Hi Joe Thanks as ALWAYS , this one is what I’ve been waiting for ! I’m looking into this in the kyalami green / turbo blue ! Watching you test drive was pretty convincing, it’s ridiculously fun isn’t it !!!!
I've owned mine for 4 weeks now. I came from a Q5 and own a C5 RS6 too. The power is incredible given the vehicle's weight. Handling and agility is superb. Audi made a future classic here, especially as we go all electric. What a machine!!
@@black2fox1 only option on mine is Tango Red Metallic. So without tax, $60,000. Pretty close to base price. I was lucky that the dealer sold without mark-up to me
I love all your reviews and especially the one-liners about the pastries, keep it up! I traded in my 2018 RS3 but now I regret it, I’ve got a 2023 RS3 on order now, can’t wait!
That engine sounds simply awesome man , like a mini V10 or something , wow ! This thing sounds , handles and accelerates like a mini supercar . Great review man , keep'em coming , bye , bye !
I've been a Audi and vw tech for many year. i fell in love when i first did a clutch on a 1995 Audi urS6 which in Europe was called the 100, it was love at first gear! the 20v 5 cylinder turbo engine that they used in the past with the legendary Audi quattro, rs2 etc. is special! when i heard they revived the 5 cylinder i was super excited. RS3 is a beast of a car. with a simple tune and a down-pipe it gives the R8 a run for its money off the line. exhaust stock is quiet, there is no denying that but lets be honest, exhaust or down-pipe alone with a tune is what everyone does when they buy this thing straight out of the gate!! lmao the VAG extremely detunes their cars esp after that entire emission scandal lol
Maaaaaaaan Audi nailed this one!!! I will take mine in black out everything please please please!!! Oh my goodness!!! What a sweet ride!!! Onto that expedited Massachusetts bound transporter with this one, Joe!!! Excellent review as usual!! Y'all never ever disappoint!!!
They really nail the style of the RS3. I agree with you though, a 3rd pedal would complete the vehicle. I do have to disagree on the steering wheel. They have access to some dynamite choices. The RS3 deserves it. Great review and even better test drive.
Joe I appreciate genuinely a CZcams channel and a content creator that acknowledges their subscribers by simply showing signs of awareness at least in my eyes from what I see the difference makes a person genuinely feel a part of the channel it makes the post comment section a person's opinion in the time spent and as well as the support for the channel valuable and then return just to see a simple highlight or a like or acknowledgment it's rather got to give respect and thank you for the idea for a rather something I'm doing on my channel to understand it will take time and trial and error for sometime meanwhile even tell somebody that would truly understand the nature of the process and growing a channel from the scratch and I've been your subscriber for quite a while and perhaps perhaps this is why I get the results and my algorithm for suggestions for your channel every time over years to notice a fresh video hours when it comes out therefore I just assume as a amateur one of the CZcamsr this is how the algorithm really encourages the content creator to interact with the comments and likes and that's at least in my eyes brings up your channel up right away every time and I have over hundreds of other car channels with the same cars not only that I've got to give credit for credit is due and say as a man that's you came a long way
This was written by voice because my screen is not working really great to type so excuse me for a long looking novel but perhaps you have a chance to filter out what I'm trying to come across the message as I just open my phone literally 15 minutes after I watched the video and left the comments I came back to see how many views I got on my new video that I posted regarding the subject that I'm writing about right now and see the jewelry was already on top of technology subscribers commenting and I respect that also had to perhaps say how I see it because for me that's how it works out of many many car channels over the years since I can honestly say does the most actual feedback I've got from the actual channel so it would make sense from my CZcams algorithm to push your videos on top and with that idea as an amateur channel I am taking notes and will do some experiments and thank you for smiling my face cheers
Hi Joe, great review as usual! I notice that when I see a car for the first time in real life, it is usually smaller or bigger than I thought it is based on what I see on review videos. It may be great if you can park the car next to some other cars for comparison. Keep the videos coming!
This little car packs a punch. Compact sedan with 400 horses from a 5 cylinder is pretty potent. Imagine a manual transmission with this too. That would be a nice combo
@@yungmayo4037 manuals will always be fun. To row through your own gears its a lot of excitement. Any automatic are boring. It's all computerized there is no fun in that
@@mattmekhaeil I literally said u can do the same thing in a automatic my first car was a manual and I hated it I rather have a free hand only old heads like manuals more
In Europe and other markets outside of the Americas, we have the RS3 as a hatchback too. We have the sedan too. The hatchback competes with the Mercedes A45s AMG.
The perfect fun size Audi. Not as crazy about the new A3 interior design though. Performance of the RS3 is a mind blowing improvement. Might want to fix your title on this video though. It states "S3."
@@RaitisRides Just wanted you to get the RS3 views and not the more ordinary S3 ones. Both are great automobiles, however that 5cyl RS3 is in a league of it's own in comparison.
which rs3 saloon package is better? im having a hard time to decide , and i see they all have different interior feeling, im new to the sports car world any advise i dont mind paying for the full spec.
Audi saw the Honda Type R and saw inspiration to make this RS3 I guess lol it has those massive circle vents up front nearly identical to the old Type R
I take delivery of mine in about 1 month. It started being built a week ago, but I put the deposit down in early March. So unfortunately it's not one of those cars you can just go pick up on a whim. You need to order it WAY ahead of time. For one it's limited production so you need to wait for an RS slot at your dealership, but also because of the never ending supply problems.
Awesome joe!!! Did u notice something on the lights? If u didn’t know, here is what happens when u unlock the RS3. When u unlock it, on the light pattern at the front, it says RS3
its actually crazy the fact that u made this video. Ive been in love with the AMG CLA45 and recently admired the Audi RS3, and this video is perfect for me
Thank you very much, but it seems like it's difficult to get the Toyota Land Cruiser 300zx. I was hoping to see you hear you talk about it, because you're well spoken and I like how you talk about food and snacks Or don't you have it in the states yet?
I wish the US got the hatchback version.
Sad
I wish Canada got the RS3 at all
Hatchbacks look so ugly though
Same makes me kinda mad
@@zachattack327fr they look like mini suvs 🤮 sedans look way better
The RS3 responds very well to just a stage 1 tune too. It's crazy how fast this thing can get with just a flash.
There are people making crazy amounts of power with this car.
@@RaitisRides ecu is still locked on the new 8Y. Iroz has the previous 8V RS3 dialed up to 1,300+ horsepower. no doubt will have the 8Y cracked soon.
@@stealthhtm23 500 wheel and this thing may be an M3c killer.
@@JetDriver77 if that M3 C Xdrive isn’t tuned as well
@@TheDNAmusicGroup True, but then again there is that (at least) $20,000 gap between the two cars...

