This week I got behind the wheel of an Audi Q3... the smallest and most affordable way to get an Audi SUV! I enjoyed the stylish design and typical Audi build quality. The MMI system is also quite an improvement and leaves very little to be desired. With the now standard S-Line package, I wanted to see how this crossover did in the 45 TFSI form.
Unfortunately it doesn't quite live up to driving experience of its hot-hatch cousins, and feels both a bit clumsy and overweight. This is of course due to the FWD biased nature of its Haldex system and subsequent engine placement (ahead of the front axle).
If however you simply do not care about those unpleasant sensations, or believe you aren't perceptive enough to notice them, then you may have just hit the crossover jackpot! The Q3 is evidently a car that people aspire to, and for good reason, it's a stylish and well built German product!
It isn't quite the GTI alternative I was hoping it would be, but it does shine when compared to much of its competition, and I guess that'll do! Watch the video to find out even more and to see how the Q3 performs on the Tall Boy Test!!!!!

@Reonic, Nice Informative Video but you did not talk much about the cargo space, how much space does it have when compared to Q5 and other compact SUV in same price range like Rogue and CRV. is it worth buying Q3 over Rogue/CRV/RAV4 when all these comes in almost same price range between 33k-38k.

You’re right! I was just saying relatively speaking, some of the button layout is a bit less ergonomic than even previous gen Audi’s... to be fair I forgot that you can switch tracks as well on these newer Audi wheels... didn’t have that on my old 2016 model ☹️🤦🏻‍♂️

Just got a Q3 after 6 years in a GTI. For my needs, looking for awd, more space and safety feature it’s good. But I have to agree with you about the driving dynamics. Best way to describe it is firm but floaty if that make any sense.

Another excellent job Reo! You seem really credible. I think you give strong opinions and valid advice. When you talk about this Q3 not feeling sure footed and you said it was “lanky” despite being on the good MQB platform like the Tiguan, does the FWB Tiguan feel more sure footed than this? Or does the Tiguan feel just as questionable as this car? Hope that makes sense. I don’t want to assume the Tiguan doesn’t ride that great if it shares the same platform.
@Reoniz
@Reoniz 3 года назад
Appreciate it brotha! It’s true that the Tiguan and Q3 share a similar MQB platform, but there are still certain differences. I think the Tiguans slightly longer wheelbase, and more docile power plant leave it not feeling as unsure of itself as the Q3 did. Part of it may also be expectations of a $40k~ Audi vs a $27k~ VW

@Reoniz
@Reoniz 3 года назад
Well 40 grand puts you at the top of the Tiguan range, and in an mid equipped Q3. There's no doubt that the Audi is more luxurious, and that the Tiguan is larger. I think a test drive of each will give you the answer you're looking for!

Great review!! Other benefits over the X1 -- standard sun/moonroof, takes regular gas vs premium. My last four cars were X3 (2008-2011) - loved! Audi A3 hatchback (2011-2014 - discontinued) -- ok but too small, felt like a clown car, followed by an X1 (2014-2017) loved! followed by an A3 sedan (2017-2020) -- too small but needed it for a small garage. Now I don't know what do to do! Q3? X1? X3? Volvo XC40? I want to stay around 35-37K.

Depends on what "better" means to you... If better is the driving experience, then they're comparable, and I actually prefer the Tiguan due to the slightly longer wheelbase and thus more solid feel. If better means better use of materials (fit & finish) and driving a car with a luxury make on the hood... well then that's the Q3
