202012 or 2012 they brought the rs3 cal? 😂

[@user-hs3tk5bx1x]

got a 2016 rs3 if your interested in that. how do i get in contact

Ara Blue is such a underrated colour. So much crystal and a sick car.

[@carlsmith1042]

Great video but that was not in proper launch mode, they can do 3.7 3.8 standard using the launch. A stage 1 rs3 will do 3.3

[@jim8462]

67/18 plate is the best year as it has the Dazza engine with no OPF filters

[@cabottaxi]

Guy in the work bought one of these and it cost him £44,000. Had it 2 weeks and it was stolen. Found in a farmers field on its side. I'd love one but would have to measure the width of the garage before buying one.

[@dragonsbane2]

P!$$ed

[@mrmaxbb5124]

I love the year 202012..😅😂

[@R19Robbin]

That quattro system makes thing thing so quick off the line but it's too safe in my opinion, that's why I rather have a rwd bmw that wants to break out sometimes 👌

[@markhaynes9923]

The nearest thing an RS3 should be compared to in the BMW line is the 140m (go faster hatchback), but that is more of an S3 equivalent, so it has to be an M2. The M3/M4 are in the RS4/5 segment.

[@Buck3366]

M240i XDrive is a good rival to the RS3 and way out of the S3 league in terms of performance

[@matthewmitten83]

thats the m140 most likely or couldve been a 135i either way absolute weapon of a car but its the budget bmw m lite not even an m car it just happens to compete performance wise with rs3@@loggin_password

[@raccs600]

correct

[@danieljadorie829]

As an S3 owner I agree with this. M240i xdrive is way too much sauce for my 4 cylinder with that B58. And honestly even the M235i with similar mods to what I have on mine would probably smack me haha I think those have the N55

[@alancarew4841]

I get what you are saying, but RSE is closer to M3 money that the M3 is to RS4/5 money

[@rcart1]

For reference on the different 5 pot engines… CEPA- RS3 8P, TTRS 8J CZGB- PFL RS3 8V DAZA- FL RS3 8V-2018, TTRS 8S DNWA- FL RS3 2018-, FL TTRS 8S

[@ProLexHD]

DAZA ftw🙌

[@vegasphil]

Your head popping out of the curry cracked me up for some reason haha

[@DanB-]

RS cars are way way more useable than the M cars being 4wd as opposed to rwd. If its for a daily then I would go RS every time, weekend/fun car maybe an M3/4 but still in the UK you can hardly ever use them due to weather.

[@richboy900]

That 2.5 lump is a gem, sounds sort of like a V10

Glad to hear you change your tone on them haha! I bought one back in June and absolutely love it! Tried getting one from Binca actually but no luck.

[@KrysStewart]

Nice video ! Would love to see you do a 2015 / 2016 RSQ3 as I think they are incredible value for money , be good to see your comparison to one to an RS3 / TTRS also ? cheers !

[@ceefeeshswim3772]

Great content as usual Calvin. Your time for the RS 3 seems slow. I have a stock S3 8Y and it does 4.6. You might need a different RS3 for a comparison time. Your car knowledge and the amount of cars you’ve driven is impressive. Keep the content coming.

[@tjlee5305]

All about the sound a good geo setup and a decent tuner to bring them alive.

[@ReeceT20]

I've got a stage 2 manual M240i thats had shed loads of stuff done, raced a stock RS3 and they're definitely quick cars

[@l33lvr]

Agree with the biryani! But, on a budget, it would have to be an M140/135i. 🤣

Love to see you give your opinion on a pre OPF Mk3 TT RS Calvin. Currently really considering one

[@adamfirth4199]

the previous owner should have thought about things before swapping a quattro for a rwd near christmas time!

[@ihkjghiughiouhoiho]

rs3 is more than likely the best all round car, ill be biased as I've had 2 8v rs3's and 2 new shape 8ys, currently sold my most recent one. its been 4 weeks without one and I'm already looking at getting back into one.

[@renovareuk]

Calvin can you put the prices on the cars on your Excel? as this will help everybody decide which car they can afford and perhaps new and cheapest used ones!

[@stevegreenly2259]

Calvin. Back in the day my brother owned the Audi A2 Quattro you show around 2.20 into the video. Where did you film it?

@@alig23_ 3.0l 6cyl turbo jus sounds better than the 2.5l 5cyl turbo if both got mod exhaust no question

[@Sammy-lw1ns]

Why?

