2018 Audi RS3 8V vs 2006 RS4 B7 - Is 3 the new 4?

In my last video with the Audi RS3, I compared it with a pre-facelift S3. Now I'm going further back into Audi's past and comparing it with perhaps my favourite RS car - the B7 RS4.
Although a decade separates these two cars, on paper they're quite similar - both cost around £50k new, both have 400+ bhp, drive all four wheels and come in blue. But how far has the junior model come, now it is the same size as the old 4?

As a new B7 RS4 owner this video really piqued my interest, and seeing that it's being compared to new fast Audis I'm happy to see that it is still relevant and THE benchmark for all-weather performance cars. Thanks for a great conversation and two great reviews guys!

[@porkster5924]

I love my RS3 and as for that 5 pot sound it’s just superb. I’d love to own an RS4 but I’d go for the Avant instead.

[@FourRingsAuto]

currently rebuilding the engine on my b7 rs4 due to the previous owner spinning a rod bearing. not a common failure, but definitely an expensive one. I will upload the repair to my channel once it's finished.

[@aukanmeister]

Emotional connection is hard to explain. The V8 is magical in that regard. It sounds awesome. The gear shifts are as perfect as you ever got from a manual. Handling is really predictable and with a sensible brake upgrade, it really is pretty good even today. The shocks are a letdown, but aftermarket KW shocks are a great alternative. I find it hard to beat for a daily sportscar even today.

[@lancegallant3647]

agreed fully bro !!! My favorite car ever my b7 rs4 looooooooooove it

[@karlsumner5594]

It’s got to be the V8 hasn’t it? RS4 B7 is a classic. I had one for 3+ years and loved it.

They are awesome

[@New777Wine]

Thought so, thank you :)

[@ColinDyckes]

Good, but not awesome IMO. I have a 2019 S3 Sportback Black Edition with the Supersports seats as fitted in the RS3. They are severely lacking in lateral support compared to my Porsche sports seats. Really needs Recaro CS seats at about 3K and mine may well get them.

[@New777Wine]

@@ColinDyckes Nearly 2 years late to the party. The supersport seats in your S3 are not the same as the RS4 wingbacks in this vintage FYI

[@ColinDyckes]

@@New777Wine I was comparing the RS3 seats which are the same as in my S3. Agreed the RS4 wingbacks might be better, though they don't seem to have any more lateral support, hence why I'm considering Recaro CS seats. I'm late to the party because I only bought my 2019 S3 last October 😀 and was just wondering if the RS4 was significantly better. It is, but not for the cost of trading up to a new one, plus the S3/RS3 is a perfect size for my use. I believe Audi supply the Recaro CS in the black with red stitching, but at something like £500 each as opposed to 300-350. They WOULD give the true bucket seat support that I'm used to with my Porsche sports seats!

[@Chrissy-H]

[@rxndncndndnd1078]

The B7 is definitely one of the best saloons to ever exist, the solid feel, build quality & engine noise is almost second to none. I feel as though the RS3 is boring compared to how engaging the RS4 is to drive. Not bashing the RS3 as it's a fantastic car, the 5 cylinder is intoxicatingly fun to drive, especially in the new TTRS, which I had too much illegal fun in, but the mechanical whine and the burbling of the V8 and the 8k redline while bombing it past everyone is too satisfying.

Interesting video .. I have a sprint blue B7 avant and happily stand back and admire it when I step out of it ( sad but true) .. and I absolutely love it .. cruises on the motorway with ease ... does like a bit of fuel but if you cruise gently which it does very well then not too bad but what do you expect... I haven’t driven the newer ones but like those aswell ... going back to the B7 I’ve read that they may increase in value due to them being the last of the manuals .... cheers 🥂

[@jonestell1970]

So agree about steering wheels and seats. Fav was Alfa 156 Ti. Why do all modern ‘sports’ cars have such thick rims and over high bolsters!? Yet no shoulder support.... love the RS4!

I have a 2019 RS3. It is by far the best car I have ever owned and I have a 2020 718 Spyder. Too bad we won't be receiving the 2022 RS3 here in Canada. You can't have everything in life.

[@marcstreiff6067]

I own a B6 S4, this makes me biased for the platform coupe of the S4 upgraded to the RS4. The RS3 for me would not appeal, however the TTRS would. Similar motor but for me the esthetics of the TTRS win over the RS3. Then the ultimate would be the B7 RS4 in avant form which when remembering the RS2, the avant grocery getter is the only one. Thanks for the review, nice job. But of course us yanks never could get the B7 RS4 in avant form. The closest I've gotten ws my friend Dan Gray's complete RS4 conversion from a B7 S4 avant.

[@lancegallant3647]

b7 rs4 if u can find a nice one 👍 😮❤🎉fuckin love mine bra

[@thewatchman1078]

Excellent review; RS4 is staggering value on a budget and what about the S button ?

[@alexandermarothy5004]

The timing chain issue is only a problem in the B6/B7 S4. The RS4 has aluminum chain guides where as the S4 has plastic. I agree that turbo chargers help with the torque values. The only reason the RS4 has such low values is because it has a flat plane crank. It allows the engine to rev very high, but the torque output is usually low without boost. Add a supercharger and you can dip into the 700hp range out of the RS4. The RS5 has the same V8 motor, but with a different tune. Upgrade to the RS5 tune and you now have 450hp and 340 lb-ft.

