When you sit in it it feels like a raised hatch-back not much space atall, but the most annoying bit is the headroom which for tall people obscures the view out front from any seat in the car and it's cramped in the back. Nor does it offer much luggage space but it's fairly well built cabin with nice materials like any other Audi. On the move it's planted and safe but not what you call sporty just like Matt said. Someone in my close family owns one btw if you are wondering where I get my information from. If it was my money I would look at the new BMW X1 or Mazda CX-5 if I was looking for a small SUV even if the Mazda is less posh inside it's just as much car for a lot less money. We looked at the older gen X1 (but that was also not great on space, the new one has adressed most of the issues the first gen had) when swapping out the old family car for a new car and I've been in the CX-5 a couple of times. EDIT: I wasn't even aware there was a new CX-5 and also a new Volvo XC40 coming out before I wrote this, makes it a no-brainer imho. All of which is more spacious inside and in the back and now that Mazda has updated the interior this car is looking more and more outdated. Space though is the key word here because this car feels tiny inside. Until Audi release a new and bigger Q3 I dont think it deserves to be -shortlisted- like Matt suggests unless you are looking to buy used, I really doubt they sell a lot of these new nowadays. Sorry if my English is off in some places, i'm Scandinavian. :)

Hey guys I'm a bit grumpy that you always say the dealer can fit standard suspension. If you're going for a sportier sline version then one would expect sportier suspension. Otherwise just get the standard one. That's like saying a C63 is too loud and the dealer can fit a standard exhaust.

Finally. thanks a lot for doing the review! I ended up getting one. out of the 3 (q3, x1 & gla) this one felt brilliant. nice and roomy inside. and the light steering is awesome. The 1. 4 turbo petrol is simply brilliant! Also. mine does have a 12v socket in the boot; )

This car has another pair of blinkers bellow, to use hazard lights when you have your trunk open, but they're also cool because if you break those pulse blinkers, you don't have to install new ones (they're expensive af)

Basically a Volkswagen Tiguan. with an Audi badge on it with slightly different body panels. not to mention a much higher price! All manufacturers do this. Toyota for example. up sells you to a much higher priced. Lexus!

thanks for providing more info on the infotainment in another video: )
spyshots of the next q3 seem that audi is moving the q3 to a whole new level, and they should because the incoming BMW x2 seems to mean business

shame Audi. It's oldest interior. We have 2018 and no changes. It's like previous generation interior Audi A5.
I prefer to buy new A3 because it's same price and newest interior with technology

Is this the rubbish car that May was saying Is better inside than the Jaguar? How much you get paid each time to mention the scandalous toxic cheating German manufacturers like Audi and VW?

I like the size and shape of the Q3, but
I don't like the price and the placement of the lights at the rear.
The made all the lights on the trunk, so if you open it, there are no lights

I think this review really shows how pedestrian this car is compared to so many premium and less premium brands. But get the feeling plenty of (semi badge snob) mums will want one still.