[@blacknero1]

I've had 6 5 cylinder Audi's and 1 VW over 40 years no straight 6 on the planet sounds better than a naturally aspirated Audi 5 cylinder not even the Volvo or the Fiat 5 cyl come close, and a straight piped TT RS that annihilated me in my XK was the best I've ever heard other than a UR rally car, the 140 sounds ok but even then a V6 nissan sounds better IMO.

[@markpayne4067]

2016 rs3 is the best one with the best sound. I have one and always puts a smile on my face. Everyone is always looking.

[@jonodunn2592]

Might sound better but the facelift is quicker and handles better with lighter engine

[@jamessheehy4895]

I could drive any car i fancied in forza horizon games, I always cruised around slow in an Rs3!! No lie ❤😅

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

My 332bhp 2003 WRX did 0-60 in 3.8 secs. (Drag strip timed) Very slow once you got it into the very long 4th gear though.

Curious Calvin how much did u buy this car for as the market for these cars is crazy. I’ve seen ones on autotrader for 48grand same with the forums

[@Elias_K-gb3kz]

Hows the fuel consumption on this ?

[@danpeters5028]

[@danpeters5028]

Having driven a older rs3 myself I can say they are quick cars for what they are and definitely worth having as a daily

[@damienhostey7804]

I've got a 2019 S3 in Ara blue that I've owned from new . My car as the design pack which is red stitching and extra leather on the door handles and knee pads with the red stitch plus it as the super sport seats which I think are a must . Considered trading it in for a new Golf R 20 years but I"am in two minds .

[@BS7_RS3]

Stick to s3 best car ever I also have an s3 👍👍👍

[@bikeman123]

It says a lot when the first owner has lost practically nothing in 3 years simply because new car prices have risen to much. I doubt that will happen if you buy new today.

[@stevengreen5842]

Calv any chance you can get a Ford Focus rs mark 2 on your channel please, I owned a mk 1 then a mk2 after it, as you can guess they were completely different cars but if I could own any car I’d own a mk2 rs again, getting rid of it was a painful day for me which I’ll regret for the rest of my days !!! 😪😪

[@jim8462]

Mine has super sports seats and no pan roof so not sure you’re correct on the seats only coming with the pan roof.

[@bigtt9452]

same i have seats no roof

[@carl8708]

Same here

[@snbala]

I bought a 2019 8V facelift Daytona Grey RS3 sport edition saloon brand new which I reluctantly sold in 2020, and that was the time I saw your video on the nardo saloon and I disagreed completely with that video. I think they are awesome cars, they sound and go like nothing else really, not much can catch it off the line. The M2 may handle a bit better but the RS3 handle really well and that Quattro means you can gather pace around the bends easily. I sold mine for not much than what I bought it for so depreciation is rock solid on these. I do agree a Pan roof is a must and the sports seats. The front arches are also slightly flared. Definitely a car I miss and I think any petrolhead should drive one rather than the usual they understeer and what not comments.

[@sarcastixx74]

Those kinda comments always seem to come from the same wannabes that haven't even owned a full fat M car too. I came from an E36 M3 evo and E46 M3 before my current B8 S4 and if I hadn't believed all the idiotic comments from the armchair experts I would've left the RWD cars behind years ago. Will definitely be in the market for an RS3 next spring/summer and looking at the good, low mile examples available just now it's looking good for me to able to land a well specced DAZA when the time comes for an upgrade!

[@Rico1973]

Poor 0-60 time really! Was achieving 4 secs in my 2019 RS3 Sportback consistently with pan roof so heavier, stage 1 Revo tune was then hitting 3.4 secs and was so much more aggressive off the line, however quite a few variables such as fuel, road surface etc. An awesome car but now in a TTRS which to me is way cooler and much rarer on the road 👍🏻

[@McCoyKubayi]

Audis don't like to be breakboosted Calv, they sort of cut power a little bit when u breakboost hence the delay in takeoff.

I have a 2015 S3 Saloon manual from new......would have loved the RS3 but the £1500 road tax for the first 3 years was never going to happen with me and I still like a manual. I still love the styling of my car although I do like the dashboard of the newer generations......but I still think I got a bargain compared to the prices today. Yes it would be nice to have the performance of the RS3.....but looking at the state of our roads I'm more than happy to stick with my S3 as the extra spend for performance (in my opinion) has diminishing returns in real world use.
