Engine sounds weird? Really? It’s a 5cyl, there is a reason why people rave about it. The I5 is a beast and sounds the part. Best small race car on the market hands down
@@ethantucker7934 by popular opinion in the automotive community and in the classic race car community. The Quattro I5 sound is one of the best/iconic sounds in motorsports..... Every true car enthusiast has gone through a period in their life binge watching Group B race footage on CZcams.....
@Rs3 Lee says the guy who literally insulted someone for saying "loans" lol Like congrats seriously but why did you get so upset so quickly over one word?
Fully loaded '18 rs3 here. Love every second in it. I have a feeling that the reviewer wasn't driving in dynamic mode, makes the car more responsive as well as changes the steering feel (more direct and heavy)
Love my 18 RS3! I ordered mine as soon as it was announced they were coming to the U.S. I'm about to hit 30k miles very soon. It doesn't get a lot of attention unless someone knows what it is.
Love the Rs3. Was over my budget. I got a 2020 s3 and did the apr ecu and tcu, along with a down pipe and intake. Produces around 400hp. Happy for now, but will def get a rs next time!
@Tony Camaj hi, I bought it brand new in 2020. Was a 2019 leftover. Wasn’t cheap I think 54k. But it’s the prestige package with every option, digital dash, red leather seats 19in wheels. I love it. I’m 6 foot 1 300lbs and fit fine. Also have a 2 year old. Her car seat fits fine. Only downfall prolly is u feel every bump, and I’ve gone though 3-4 tires hitting pit holes because of the 19inch wheels.
@@hebrewhammer8571 Damn Dude! Not for nothing, but I lucked out paying 38k OTD (53k options) for my 17 Premium Plus with every package (Carbon Fibre included) I feel like a CPO or low miles (14k for me) depreciation really is a sweet spot for these cars. I threw all that money into mods
Here in Canada they start at $65,600. I just bought a Kia Stinger GT Limited 3.3L twin-turbo AWD for $49,900 fully loaded - and it makes this RS3 look like an econo-bucket in every aspect. But hey...it has an Audio Quattro badge for the country club golf course crowd.
Good video however, you not liking the sound of the INFAMOUS RS 5 pot is criminal mate! Been in love with that sound since I was a kid in the 80’s watching the Quattro S1 in British group B rally! It’s perfection seconded only to the music of a V10!!
@Rs3 Lee Oh, that's new, mine goes down when you turn off the screen (i.e. the button in the centre console). Maybe the Aussie versions are different..
@Rs3 Lee mine is a MY2020 model with the unloved OPF filter. My guess is the US models’ screen stay up whereas our Aussie models are programmed to retract when the screen is turned off
It's a rally car or is supposed to be. I think they are just more expensive S3's and not optioned as well as the A4 or A3. But they are quick and lots of tuners love them. At the Nurburgring, you see quite a few. They apparently don't understeer like a lot of cars do, especially BMW'S.
You’ve got no idea what you’re taking about buddy 🤦♂️ First of all they’re no rally car or anything close. It’s a shitty FWD based haldex AWD system. This makes them famous for understeering. Literally the opposite is true for the RWD BMWs. I don’t know what you’re taking about but everyone knows BMWs shit on Audis around a track.
It's amazing how a year ago I used to watch every RS3 video I could find on CZcams. And now after owning one for a little under a year now, I'm so used to it. Still love seeing it but it's definitely different. Nice video.
@@marvo9018 Sound is absolutely the best part. The 5-cylinder revving itself and the exhaust note. I love the fact that I can go between comfort and have really light steering for a long drive or "dynamic" if I want to do some aggressive cornering. It's great for what I use it for which is highway mileage eating on my commutes to work during the week. Though due to its nature, it's not an absolute canyon Carver. You do feel some push in the corners if you don't line it up well. Just the nature of the platform. Originally wanted an RS5 Sportback, but the RS3 really caught my eye. 718 GT4 is next on my list.
@@grownsimba8120 Totally agree. Once I get it I’ll mod it to make around 500 wheel hp nothing too crazy and then later on FBO E85 etc. These cars have an exhaust note like no other and the engine is the best part of this car.m, but also all the things that come with this car make it really amazing. I can’t wait to get one of my own💯
@@marvo9018 love the sound of these! I love my STi for its sound and AWD, but this also sounds unique and just as mean. I would miss driving stick though 😩
Maybe super random, but I have always thought that that red trim on the air conditioners are terrible looking. Gives me a cheap BRZ vibe I just don’t like it. Everywhere else it has red looks fine. Just personally not a fan of it on the ac
Weird sounding???? Whuut. Audi's 5 cylinder sounds beautiful
Best sound ever................
Right, literally sounds like a mini V10 .. which it is

