала👍👍👍
The best in class but this class is not big :)
Only CLA can be compared to this.
2 series, a class saloon... still not very big but yeah..
Not to big and not too small. A little big rocket🔥
Much better looking than the hatch but cant fit my bike in a saloon so a hatch wins out for me haha
It looks good.
Is the fuel type regular unleaded or premium unleaded fuel
BMW 1 series, look out. I think this looks a lot better, more sleek even the basic model will look sleeker than a one series BMW, the basic BMW one series basic look a little plain for my liking.. Can't wait to see any of the S or RS versions..
The a3 saloon will be pretty similar to drive as the saloon? I think you meant sportback
Nicer than the A4, like if you agree
Pity in South Africa we still have the old 1.4 TFSi not the 1.5
The only thing I don't like is those AC vents where the steering wheel are. They scream late 80s square. I will enjoy my 2018 A4. I don't like what they did with the A4 either with the rounded off.front end and removed the dial from the centre console
When does the new S3 get released Rory ?
“Late 2020”. -Rory
Nice saloon style. Bonkers interior!
Why it doesn't come with paddle shift ?
what is with the little fake vents?? I can’t ignore them
Cant wait for the rs3 version
I prefer the narrower grille from the old models.
For us in the US, the only engine we get is the one that’s in the gti
What's the difference between this and a a4
what a beauty🤤
When entry level cars are better than the top ones of audi and merc😂
Love new a3
The middle lights resemble the quadrofoglio's
As always good video but not sure about that saloon
Had to get a new job cause of Corona, one plus is , that my credit rating will be much higher cause I'm not in the restaurant industry any more.
I'd say perfect timing for the new s3 that hopefully will come in the next couple of months for me to lease hehe
German cars are well built
Identical to the saloon? 4:32?
What about diesel engine?
Not bad value for money if you ask me?
Looks great, but you won’t see many of them on the roads as the A3 known as a hatchback
James is the man. -Rory
Shame they haven't got the 2 litre engine - I find the 1.5 engine to lack guts - had it in a Q3 courtesy car while my A5 2 litre (190 bhp) was in the garage.
Same gutted they're not doing 2.0 litre petrol engine
Am I the only one who noticed that Autotrader releases same car review videos at the same hour as Carwow? ...
Audi gave journalists permission to publish this news at 8AM. -Rory
@@AutoTraderTV Thank God, I thought it was another conspiracy.
P.S. loved the TG show when you were there Rory
I don’t get why they bother making the 2.0tdi with less hp, people got the 1.6tdi because it’s less in taxes but those 2.0tdi’s will be very close
Think I prefer the A4 TDI, @ least I have a better chance of fitting in it 😂🙈🙄
Really not liking the front lights
Here I go again... watching reviews for things I’ll never afford.
You never know what the future holds, keep on working hard and pray. Audi is my dream from high school today im driving A3 sedan S tronic 1.4 tfsi. Believe in yourself bra.
COMPACT👍
hey, BMW, SEE THIS?! this is DESIGN. Remember when you used to do this? Audi is eating your lunch here....
I wish i could fit in to this Car
Unfortunately the S3 is horrendous in sport back form
I'm not usually a fan of Audi but I actually like this design. I my mind we are in an era of some of the ugliest car designs ever seen in the idustry. So It's nice to see a more simple cool elegant design for a change
