It's been a while! Anyways, here is a little project I have been working on lately. This is a review/drive of my own Audi A3. From now on, my channel will take an automotive path and I will regularly upload how-to's, DIYs, reviews and other things to do with cars :) Rate, comment, subscribe, and as always- stay tuned for more!
Just bought a 2005 one and I love it !
Your video editing skills are very good, definitely on par with the highest car reviewers I've seen. That said, the times you are on camera are a bit shaky as the camera man holds it. I think just mounting it will make a world of difference. Good stuff, man! Hope to see more vids in the future! You definitely deserve more subscribers.
Brilliant review thank you, in the market for one
I feel like this could be a great review channel. Try to resist over editing, the constant focus racking and fast cuts make it sometimes dizzying. Keep up the good work!
Tristan Olarti thanks for the feedback 😊
Stunning job. (:
thanks :P
Nice video bro love the editing !
great review m8 its a lovely audi red a3 i love mine its a 1.6tdi only 20 tax 70 mpg ,,all the best.. take care
1.6 is a great choice for economy, wish you all the best 👍🏼
I had 2006 Audi A3 5 door Sportback 2 litre TDI Sports ranch, with skirts body all round. I had from 2007 to 2015.
Good vid and nice review! I just got one of these and i can agree with this review 100%
Jimberlin glad you found it helpful :) enjoy yours!
@@Adam_G I just wanted your opinion on something I'm thinking about buying an Audi A3 2.0 diesel Sportback 140bhp, it has 200,000 on the clock it had the timing belt done 20k ago and at some point had a reconditioned gearbox done, the car is red and and has some lacquer peel at the front, inside is in really good condition and seems to drive ok, I can pick this up for £650 what are your thoughts?
Nice video
Awesome content mate🔥❤
Thanks!
Car looks dope!😎👍👍🔥 left a like and ima watch the rest of the video my dude and thanks too
Appreciate! :)
Subscribe. This guy works with cars
My A3 is a 2007 high spec TDI with the DSG which is fantastic to drive. By far the best car I've driven, mind you I haven't driven any other purpose built 'sports cars' before, the closest comparison would be a Kia Cerrato or Golf Cabrio (both 2.0L 4I).
jbones360 Nice, I sometimes with mine had DSG. Although yes, for its class it is by far the best car I have owned/driven myself
Amazing channel, I just subscribed!
But, one criticism, maybe get a tripod or some other stable object to hold the camera so the video isn't shaking so much.
Thanks for the suggestion! Yeah, after rewatching this vid a few times I realised how shaky it was, will definitely get a proper tripod sorted for my next one! :)
Also, try to do more cinematic things such as you did at around 3:58 when the camera looses focus. Its the small stuff that counts on youtube, as well as the video its self.
I have 2008.5 with a aux under arm rest but can’t figure out how to get it to work
I'm thinking of buying a 2006 Audi A3 with 140k miles for $3000 from a coworker. He's installing a new radiator and also the front bumper is damaged. He says he'll buy and install a new bumper for an extra $500. So $3500 total. Also, I said I wasn't too sure about buying and he threw in a 2,000 mile warranty. If I don't buy this vehicle then I'm going to spend 5-6k on a 2012-2013 kia soul. Any advice? This will also be my first car. I'm not looking to do any long trips or anything else crazy. Just want something to get around town. Mainly work, gym, and grocery store. edit: I'm in North America(if that makes any difference).
$3500 seems a good price, having in mind A3s tend to be a little more expensive in North America than Europe. What's the trim level like? What engine/transmission does it have? Audi A3 definitely isn't a sports car but in my opinion it looks cooler than a Kia Soul but again, that's subjective. They tend to be good runabout cars, I'd say go for it (and of course check that it has been properly maintained and looked after).
nice video!
Chinny thanks 😊
I have the 170bhp tdi..07reg..
Love it..so powerful and economical..600 miles on 55 litre tank no problem on the motorway with 4 adults..in comfort..
I change down from 17's to 16's alloys and there is no road noise on decent motorway at 80mph..
On the 17's i have to say the exits from roundabouts were proper rapid😂😂
Love it best car i have ever owned
I also changed from 18s you see in the video down to 16" as I do a lot of driving on motorway- it's quieter and much easier on suspension. Is 170 much quicker than 140 I wonder?
