    Its expensive, but surely one of the great engines under the hood, almost worth the price of admission alone.

    Nice shoes as well

    We love the pop-up MMI screen on our 2018 S3 and its one of the features that we preferred over the GLA or A4.

    I often drive my S3 with the pop up screen down.
    I rarely need it, it’s less distracting when it’s down, and has a sleeker look.

    • @sadsismint
      @sadsismint Před 5 lety +5

      on the RS you have the sports dash dial available though, so i like to have that set and then use the pop up screen for the sat nav. i prefer the pop up screen over the 'bolt on ipad' that you get in a lot of cars. although these days they are starting to integrate the screens far better into the dash. but the pop screen is still cool, i dont think that its dated.

    Lovely car.
    I predict in the future car manufacturers will charge a premium for "retro" analogue controls.
    I wish they would keep analogue controls. I am not a fan of touch screens in cars.
    Great review as always!

    • @leefoster8015
      @leefoster8015 Před 5 lety

      I agree, also, they try to convince us to pay extra for virtual cockpit to subsidise the intial development cost. In reality once this becomes the standard it will save them a fortune in the long run and date very quickly!

      It’s a great DD if you don’t have a lot of slow moving traffic.
      If you do, the S3 or S4 will suit much better.

    • @Zeruel82Mk2
      @Zeruel82Mk2 Před 6 lety +1

      The adaptive cruise control works extremely well with slow moving traffic. Just handle the steering wheel, and the car will do the rest.

  • @krishanray4606
    @krishanray4606 Před 7 měsíci +1

    A friend of mine brought an RS3 like this and they are very quick cars and definetly loud, the thing is i wouldn’t call the RS3 a hot hatch I’d rather call it a super hatch or a hyper hatch.

  • @tradingsgmail
    @tradingsgmail Před 6 lety +1

    Thanks Thomas. I did buy the S3 facelift after your review and I do have to say this S3/rs3 8v is the best built ever from Audi. The car is very fun to drive and easily maneuver at high speed. I personally really like the DSG fart as it really sending a signal to my brain that I am a car racer ( at that particular moment at least ). Also it’s a perfect compact family car which I did drive slow with my son while his bike is in the trunk.

  • @iantaf5559
    @iantaf5559 Před 6 lety +3

    Great review on a great car, Thomas. I hope that "twang" sound at 29:12 did not come from the car!! I agree with you that the S3 is a better option.

  • @McBeamer94
    @McBeamer94 Před 6 lety

    Well done Autogefühl!! This is the only hot hatch I like, along with the BMW M140i and the Ford Fiesta ST!!
    These seats look ace, although I'd like them to be available in alcantara with this rhombical stitching!
    The sports exhaust is definitely an extra feature to spec, and the extra carbon ceramics surely do reduce unsprung weight, along with the new aluminium engine block, so I feel its front end is going to be a bit more lively with the carbon ceramics!

    I really like this gentleman’s reviews - knowledgeable, interesting and covering important real world information that other testers omit. Most importantly, he doesn’t try to be a comedian, filling his reviews with puerile similes or childish theatrics. Clarkson / Matt Wilson (Carwow) please take note.

  • @leefoster8015
    @leefoster8015 Před 5 lety +2

    Fantastic review as always Thomas. Everything you could wish from a hatch minus the economy. I agree 100% with what you say about Audis pricing though. They still charge extra for electric mirrors and hill start. These things are now standard kit for performance Volkswagen. It does seem VAG milk the Audi brand somewhat.

    Nice shoes Thomas. Love your reviews and Autogefühl. As for the car alcantara seats are better ;)

  • @Zeruel82Mk2
    @Zeruel82Mk2 Před 6 lety +13

    You don't need an S3 to be comfortable, just get the magnetic dampers for the RS3, they are more than enough comfortable for everyday driving.
    As for the consumption, I usually get around 8.0 l/100 km when driving around 90% freeway and 10% city driving. Then if driven aggressively often, you could probably double that.
    Also, I'm 205 cm, and I sit/fit very good in the car, just move the seat all the way back and in the lowest position.

    • @duduabfuturo
      @duduabfuturo Před 6 lety +1

      correction. you dont need an rs3 cause its expensive af. you can have fun in the s3 too.

    • @Zeruel82Mk2
      @Zeruel82Mk2 Před 6 lety +3

      Dudu Slots & Blackjack Depends on how much fun you want to have ;)
      I tried in the Audi configurator to configure an A3/S3/RS3 how I personally wanted them and ended up with these prices (after the discount you can get on a new car here in Sweden): 46000 euro/ 55000 euro/ 62000 euro. And with a difference that small, it's not much to think about in my opinion.

    • @duduabfuturo
      @duduabfuturo Před 6 lety +1

      yea but i like to be realistic. prefer the s versions of all audis. better consumption..smaller engines wich means smaller taxes..plus the fact that in my country i dont even have roads or space to drive an rs.

    • @duduabfuturo
      @duduabfuturo Před 6 lety +1

      and again..i dont know about sweden. but here with 80k euros i can buy a small house. so yeah.

    • @Zeruel82Mk2
      @Zeruel82Mk2 Před 6 lety +1

      In what country do you live? In the part of Sweden I live in, you could buy a medium size house for that kind of money. The annual tax for an RS3 here is around 200 euro, and 150 for an S3, so it doesn't really matter. It's a bit more expensive at the gas station though.
