2019 Audi RS3 - Test Drive

[@seinsmeld13]

I now have a 2019 RS3. I love it. I also have a 2020 718 Spyder. If I had to pick one car it would be the RS3.

[@IGOTGAMEAJ]

It is so great to drive a car that very few people own

[@gladiatoralmousa5689]

I have it since a year almost every time I drive it I laugh . Because it’s beast and fun to drive. Only sedan look attractive 👌🏽💙

[@Wuudy123]

It’s a 18 model...the 19 has black antenna with black optic options.

[@GreggCesaroni]

I've had mine for a year now and my god it's amazing. I don't have many things to fault with it to be honest.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

I love these little audis

[@mmaworld552]

Picking mine up this week 😎💪👊😀😁

[@JustinAPTD]

rhinoskin extraboss had my 2018 for almost a year now and it still surprises me, it’s impossible to drive without a smile on your face

[@mmaworld552]

@@JustinAPTD i bet and i cant wait mate im waiting a week and then gettin a stage1 remapp from s.a tuning should take it from 400bhp to 480b bhp maybe nearly 500bhp 💪

[@JustinAPTD]

rhinoskin extraboss very nice lol you’re not worried about your warranty? I’m going to tune after mines up, but in the mean time I’m going to do cai, intercooler this year, get it ready for tune, my dealers ok with that these

[@mmaworld552]

@@JustinAPTD nah warranty is not a big issue for me i just act on impulse and get it done 😎

[@BaltimoreCaesar]

You're going to love it! If you are in the NA market, o yourself a favor and order set of OEM secondary cat-delete straight pipes from europe. They really open up the exhaust and are pretty cheap

[@seinsmeld13]

Thanks Graeme!

[@ldpy33]

Why did they take off 6hp???

[@seinsmeld13]

I have a new RS5 which falls well short of this car. While I was awaiting delivery of RS5 I took an RS3 and TTRS out for a ride. If I were able to get rid of my RS5 I would be driving this RS3.

[@grownsimba8120]

Think you would be able to live with the haldex version of the Torsen version? I know many people love the RS3 smaller size and tossing ability. But that is a genuine thing to look at. Not to mention I've heard that the RS3 s have had some differential issues when looking on Audizine. I do really like the RS3 though.

[@seinsmeld13]

@@grownsimba8120 I would put up with the AWD system. Not concerned with mechanical issues as I've always had great results with my VAG cars including my GT4.

[@grownsimba8120]

@@seinsmeld13 How long have you had the GT4 and what's the over stable of the car garage looking? Don't imagine you're dailying the GT4. Decent amount of Porsche owners don't seem to want to rack up the miles on their cars at least from what I see on the forums.

[@seinsmeld13]

@@grownsimba8120 I haven't had my GT4 too long. It will be my daily come spring. I have two other cars a 2018 TTS and my 2018 RS5. I don''t care about mileage on the GT4. I plan to keep that car and hand it down to one of my sons. Neither of my sons drive a standard so that may not occur.

[@grownsimba8120]

@@seinsmeld13 What don't you like about the RS5? I know a smaller car is more tossable but the RS5 is more of a long touring car which gives you the speed, acceleration and more comfort.

[@brunosalas4105]

audi rs3 2019? que no están cancelados temporalmente por el nuevo WLTP?

[@roblovestar9159]

Pricing and value for $ info?

[@leeamcc]

Getting mine next week!!!!

[@ARamzze]

Do you think the apr stage 2 is capable of 10’s on 93 octane , full weight ? Would love to see this pull with pump gas in the tank to see the difference !

[@BaltimoreCaesar]

No stage 1's are running 10's full weight without any other mods unless they are running downhill. Most people are running low 11's. Add a downpipe and/or IC and you are looking at mid-high 10's.

[@ARamzze]

Caesar I was talking about apr stage 2, not stage 1. There is a guy in Canada running stage2 unitronjc and he’s broken into the 10s on pump gas. I would think a APR stage 2 on 93 full weight with decent tires should be able to crack 10s. Just haven’t seen it yet.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

The rear looks like the last gen Elantra turbo

[@mshonhall]

Realtime Reviews You mean, the other way around... Elantras look like Audis... ;-)

[@andrewdavies6020]

I am in love

[@upbeatmantis86]

Sleeper? This audi rs3 is not considered sleeper anymore, everyone knows its capability. if they come across an rs3, they better have 500 hp to duel with it,

[@StrongerThanEver84]

most people dont know what it is.

[@alienabductor101]

No hatchback model?? 🤔 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@davidsmith-qu7pk]

Someone needs to report this car to Jagex for RWTing

[@Sttuey]

Correction, the Haldex system sends between zero and half the power to the rear wheels. Motoring journos eh. Tut!

[@Bebopin-69]

This is why i sold my fortified S3 and went back to true driving into an STI. Yes it is slower, less refined. But you at least get the satisfaction of actually driving it. And on snow it is WAAAYYY more fun than the heavily front biased systems in the small audis.

[@sappalajnen]

Not on the rs3... its like saying AWD can only send 50/50. There are variants of haldex too.

[@Sttuey]

@@sappalajnen Not.. what on the RS3? All variants of Haldex can only send 50/50, that's exactly it, no matter what vehicle, Haldex is Haldex.

[@sappalajnen]

@@Sttuey if the front wheels slip it can send up to 100 % to the back...

[@Sttuey]

@@sappalajnen if and only if - and that's not really "sending" is it. The mechanical power split is still 50/50.

[@jasonelliott8101]

Dam my 19 plate doesn’t pop and bang because of EU regulations

[@Viper-zp9vz]

Way too expensive. 63K, you are in Corvette, Charger 392, Mustang Cobra, Camaro ZL1, Challenger Scat Pack territory. Don't get me wrong I love Audi but 63K No Way!

[@xFlared]

None of those cars have AWD and a legendary group B 5 cylinder. Take off in this is consistent while the ones you listed will need to warm up tires and have perfect conditions.

[@gjtt]

Agreed a bit too pricey new but 3500 lbs is pretty light for a sedan with a unique engine, awd, and good interior. The Audi can ~match the ZL1 0-60 even with the 10-speed, but definitely fades at higher speeds. Also just a reflash/turbo inlet pipe (Stage 1) gets you 480 hp and 480 lb-ft, perfect for the street. This car was actually my second choice when purchasing , the ZL1 was first. The front ends even look kinda similar. The new 2022 STi redesign with 400hp will be a nice lower priced option to this car.

[@alexsvilla7962]

this car is worth everything unlike the rental cars you mentioned also the rs3 kills all those cars .
