The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions

www.motor1.com The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions [Update]

The 2025 Audi A3 looks sharper and comes with more tech, but you will have to pay a subscription for some basic in-car features.

So far there's subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

I was considering an A3 for my next new car. Nope. Not anymore.
- I’m in my second Audi but it will be my last. This subscription shit should be boycotted.
  
  This subscription shit should be prohibited by law.
  
  The real problem here is that the FTC is failing to do its goddamn job.
  
  And, well, Congress mainly.
  
  Not only ftc, the eu is as well..
  
  In the US we used to at least be able to reply on CA to pass laws to prevent a lot of this shit, which ended up benefitting most of the rest of the country. But they've been real tolerant/lazy too.
  
  Such a shame tbh
- Same. I have an a3 tfsi-e and the adaptive cruise control is subscription based ( which i learned after i started leasing ).
  Last audi i will have.
  No vw brands, no bmw, no tesla. Who will i go to in 3 years? :/
