I HAVE TO SELL MY 4 MONTH OLD RS3!

[@donatusmaccarthy1505]

I can’t remember when was the last time I’ve listen to a straight forward consumer review. I really enjoy your video. Straight to the point with no over talking and editing. I liked it a lot!

[@EVILGT]

Thanks very much 👍🏼

[@vincentmioc8966]

Got mine 6 weeks ago and drove 2000 kms with it. Agree with all the negative points especially the interior plastics and the noise you get in the doors when playing the music a bit too loud. Other than that, great ride.

[@nicolemorgan4201]

I drive a7 the prestige package and I also have rattling in my doors so I'm thinking it's just an Audi thing it absolutely drives me nuts sometimes I constantly am asking other people if they hear it. 🙃

[@timothyivatts]

I saw this shape in the bright blue on the motorway yesterday and got to say it looked a lot better on person than vids and pics make it look. Think the colour really helped

[@passchallenge]

Alot of people judge cars from the internet and their jaws drop when they see them in reality

[@Ersy90]

I still got the 2016 rs3 with pano roof, its a blast, every day its a damn blast to drive.

[@adammorley6571]

Crazy to hear this. I’ve always dreamt of having an S3. Managed to purchase a new one 2022 plate. Obviously it’s fast enough. But… The creaks from around the cabin is horrendous. I had a 2018 a3 before this and it was solid, never made a noise. Also the Bang and olufson sound system was something I regretted not specking on the A3. So when I went for the S3 it was must. Stepped out of the A3 with the audi sound system into the S3 with B&O, turned it up, door cars rattle, to the point you have to turn it down. Absolutely crazy how Audi have let this poor quality sneak in. I paid 40k for thr s3, and it rattles around like an old corsa. Once you have done a few launch controls and played around with the led lights, you realise Audi have cut too many corners with these runs. 👎

[@slen6293]

You getting a lot of creaks and rattles in your new S3? Where are they coming from out of interest? I was tempted by the new S3 but the build quality talk is putting me off. Would you say it is still a good car?

[@adammorley6571]

@@slen6293 it’s a lovely Car don’t get me wrong. It’s impressive and looks the part. The look of the interior is leaps above the last model. Specially the ambient light package. Although the noise of the engine is pumped in through the speakers it is done clever and sounds good. It’s just the overall quality of the build. More scratchy plastic in this then the last model. And they just creak over bumps and rough roads etc.. obviously the music being loud drops you hearing this. However, even the B&O system I have can’t be turned up to loud as it vibrates the door cars and make them rattle. It’s obviously all because the quality is lower. It’s a shame really. But if I could go back, would I buy it again? Of course I would it’s a lot of fun.

[@brendonv101]

If it makes you feel better, my 2017 FL S3 had door card rattles from the B&O system as well. The little thin chrome trims are the culprit. I disassembled the door card and tightened all the screws and it fixed it. Must have been a Friday job.

[@rebelxx4318]

Three letters BMW😊

[@MistaBrown420]

@@adammorley6571 First off s3 8v had the soundaktor as well as the 8y. Both can be easily turned off using OBD 11 and the sound of it makes a rattle eventually so it's a must have to turn it off. I've sat in 8v and 8y the 8v steering wheel is not as nice as the 8y and if you get the 1000 seat option for the 8y its muchhhh better than the seats in the 8v. Sure there is plastic but the cabin is well insulated and I think people just nit pick and complain about wayyyyy too much when it comes to cars they tend to be VERYYY biased. I love that people who probably haven't even been in both cars like to make comparisons and hate on the later.

[@teamscoobydoo]

Maybe Audi will fix these known issues in the later iterations of the 8Y RS3. I had a 2020 RS3 8V (USA) and the rattle would come from the sunroof; to remedy it you had to fully open the sunroof to adjust and tighten the two torx screw on the hinges but even then it would still rattle a little. I permanently fixed it by buying a brace and replacing the cheap flimsy factory brace underneath the car.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Thanks for the review, it was actually really bloody good. You went through as many things as possible, quickly, without any bro' science or silly descriptions & big words for the sake of it. A review for simpletons like me, thanks Ben :-)) I'd have one in a heartbeat, but it does seem to lack a lot of quality for the massive price tag. Very capable, very fast, very good handling, but it just lacks soul.

[@kanedavenport8419]

[@SweBun]

I really like the 8V more. This model looks more like a Skoda than an Audi.

