I just drove one of these home tonight. I needed the ground clearance because my old car starts plowing snow if it's more than 6 inches deep. And the snow berms are so high this year I had to open the door and stand up to see if anyone was coming before pulling out of some lots. This thing drives great on ice on the stock tires. It's fast enough and drives like a car. As soon as I got it I had to do a reverse 180 from one parking spot to another two spots over with a truck in the spot between to get out of a narrow lot and the 360 cam is like having a camera drone hovering above the car. I wish it had more analog stereo controls. I want to be able to adjust the fade without looking.

I own this car. I shopped around. I’m enjoying it. Bar none best tech for the price with any vehicle at around this price point. I think it’s the best looking Audi suv. B&O stereo sounds amazing. Plenty quick for my needs, nice interior. Definately feels premium. Best side warning system in the business. My only issue mine came with 20 inch wheels and the ride is rough over anything other than perfect roads. I wonder if changing the wheels would help make the ride a bit smoother. Had over a year now and not one mechanical issue.

I like the color of this SUV!! Great job Ben.

Compared to BMW X1z This car is MUCH sportier in looks and design I also in my opinion also drives better in terms of more fun to drive. Sure thr X1 has a cooler screen design, but the Audi q3 wins in exterior looks and sportiness

Very Nice, the Audi Orange and White paint jobs look amazing, beautiful. Really wish they would go back to a fold up center console in the front seat, like the back seat, to give that bench seat feeling - unobstructed front seat for driver and passenger. :-)

Audi Q3 is a beautiful car love the orange color on it

[fencer]

Same thing as my Audi q3 sline. This is a very recommended car for anybody interested in this. I am a beginner driver with parents who GRATEFULLY AND SO GENEROUSLY bought me one of these to drive to hs. I get my license february, and k am excited to drive I dios settle in this beautiful car.

For those curious which one I have,
Dark blue (navy) exterior, brown leather interior, Quattro, s-line, LED

The Taos is this size, Toyota Rav-4 is Tiguan (Q5) size, I like your reviews.

Pashaw to anyone who says something is "a poor man's" anything. I'm not about to pay more for something I don't want or need just because others are petty. I love the Q3. Though I do wish we got the RS Q3 like they do in Europe.

I just like that the video gives the impression that the Audi dealership is just a back alley where a dude has one that fell off a Carvana truck.

Q3 is a great car and has plenty of power. Anybody who buys this car will get tremendous value.
Question for the experts here: 1:50 is footage of the rubber floor mats. Are those for the front, rear or hatch?
I agree the key fob is very basic but how often do you look at your keys besides locking/unlocking or for the hatch? Plus, you can press the lock button on the hatch
and that feature will lock and arm your car.

[bellebeaute]

Great review on the car! You were really detailed and helped me narrow down my choice!
Oh, but one thing what is the 12V for? You mentioned it after the Parking button.

[steelontarget]

Wait, does this not have push start button or keyless entry handles so you dont have to push any keyfob buttons?

[ktee]

I got the sportback version of this. Was thinking of getting the new x1 but it just looks like a big fly, especially the front fascia

[bearchow]

The question this video title asks is similar to the question: "If you are up to your neck in cow feces and someone throws dog feces at you, do you duck?"

[Stclairm]

A premium plus is $47, 000. I just drove an Arteon SE-L r line and have to say, I was quite impressed. I do like the looks of this Q3, but the Arteon has 300 hp and AWD and has a huge cargo area.

[larrylewis]

In place of an Audi, I bought a vw arteon. It has more power, more storage, more interior room, and a better ride on the highway.

It's not me. Ben doesn't annunciate fully all his words. Literally, blends two words together.

[skyship]

I also live in Salt Lake. The construction is an ever-worsening nightmare, and I feel validated. Thanks for the great review!

[americashypeman]

I think it would be awesome if you spoke more slowly.
