This makes perfect sense for a private buyer. I just bought one and the 1.0 litre is ideal for every day use. Most people don’t need the 1.5 engine - 0-100 a few seconds faster isn’t necessary. Buy a sports car if that’s so important to you 😅
Perhaps can consider sharing the reviewer's height in order for viewers to better judge the rear seat? I notice that Jon, Julian and Idris often state their height though.
Precisely the use case, the Audi enjoyer without the need for speed, thus a Cat A COE A3, with the benefits of better fuel consumption and road tax! - Jay
Note that the 1.5 has a $15k VES rebate hence a lower ARF and therefore lower PARF at the end. Hence it's depre is significantly higher than the price difference would suggest.

Underpowered European car. Rubbish hp and torque. Nowadays standard for European cars is below 10 seconds for century sprint. This car poorly achieves 10.6 seconds. Top up a bit get the 1.5 variant lah. 1.0 engine too small you floor the gas pedal, it will scream out loud.
If you’re complaining that 10.6 seconds to get you from 0-100 and that’s slow. It’s not the car’s problem. It’s a YOU problem. The philosophy of buyers of such aren’t looking to floor from 0-100 or even floor when the lights turns green. You want performance? Get an RS3. Don’t need it? This is sufficient enough for the everyday drives to go alongside with the Asian makes cars.
why will u even want to get this car for performance and top speed 💀. might as well get a RS unless u can’t afford one which it seems to be by what u have commented 🤣🥱
My previous ride was sub 7s and now I drive a sub 11s ride. To be honest, the difference in acceleration is not obvious during normal day to day driving especially during peak hours. Unless one wants to drive so aggressively that your car appears in social media.

How sad that a car like this costs SGD200K in Singapore. It’s getting ridiculous
WE NEED A 40K DROP IN COE PRICE ACROSS THE BOARD NOW.
We needed it long ago 😢
$203k for this?! Lord have mercy…..
That's 10% down-payment for condo 😆
BMW 1 series all day....

Thanks Rick, Desmond's height is 171cm. We missed it out in this review but we'll be sure to point it out in all reviews!

I will make my ancestors cry if I buy tis car.
Just paying for the brand and not value. Don’t agree it’s a “Will buy”. Only 20k diff between this and 1.5l variant. 0-100 in 10s is not acceptable.

The $/HP doesn't make sense
I just upgraded to Q3 from A3 1.0. A3 is a fantastic car. I love it but having kid, I need more space. But 203k ……
inst q3 based on a3? shouldnt the space still be similar just q3 is taller?
S$200,000 for a CAT A car that's just 1 liter? And you gave a Will Buy rating? Not sure I can agree with that.
Can the auto stop(engine) function be turned off?
1.0L sound good for roadtax😁
What fuel efficiency (litre/100km) did you get while driving this car?
In our drives we managed to get 15.4km/L
@@sgcarmartreviews about the same as 1.5 cc
As Malaysian, this remind me of Nissan Almera 1.0 Turbocharged
But theirs is lower in hp and torque.
No M-hybrid version?
Consumption on 100km?
We averaged 15.4km/L over a couple of days so 6.5L/100km

10.6s... even proton faster
Will there be new Lexus NX review
How come at 4:10 the LCD screen colour looks weird
Just the way it looks on camera, looks super normal in person.

This engine with a simple tune will easily hit 140 HP woth no modifications
Would that be too much wear and tear on this tiny engine?

@@AloysiusTSY may I know how much they charged for the tuning?

Actually 1.0 litre it's a joke.
