FIRST LOOK | 2022 Audi S3 Review - Interior, Exterior w/ Revs

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

Pretty cool, but having that 5th cylinder makes a huge difference 😎

[@juliocampos6703]

Im in the edge of ordering one, but this thought is holding me back. I’m between a fully loaded s3 or a base rs3. Currently have a 2020 a3.

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

@@juliocampos6703 I’d go for the RS3. One of the best cars available at the price range imo.

[@yaboibakalli]

Oh yes, the 5 banger is one of the best engines ever

[@brightsydebill8410]

Trading in my sti for the new rs3, I’ll miss the 3rd pedal but the rs3 just looks and sounds so good

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Welcome back mate! Good to see you uploading videos again. Quite a bit has changed here while you were gone. I now have my very own CLA45s on order due to arrive next month! Can't wait to pick it up and film the whole delivery. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing some new videos from you. 👍

[@yaboibakalli]

Thanks mate! Congrats on the order, you will love it!! Excited to see your videos

[@ABAUTOAMG]

@@yaboibakalli Thanks! Can't wait for it to arrive. Just invested in a a7siii too so hoping to film some really clean footage :)

[@liamhunter2403]

Nice choice in car. The CLA45s is gorgeous

[@edwolf0082]

I just discover your channel a few days ago , your montage quality is super smooth to listen to! Looking forward to your next video !

[@ridinglavish]

Glad to see you back, actually decided to get my cla45 about 5 months ago thanks to some of your videos. Couldn't quite pull the triggers but your reviews helped me otherwise. Hope you keep making content.

[@yaboibakalli]

Thanks man I appreciate that! Enjoy your cla45 in good health!

[@blendbardhi1362]

Very good review! Im convinced and i would buy it. You’re a good salesman!

[@yaboibakalli]

Thanks!

[@Jdnicks00]

Audi should offer the flat steering wheel in the S and RS? Please

[@yaboibakalli]

I think it’s because of certain packages

[@jonathanlee3945]

I have an A4 now...and it has some nice LED accent lighting on all 4 doors and along both sides of the center console. Does anyone know if the new S3 has anything like that?

[@yaboibakalli]

Yes it does

[@Arnon_Har_Lev]

Good looking car. The shifter tho needs to be wider, you're right. All in all, seems an amazing car for a very reasonable price. Won't attract too much attention, which is also good. Always better to be incognito.

[@yaboibakalli]

True! It’s a good looking car even more so in person

[@titwoske]

I like the little slow motion edit video of the surface your going over makes big diffrence and it shows a more up close view great job 👍

[@nikuslourens655]

Glad you're back man

[@yaboibakalli]

Appreciate it!!

[@AOI1601]

Which trim is this ? Is it S3 komfort ,progresiv or technik ?

[@Will-dm9lc]

best looking s3 so far

[@yaboibakalli]

I agree

[@Matty767]

I’ve got an RS3 on order at the moment. The volume control is very reminiscent of the old Apple iPod days and the big touch pad click wheel to scroll through songs and adjust volume!!

[@Liam-ub5gj]

Congratulations on the rs3 that’s one expensive car. My dream car one day

[@yaboibakalli]

Congrats! I want one so bad

[@crazycowdogs9830]

I thought there was still two round gauges on the digital dash

[@yaboibakalli]

You can change it to do that!

[@crazycowdogs9830]

@@yaboibakalli As far as I can tell you can’t. I think all you get is the hockey stick gauge. Maybe it depends on what display you option, idk. Either way this car is pretty sick.

Wish the Sportsback version was available here in US.

[@yaboibakalli]

No it will not

[@pokerfred68]

Still no vent seats or heated wheel. Cmon Audi. Beautiful update.

I think it has a heated wheel iirc but not vent seats

[@crphoto303]

No more flat bottom wheel?

[@yaboibakalli]

You can get it still

will the US ever get a sportback rs3?

It’s available now!

[@jimmy8693]

whens RS3 coming to US?

[@yaboibakalli]

Nobody knows at this point

[@garteaga482]

Surprised to see there is no ventilated seats or heated steering wheel esp considering the Golf R is going to have both those features as standard.

[@liamhunter2403]

The new golf R seems like it's going to surpass the new S3 in terms of performance and features. Very interesting since it seemed like Volkswagen was holding the Golf R back to make a difference between the S3 and Golf R.

[@garteaga482]

@@liamhunter2403 I agree. I guess it helps some for all those 'you paid $45k what for a golf?' people. some will always snub their noses I guess. I'll take fun to drive, performance and features over the name though.