How much the RS3 cost you?
@@black2fox1 only option on mine is Tango Red Metallic. So without tax, $60,000. Pretty close to base price. I was lucky that the dealer sold without mark-up to me
@@mrglobul12 a very good price 👌🏼... in Saudi Arabia this car is cost more than 89000 USD
65k with technology package and sport exhaust for mine
How's ride quality for DD?
Man that looks great! Thanks for showcasing this Joe👌. Looks great in black too.
Thanks Joe for creating so much content!
I had an opportunity to drive one, and the way that torque kicks in around corners is insane. I knew you would love driving this one!! Awesome video!
Thanks Michael! I am so glad that you were able to experience it as well.
Have been looking forward to your review of this. Never disappoints. Love Audi and this car is super cool!!
That yellow with the black trim and paint stands out in the sun. They did a great job with this car by the way.
You are so right about that.
@@RaitisRides thank you
what tyres did u have on the rs3? thanks bud!@@RaitisRides
I use to own a S3 and it was really fun to drive. I can’t imagine how awesome this RS3 would be.
What year? I’m looking at a 2024 and I’m in love with it. Just waiting for my wife to come around.
get rid of wife @@luke2244

Wow I’m impressed Joe, great review sir and wonderful job to your camera man. Like the car too!!! Long time viewer first time comment 👍🏾
I've been a Porsche + Audi guy since 1979. I love those cars
Love this video Joe! Can you do RS5 sportback as well. Love what you guys do in this channel!
I will get that together for you Mustafa.
The interior yes Audi is killing it. Im loving the cockpit style set up with the Dual Screens.
Great job Joe ! Love it !
I’ve been wanting to test drive one of these for a while now and this review makes me want to even more
That's an awesome review! Keep it up!
Thanks brother! You got it!
This 22' Audi S3 sedan looks cool in yellow.
Terrific job with your content as always Joe.
Actually, it's an Audi RS3 but Joe forgot to add the "R" to the "S" to the title 🤷.
You are the man with the plan!
@@jonathansmith1590 It is all fixed now!

First of all, I`m in love with the Audi RS3, Second of all, Great review Joe✌ I love em, and third of all, I`m gonna get myself one
Great review! Can't wait to snag one for myself one day

Just picked up my 2023 RS3 in Turbo Blue.... Loving it, so glad I picked this over S3.
Great stuff Joe! I’d go RS3 in this comparison. Looks like a great car. I’d go blue in color. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Personally I’d love to have both. Yes I know they have different pros and cons against each other but I love cars and I’m a fan of both companies.
I like the way that you think!
@@RaitisRides I appreciate you saying that Joe.
Oh yessss....very beautiful and fast Lil rocket..
Sick paint job too
You hit the nain in the head!

