THE NEW AUDI A3 - GENEVA MOTOR SHOW

[J8Y PW]

And some renders....

 

[S3RYE]

looks sweet!

 

[HIGGINS]

It looks terrible Hopefully the s-line and s3 version will change my mind...

 

[J8Y PW]

By the looks of it, that is the S-Line

 

[S3RYE]

S3 will look nice i reckon

 

[willowsdad]

Like the front, but too A1 at the back. I think the black edition would look sweet, and if they flared out them arches and dropped in the 5cylinder turbo it could actually make a proper RS3.

 

[SAiLO]

Time to start saving... Not sure if I like those front seats, though. Alloys are good. Gadgetry is meant to be top notch as well.

 

[RedDejavu]

I start to be convinced more with every day. Like with everything thats new need time to settle down in mind

 

[mjr901]

I'd rather eat my own foot than look at that on my driveway.

 

[crisdj]

It's ok, 10 out of 10 for the new tech (at a massive premium though no doubt!) although maybe a little 'halfords boy racer' looking on the outside!

 

[S3 Rav]

Looks just like a bigger a1. Looks more like a facelift rather then a whole new model. Just my opinion.

 

[A3_Black_Edition]

Not a huge fan, one of the side pics looks nice though. Makes me glad I didn't wake though as don't like it enough to want one at the moment.

 

[Forbzeeee]

I like it now and reckon you all will once you see the S3. I remember having my 8L S3 when the 8P came out and i was convinced I wouldnt like it and would never own one. Now i am the proud owner of an 8P3 S3....

 

[Sheikh]

What do people think of the new A-Class in a non bias way? Looks seriously decent compared to that old munter!

There is a article and short video about the new A3 on the Auto Express website

I like it,its very nice, that is the S-Line by the way. I have been waiting for the launch to decide on my next car so now need to decide new A3 or Range Rover Evoque which buy the way is a lovely drive, different cars I know but already having decided against the Q3 it is down to these two.I will wait to see how the pricing comes out etc and wait to see one in the flesh.
So I may be back in an Audi anytime soon ???

Wow! I do like the look of those seats, quilted looks lovely although in black, not a fan of the cream interior. Should they release the Black Edition with the 1.4T I may order?! It's all about the FBMFSW also, got to have that!

 

[VeeDubDan]

Ummm, Winning!

 

[S3LVX]

Very nice. S3 should be tasty

 

[rOb_A]

i like it, may visit audi in the next few to get more info like how much

 

[Paullie]

I think it's one of those things that's gonna grow on me, ..I actually like it more than I thought I would from the earlier leaked pics I've seen. Can't wait to see it in its S3 guise! xx

 

[N8]

Looks epic tbh

 

[JamesR27]

I was in the dealer yesterday and asked if they had any info on it, but nothing has come through to the sales Manager. Although he said he had been to see it in Feb and it was nice.

 

[rOb_A]

how much you think for a 1.8t 180 s line ??

 

[warren_S5]

Better than I feared. Can't wait to see saloon version as I quite fancy a 280bhp 2 door coupe!

No more retrofits!

 

[warren_S5]

[TDIQ]

Audi A1 with bigger wheels. Borrrrring.

 

[rOb_A]

more info just been added on the audi website. i'm defo interested with $$$$ to spend

 

[dakmaster]

I'm liking it alot, think i'll let the smoke settle a bit though. Loving the wing mirrors!

 

[PaulAr]

Staz, you're back!!!!!

An Imposter...?

 

[James.Asbri]

Every new feature I see on this car is just epic. Think it's going to be a big step forward....

 

[BlueSpark]

Well i do like the new A3 after looking at it severals times today, but then i saw the new A-class and thought WOW. check it out, i think the A3 has some serious competition:

Two fails for the new A3 already.

1. The guy wrote a letter 'M' on the touchpad but the car thought it was an 'A'.

2. The guy made a Freudian Slip and called the twitter/facebook/etc apps "useless" instead of "useful".


Back to the drawing board for Audi.

 

[audigex]

I want the inside a lot more than I want the outside. Gadgets would be nice, the front is still a bit "not sure if I like it or not" for me, the back looks awful and from the side view it's exactly the same.

The only thing I really want is the DAB.

Loving them seats!

 

[Boydie]

"holds out for 3dr RS3!!!"

 

[Shadowman]

I like the STYLE of the seats, but that quilted leather is a bit ' Pimp my ride' !!

 

[audicruiser]

It looks terrible Hopefully the s-line and s3 version will change my mind...

The red car is the S-Line model...

I like it, and to be fair it isn't massively different from the current model. If you look at the rest of the Audi range, the A3 is starting to look dated to I think this new model fills the gap nicely. I'd buy one in Sportback guise for sure!

 

[Ash187]

not a big fan of this 3 door model thought the black quilted seats looks nice! just cant wait to see the saloon version!

and the FBMFSW