@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo I was being sarcastic I’d kill for an RS3 lol best sounding cars
He sounds weird
Its because he's american he has no clue lol
Titles the video “Is It Worth The Money” then never discusses cost...
@Rs3 Lee loanssss...
@Rs3 Lee Nope but you get butt hurt pretty easily
@Rs3 Lee when did you buy? What year?
@Rs3 Lee to buy it cash no loans dats so tight real man boss moves dat my goal to get to that point! Congrats! 🔥

theyre really the perfect car
Beautiful car comfortable to drive.
Yup! Love that it’s a sleeper
I can't stop driving it. I picked it up at 13k miles and have gotten to 24k since beginning for 2020. And I didn't even have a commute lol.
Meeting a suttle but 100% 'drivers car' on the street will always warm a gearhead's heart. Best wishes to you and your RS3.

This man really said an Audi 5 cylinder sounds weird....lol
He is the weird one, not the car.
RS3 is one my my fav Audi models. Second to best sounded Audi car
Audi cars have great tech and the RS-3 is a clean Audi with that sick color and good video

Exactly!! The sound other than the power is the reason most people get the rs3!!
The RS3 is perfect for when you want a VW Golf R but want to make the neighbors extra jealous.
The Golf R has a 5 Cylinder ?
@@jwall1768 I wish
Great video Ben the Audi looks nice
Geez, after your ride, is it worth it to go from an S3 to RS3?
I love the infotainment system on the rs3. I did not know they came out with the rs3. Cool car overall :)
@Rs3 Lee wish they kept the PFL retractable infotainment

This car sounds like an Audi R8 v10
I wonder how much altitude and octane affects the car’s performance.
It's a cool car, i love it, i could say that is my favorite daily car
Audi RS3 is Like a Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody
...but much slower and sounds like a Honda civic.
Civic? Few mods the rs3 craps on anything
@@agentmuzz would atleast take a hellcat off the start
kinda wish the stitching matched the nardo grey, inside looks like it wants to be a GTI with the red. obv dif seats, but it reminds me of that.
How they gonna put manual adjusting seats in an RS model. I mean it's probably for weight saving? but like really does it make THAT much difference?
Love the tour of the Audi
I have a 2017 a3 s line. I really wanted an rs3 but cant quite afford one yet. Someday i would want an s8 tho one of my dream cars.
I love the perfect size of this beauty.
It's a rally car or is supposed to be. I think they are just more expensive S3's and not optioned as well as the A4 or A3. But they are quick and lots of tuners love them. At the Nurburgring, you see quite a few. They apparently don't understeer like a lot of cars do, especially BMW'S.

Agreed. Car is overpriced for what it brings to the table.
Paying a premium for the EA855, plus the RS badge.
Always bothers me that the R’s have the dual oval exhaust. I think the quad tip on the s3 looks way better.
Who else wants a rs3 and can’t find one
I wanted one so bad but I can't find one in my region....going to wait for the 2022 I guess
It's amazing how a year ago I used to watch every RS3 video I could find on CZcams. And now after owning one for a little under a year now, I'm so used to it. Still love seeing it but it's definitely different.

How much do you enjoy the car?

I love that this model exists but the sedan version compared to the hatchback never looked right to me, i hope the next gen model is more attractive
Nah the RS3 hatchback is ugly af. The small sedan shape looks so much better
Looks fun! But I wouldn’t put it above or close to the R8 😆
It’s like half an r8🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@BenHardyCars it technically is half an r8 as the engine is made in the same factory as the r8 and Lamborghini v10s
@Rs3 Lee what’s your Instagram want to see more of your car
I hate how it doesn’t have automatic seats. A travesty for such an expensive car.
Audi fs3 beautiful car love the color on the Audi built a awesome car
Gonna get the new one ....2023 gen tho!
Orem, UT?
that beamer got smoked lol
8:06 I saw you put that in D
I think RS3 probably has least depreciation of any car, seriously 18 models with 20k miles are still going for 60k and its a 65k car dammmmn.
TTRS
@@DeeJayAdverb Nope 18 ttrs with low miles are going for 60k same as rs3, but ttrs have higher msrp.
My dream car
Be good if the person reviewing a car knows about cars...
I Love It!!!
This dude needs to check his facts before he reviews cars
Can you review the Turbo Mazda 3?
Check my mazda playlist
Where is this beautiful location?
Colorado!
@@Rachman01 I have to visit it one day. thank you!

I disagree I Think it gives off a retro race car look and vibe
It’s only expensive if you’re poor
Where is this location?
Colorado!
Make videos for only expensive cars . Then only you can get more views
also, reminds me of a better motor Golf R with worse infotainment system, but better seats(debatable)
Very sarcastic and negative review. If you don't like something about a car, you can still say it in a positive way.
The interior and features are absolutely trash for the cost
Hello!
🇮🇳 cool
First
Overkill with the red stitching 🤮