For me bigger front tires is zonky. If just one size maybe ok but it’s 3 sizes bigger I think 🤔, guess no one can really tell though

It’s shorter than a Corolla
@@isimonsezIt's about the same exact size of the original A4 from like 20 years ago!
Nice auto with cool specs. Yellow looks sharp! Great in-depth review.
Can’t wait to take my delivery in 2023 😆 Great review…watching your video makes me feel the waiting time is even longer lol
Audi hands down got the best lighting ever
such a perfect car! great review as always
This little car packs a punch. Compact sedan with 400 horses from a 5 cylinder is pretty potent. Imagine a manual transmission with this too. That would be a nice combo
It really has a power punch!
Hell yeah, I’ll take this over to that new ugly m3 with the beaver tooth grille lol
No manual are old school and slow asf let the car do it’s thing if you want to shift use paddles I’m tired of people saying this

This car is so badass, the paint colors are beautiful. Dream car
It works with the black but I wouldn't choose this color...nice review as usual!!👍🙋♀️🙅♀️🙆♀️
I have a 2020 RS3 full bolt on, absolutely my fav car I’ve owned.
Been waiting on this one!
Great car. Great review! 👍
Such a good color! I wouldn’t personally pick it as my daily but I do really love it.
Hey love your vid’s and so happy I did this RS3 I want this car bad but yo may want to change the title of the vide you’re missing the R 👌🏾
Thanks brother!
Was waiting for this one 👍
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video lot real true and I love rs3 look good 👍

I think with that reaction while driving well, i'm definitely getting this one!!!
That performance looks bad ass nice!
Wow nice ride!
I love everything about this car. It's perfect
100% agree with you about the carbon fiber!!! Great review!!!
If you don't opt for the RS sport exhaust option, what exhaust does it come with and are the tips oval?
The Berlin Wall piece
I like the rear grill. Great contrast.
Audi saw the Honda Type R and saw inspiration to make this RS3 I guess lol it has those massive circle vents up front nearly identical to the old Type R
Beautiful colour💛
It is even better in person!
nice color combo, reminds me of my 2001 S4 back in day - except 21years neweer lol
Here's a man that is willing to stand in a hot asphalt parking lot in August in South Florida to bring us a great review. Legend!
He getting paid don't worry.
Very nice paint job on this! Hey, check out the smaller Audi A1! It’s not sold here but in Mexico and elsewhere they have it.
So Joe, how’s does it compare to the cla45? Which interior did you like more, which one handled better, was more responsive, which would you pick?
This RS3 is the way to go!
Wish the US got the Hatchback version of this car and this would be my dream car

I’m addicted to Raiti’s Rides
Joe this car is gorgeous and this car is on my new car list I think this car is just or better than the Mercedes CLA 45 amg excellent review
Great reviews as always, can you check and reconfirm the weight and 0 to 60 ...seems off from what's advertised ....
Like confirm them from the manufacturer website? I did.
just bought a new Navarro blue s3 a month ago, can't imagine how an rs3 feels to drive!
The beauty of the car is just so pleasing to the eyes
Probably my 2nd favorite RS in the Audi lineup right now, after the RS7.
Finally someone said something about the fake vents in the back. It looks awful.
Awesome joe!!! Did u notice something on the lights? If u didn’t know, here is what happens when u unlock the RS3. When u unlock it, on the light pattern at the front, it says RS3
You are very correct with that!
My favorite part of this car is when it says RS3 in the welcome/unlock lights. I rly rly rly want one 😣😫😍
One of the cars I hope to own! Gotta get through college first!
Man I loved this car since the first time you reviewed that i5 turbo
I am right there with you!
The front interior is perfect
its actually crazy the fact that u made this video. Ive been in love with the AMG CLA45 and recently admired the Audi RS3, and this video is perfect for me
That is so wonderful! Everything happens for a reason!
Thank you very much, but it seems like it's difficult to get the Toyota Land Cruiser 300zx. I was hoping to see you hear you talk about it, because you're well spoken and I like how you talk about food and snacks
Or don't you have it in the states yet?
The green is my jam
That looks really awesome as well.
The CLA45 has character and violence from the rear end which this car is missing. But still a great car
You should have 1mil subs already. It’s coming.
Functional Cooling and aero ducting is nice to see. Up front
This yellow is my most favorite color on this rs3 model
LOVE this color yellow!
Ride quality in comfort?
Got my allocation, can't wait for delivery!
Wow, you sold me on the official Audi Sport fingerprint cleaning cloth. 😄
You are awesome!
When can we see your car collection? Something tells me you have some nice rides.
Sure will Nick! Stay tuned!
I think it would look even better with the front grill color matched.
Ahh nice, this was the exact spec I was considering until I saw the new Type R
Car looks stunning in this color
Big time for sure Joe!