[@lawriemanc]

Agreed, and a lot of Skodas look so much nicer than this. Skodas are better looking than Audi nowadays

[@garynorman]

Great honest review, and the production of the video is top bollox 👌🏻

[@ROUTEPLANNERPAUL]

Car vertical is crap,, I've got a car been registered as a taxi for the last 5 years ,registered with South lanarkshire Council (Hackney taxi licence) its a skoda and its been a taxi since it was brand new ,done a car vertical check and it came back as never been a taxi ,,, so car vertical not so good can we really trust car vertical about the rest of there checks they do ,, I've written away to them still waiting for an answer after 4 months .

[@nectafarious8842]

Not just the top end Audis. My wife has a 2019 150bhp A1 S-line and the suspension is ridiculously hard. It wasn't possible to get a more compliant set up with the S-line and the dashboard noises are a real pita. It's only got 15k on it and it still rattles like an old Mini. Main dealer didn't want to know even under warranty - too much time involved to find the problems.

[@coastalrider1155]

Brilliant video mate your nice and comfortable on camera now well done and can’t wait to see the new car

[@DarkHorse-ov7dr]

I like the new RS3. The interior does look shit compared to the previous model. I personally don't believe the red / green or a rainbow 'any colour' interior would make it feel any better if the build is cheap! As adding colour doesn't change the build quality. Its like they know, since its the last 5 cylinder combustion engine, people will go ahead & buy a shit built interior car for just the pleasure of driving it, not at 60k, fuck that.

[@moriascapula]

Interesting comment about the stereo. I had the upgraded B&O in my RS7, and although I wouldn’t say it was a bad stereo, I definitely felt underwhelmed by it compared to other premium car sound systems.

[@Spacemarine23]

Which other premium car sound systems are that much better ??? I had B & O, and it is one of the best I heard so far...

[@moriascapula]

@@Spacemarine23 I have the Meridian Signature 1700w in my Range Rover Sport SVR and it’s a huge step up, although in fairness it’s also a huge step up in terms of cost as well compared with the comfort and sound pack as spec’d on the RS7. I also preferred the Bose system in the Nissan GTR to the B&O. I think the biggest issue I had with the B&O was specifically that the bass just doesn’t quite have enough woomph, even when cranked up to full. As I said before though it’s still a decent enough system, there are just others I’ve had which I think are better. Horses for courses, though!

[@brubru6819]

Awesome video and comparison between the 8v and 8y - looking forward to the new car - keep up the great work

[@waynewilliamson5719]

Nice honest review. One thing though, half the downsides you mention… aren’t they all going to be present on the saloon? The comments section on this vid alone suggests it’s a model wide issue and not exclusive to the grey hatch you have currently ?

[@EVILGT]

No creaks or rattles on the saloon just yet thankfully. Interior still a disappointment but I have plans for that which will make great content hopefully 👍🏼

[@steffydog]

[@EVILGT]

Did you watch the whole video?

[@ManiSuReal]

at 10:18 did you just do a manual launch by putting foot on the brake and holding throttle down then releasing or is that how Audi's launch?

[@brianiswrong]

Finally somebody else notices cars big and posh front brakes and small and cheap rear brakes. 👍👍 Give us a smooth 2 pot rear calipers with a slightly bigger disc and adjust the brake biased to suite. Hey presto, we get a better looking and proportioned car and the manufacturer can charge us more for our vanity.

[@wynhughes9072]

Because the rear brakes do so little work as compared to the fronts, it's an ideal place to cut costs

[@kiz77]

I personally hate this new shape, 8v lots better shape but maybe this front end/side profile better!

[@EVILGT]

Got to see it in person I think. Everyone has said how much more aggressive it looks over the old one. Park them side by side and the 8V just looks like a normal A3. Different strokes and all that 👍🏼

[@tomcaveracing]

I’ve done 1k in my Vorsprung saloon, RS3 in (tango red) I have to say, it’s an awesome car! But I do agree, the interior is not, Audi quality and not what you expect for 62k car. Sound system, yes my door cards rattle too when you’re pumping out the tunes.. what did impress me was the Bridgestone potenza tyres. I’ve always been on a Michelin PS4, ran them on my previous rs3, But I am impressed with the Bridgestones. Brakes I don’t agree with, they work well round, you guys must have a heavy left foot ;) or you’re not pressing the right foot hard enough.. The class act for me with the new car, is the chassis! HUGE improvement from the old previous model.. the new car drives with a hint of oversteer when you’re on the door handles.. who ever thought an Audi Rs3 driver would say you get oversteer! Oh and not to mention, it’s seriously fast. 🤟🏻💨