[@thatsjustme1990]

Thoughts on the rs4s value in 5/10 years time?. Right now they seem pretty cheap £10k for “not the best” example and £15k ish for a decent one. Drove one today and realise how much I love that older car feel. Manual box and heavy none electronic steering... yes plz. But need to justify this purchase to the wife haha

Rs3 is nice but in my opinion the best hot hatch that money can buy is the mk2 focus rs. Save £25000 on the price of an rs3. Instead of the rs4 buy a vxr8. 6.2 v8 and a proper v8 rumble. Beautiful car.❤️

[@douglasb.5601]

Both lovely cars. I think I'd go for the manual RS4..can't beat a manual box for driving pleasure. I have a Macan S (PDK only) and my wife has an S1 (manual only👍)....much prefer driving the S1..to the point that I'm going to sell my VX220 which I've owned from new and swore I'd never sell..the S1 gives me 75% of the pleasure and doesn't have to be pulled out of the garage on a sunny day. A manual gearbox just involves more...and I feel they are just more predictable at tricky junctions/roundabouts. Shame about the new RS4 only coming with that ZF Auto...🤔

[@voivod6871]

I know what you mean about manual v auto but the ZF8 on my M-lite is totally predictable specially compared to the DCT in my daughters Audi which is an abomination.

[@douglasb.5601]

Voi Vod I have to say, the DSG in my wifes previous car (Fabia VRS) was either all or nothing. I found the only way to drive it was to stick it into sport as you approached roundabouts to make it wake up...then quickly put it back in normal mode or it revved off into the distance like a 17 year old boy racer in a 1 litre Saxo!😁 The ZF 8 speed box is meant to be very good so it's good to get your 2penth worth on it. Thanks👍☺ Maybe I need to take an RS4 for a test drive...could be expensive though!!

[@arteljus983]

The new A1 look a lot better than the old one. On the inside and outside. S1 is coming next year with 4 cylinder engine, 250Hp and Haldex 4-wheel drive. I want one!

👨🏻‍🌾Audi Partners were you racing them contraptions by my tractor 🤣 I have had similar variations to both cars reviewed. And in my humble opinion it’s testimony to RS4 that a decade on it can be compared with the new RS3 if you begin to look at any reviews on 10 year old Audi 3s it’s all about the Bam Bam 💥 engines etc which I have to be honest were ok but not game changers. Audi had the 5 cylinder format in the late 80s early 90s with the Quattro and the 2.2 coupes and they are legendary. Rally winners and it was many seasons for anyone to come up with an answer to the 5c Turbo Power the Audi’s made. And then they went away from that 🤷🏽‍♂️and lost. I hope 🤞 they can regain some of the best years in Motor sport again. I mean with the working class heroes of course- touring Car-Rally cars etc it keeps things more interesting 🙂 we all know the success of the R8s but unless most of us have Pablo Escobar as our employer it’s just not going too happen.and that’s from a BMW guy 👍🏽

I've no doubt it's a brilliant video - but at that length, I'm just going to have to pass. Sorry. :(

[@JayEmmOnCars]

As much as I enjoy short YT videos myself, I feel that if we made a ten minute video you'd learn nothing that you don't already know. Why not put it on in the background on the way home and listen to it as a podcast?

RS3 or M140I 🤔

[@Antero94]

The RS4 has less torque down low because torque is electronically limited to 50% from gears 1 - 3.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

You sure about that?

[@Antero94]

I've read it on multiple forums. From 1 - 3 gear below 5k rpm I believe it was. However, some say that it doesn't matter as the engine isn't capable of sucking in enough air at that point to begin with, so 50% is essentially "100%" of what the engine can produce at those levels.

[@jutjub22]

@@Antero94 Exactly, just it is not torque that is limited. Throttle plate is limited to open to 50% in those rpms, so you have better control of the gas pedal (better resolution, doubled), but seems if you open it 100%, you get the same power/torque in those ranges as you said... Reason is, if you press gas pedal halfway, and you removed this limitation, you already at the full throttle. That's how I understood it.

To me dual clutch cars are rubbish. For that reason, 2006 RS4 all the way.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Why are they rubbish?

[@garoarabian3017]

@@JayEmmOnCars no soul or character. I've driven my friend's APR stage 2 golf R mk6, arteon Ri line and c63s amg coupe, yeah they're fast cars but they're very dull and boring. Nothing like my EVO 8 MR where i can press a clutch and bang the gears

Haldex. No.

lose some weight dude, and my compliments to the rs4 owner, it looks mint

[@DNoneya-co5wi]

F audi for making the RS3 bc: (1) it's pointless making a beast like this as an automatics. If you're going to drive an auto sportscar, it might as well be a self-driving tesla. All you do is steer and brake anyway, & and there is little sport in that. (2) WHY put such a beast of an engine in a damn suburban STATION WAGON!!

[@aj63]

became very bored after 3 mins. Well done for making car reviews so mundane.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Thanks. It's a shame you didn't stay for the bit with the fireworks and the topless dancers

[@jamesthomson3511]

Who's reviews do you prefer out of curiosity? Archie Hamilton? Just trying to guage if you're older than 10 😂

[@mysteryshopper7296]

Comparing the v8 RS4 with a 4 cylinder - smells like you’re being scammed doesn’t it 😆

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Five Cylinder

Did they invent car reviews?
