  • In this video. I revisit the Audi RS3 Saloon to see what it’s actually like once you give it some proper stick. The results are pretty spectacular 🔥.
    Enjoy.

      In individual mode set engine/gearbox to auto, steering and quattro to whatever you like and engine sound to dynamic. Put it in drive instead of sport, select manual and it sounds fantastic lower in the rev range.

    Love that Viper green colour with the black pack..sexy! I find my S3 sometimes scares me with its B road covering pace..I suddenly see the speedo and get very nervous..dread to think how many months inside you'd get for driving an RS3 to its full potential!!😲

I love looking at the Audi S3/RS3 reviews (Shame they are all the sedan body, not the hatch, bigger fan of the hatch-shape imo) and I think you are the first reviewer that hasn't whined about understeer and the front feeling heavy in the corners. Big props to you for knowing how to drive the car *properly*.

    You have to tell everyone how you threw that sideways, Sid. Spectacular! For the life of me i can't do it, and end up 'correcting' what quickly feels like a bad idea to begin with. The car loves to stick to the road. Haven't seen anyone else make it drift like that.

    This review is 10/10. It's rare that you have someone actually talk about driving dynamics at 10/10th effort. For the real drivers.
    Most reviewers I think only go to 9/10ths. Even the big names on tracks.