[@liamhunter2403]

@@garteaga482 Lots of name brand people out there. People will opt for the Audi just to say they have an Audi and not a Volkswagen haha. I'm the same as you, I would choose the performance over the name brand.

[@yaboibakalli]

They must have to differ it somehow, explains why the Sportback doesn’t come here. Golf Rs are going to be so hard to find, I already heard the ones on the lot have insane markup

[@thomashelyard206]

Yeah the Premium pack gives you the the normal wheel not the flat bottom because it has all the tech on it like the adaptive cruise control

[@yaboibakalli]

Makes sense!

[@ashiathomas1020]

So you can upgrade to red interior?

[@theckasher4452]

would this be a suitable for a family?

[@ItsShayy]

Why nobody include the price in the description for these cars

[@CashMoneyKC1]

Nice review. I had a 16 S3. Now a SQ5 and I ordered a 22 S4. I’m near you in Philly you ever come to any local cruises or meets around the area? Or Delaware even?

[@zunith5692]

No flat bottom steering wheel?!? 😔😭

[@yaboibakalli]

Cause of the package included on it!

[@dfk09]

Great review! The taillights look like the Jetta GLI though. I guess that's not surprising since they are somewhat related. This car is on another level though.

[@yaboibakalli]

Yeah it is pretty close since they are from the same family!

[@DRE2XL]

Great video man, really enjoyed it, I'm due to get an S3 next week, obviously I'm excited so came to KZbin to get a preview beforehand haha, I had an A3 Sportback S Line early last year so assumed the S3 will be more of the same internally anyways. 🇬🇧

[@michaelschneider-]

..... And the exterior color is?

[@strongrider3446]

Sadly the new rs3 won’t come to North America because they disapproved the 5 cylinder engine 😢

Yeah the wheels look very Jetta like. New RS3 wheels are amazing

[@joelcazares9986]

Except for the pop out screen, the old one looks a lot better inside and out.

[@coolman4202]

Can you spec an a3 to look like this s3?

[@danilo9642]

I think you can and it’s cheaper it’s literally the same interior exterior

[@yaboibakalli]

It would be similar but you won’t get the front fascia or the exhaust pipes or the interior stitching etc

[@blue-ck9ns]

I wish it came in a hatch. That's why I like the Golf R better.

[@diecastmodelsnbeyond6354]

🇺🇸Front lights are ok but taillights nope. More like the older ones. Soon Audi will introduce facelift so hopefully taillights be changed.

Damn... Audi got rid of the flat bottom steering wheel for the S model. Looks better built than the cheap crappy CLA45.

ur joking right? That Audi is cheap af compared to the cla looks wise and quality wise

[@ricetea1]

@@Zain-tr2vo I'm not. I had a 2020 CLA45 and it was garbage. I lemon lawed that PoS and got an extra 5K on top of what I paid for it. My lawyer got 17k for his work. Why would MB buy the car back? They will lose in court. They know the CLA45 is still a crappy car. I have a Q7 and had an S5. Audi is much better built and quality in my opinion.

[@Zain-tr2vo]

@@ricetea1 okay thats fair but in my experience being in a cla 250 and the a3 the cla wins by miles. Engine is more responsive, interior is leagues ahead (not anymore) and the feel of everything is just better.

[@davidgolf3245]

I am looking for the 22 S3, but dealers are asking 56k for them!!!! For that much I'd rather buy a Porsche Cayman. I don't have stupid written on my forehead.

[@M3thDan]

I have a 2018 Ara Blue S3 Facelift with digital dash, honestly the 2019 models & older are much better than the new 21/22 models. New models have GPF which make the car so quiet plus it reduces power! Also getting a 2019 model or before means you have a lot more options on aftermarket exhausts like milltek which is currently on my S3 along with body kits / parts ETC. But yeah, for 56k your better off getting something else :)

[@yaboibakalli]

Prices are going crazy nowadays

I have an M2 now, but my previous car was a S3. I can’t believe how much worse this interior is. No damn shifter? Plus the circular vents are gone, which I loved. So is the flat steering wheel, and I actually loved the display on the last one, because you could hide it when not using it. It gave the interior a cleaner feel when it was hidden I’m super bummed. I was considering going back to Audi

[@AldoFelt]

4 more thousand dollars and you can get a porsche 718 cayman. Too much for an Audi. my opinion.

[@yaboibakalli]

Yeah it’s a bit pricey for an A3 class. New RS3 is going to hit $80k

[@lugo4277]

Very plastic-y looking like a Honda with those rear panels and front grill

Well it is 10000 dollars more and 0 to 60 4.1 seconds while the S3 is not a slouch at 4.29 seconds I got launch control . So ya 10000 dollars less for an S3 it worth it