Adam G 170 has biger turbo...so thats why it's 30 bhp extra..smaller turbo has little bit smaller turbo lag BUT when my car kicks in its proper quick👍
Its like 1.5s quicker 0-60!!
3rd and 4th gear is proper quick on country lanes..
Plus the best is you can get up to 220bhp and 350nm with this turbo!!😈😈😈
Stage 3 chip tunning cca 300£
Nice 1, any more car reviews coming?
Hope so 😊 and there'll be some DIY too! Hardest bit is sourcing a car that's review-worthy haha
@giegaii's lexus? 😁
that was actually an idea 😛
Great job dude! I’m on my way to buy my first A3, i can afford ‘10-‘12 170 cp quattro. Should i go for 1.8 tfsi or 2.0 tdi. Can you rate the reliability 1-10? Any advice? Cheers
Nice! 2.0TDi 170 is quick enough and economical, but well, it's a diesel. The engine itself, I'd give 9.5/10- no bad problems over 2 years of ownership so far, only a dirty EGR and a bad mass air flow sensor- nothing major having in mind it has now 216k miles and is nearly 13 years old. 1.8TFSi has huge tuning potential for 250hp+ easy and sounds mad with a good exhaust, realiability-wise it is a good, time-proven engine, coming all the way from the 90s with TT and A4 B5. It's all about the running cost vs. fun factor 😉 good luck with the future purchase
Adam G 😎. Another thing. I’ve tried to get a real world fuel consumption for 1.8 tfsi and nothing. In the same time I’ve read about a very big thirsty for oil which scare me. Anyway you have a real review of your car, clear and compact!
Great video and it helps a lot! I want to buy the same car but 1.6 for economy. What do you thing in the best model in 05’-07’?
05-07 had only the petrol 1.6, in my opinion not great on power or the economy (usually their trim levels are poor too), you’re better off with a 1.9TDi for economy or go for the newer 08- onwards 1.6TDi. Good luck!
@Adam G I just wanted your opinion on something I'm thinking about buying an Audi A3 2.0 diesel Sportback 140bhp, it has 200,000 on the clock it had the timing belt done 20k ago and at some point had a reconditioned gearbox done, the car is red and and has some lacquer peel at the front, inside is in really good condition and seems to drive ok, I can pick this up for £650 what are your thoughts?
650 is dirt cheap for such a car. For a 2.0 TDi be sure to run a diagnostics scan and check for any faults with egr, turbo and injectors. A rebuilt gearbox is a big plus, and regarding the lacquer, its a common problem on red cars, unfortunately. Used A3 bumpers can be picked up for a cheap price at a local breakyard, though. Best of luck!
Looking At a 2006 a3 2.0 for about 2800 with about 157,000 with leather and sunroof.Says it was owned by a mechanic. Think it’s a good deal?
Sounds like a right price for spec and mileage. With these numbers you should expect very good bodywork
I’m expected to buy one in a few weeks In automatic but I’ve been told not to get it cuz apparently the auto gear box ain’t reliable someone help me please ?
Provided the gear oil has been changed at correct intervals, DSG is a good gearbox. It's all about how much you look after it. Also, petrol versions should have fewer problems due to less torque input, as opposed to diesel engines. Hope this helps
Just bought an 06 a3 but passenger side wing mirror isn’t moving when trying to position it does anyone know how to fix it?
If the driver side moves, most likely a wiring issue. Check the rubber boot along the passenger door for broken wires, also make sure to check the connectors for each terminal
coool
thanks :)
About to buy a 2006 Audi A3 2.0 turbo w/ 100k miles ac doesnt work for $3500 what yall think?
AC most likely needs a re-gas, but for a 2.0T it's a reasonable price. Does it come with leather seats or any other nice stuff?
What was the first beat playing at the start of the video
Wrote the music myself :)
@@Adam_G wow
does anyone know if the doors have a door light at the bottom of them?
Hi, yes, all four do.
Adam G do you know if this is the case for 2004 and 2005 models aswell?
@@mricencm my A3 has light and rain pack so it could be to do with that trim option. Otherwise 2004-2008 models are more or less identical.
The 1.9 is slightly more reliable
Generally yes
Do you still have this car
Still driving it, she's going strong!
Say what?
