Is This Audi RS3 More Fun To DRIVE than the A45 AMG?

[@TRHamza]

Now we just need Audi to borrow me a facelift RS3 but I doubt it'll happen lol. Make sure you guys follow my Instagram/Twitter: @trhamza_

[@mattleistner313]

TR Hamza, why Audi shouldn't? In Germany are also some Cartuber who checked the RS3 Fl borrowed from Audi. Give it a try! By the way, I really like your Videos and I got an A3 Fl Sport with 150 hp, of course can't compare it to an S or even RS3, but it drives like you said - very easy and it feels extremely smooth in the curves. Now waiting for the RS3 Fl with 400 hp! 😃Thumbs up 👍

[@TRHamza]

I'll give it a try for sure but they may not see the channel as big enough yet! Might have to wait for owners cars. And thank you mate! nice car you got there 🙌🏽

[@adamkhan8435]

[@BBahmed]

TR Hamza Pound 4 Pound Golf R is King!

[@freemode-aj6678]

TR Hamza So is this actually a better car then the Focus Rs?

[@Haykosify]

Hands down the best hot hatch atm I'd say. Especially after the facelift.

[@TRHamza]

Yeah Ive heard great things about the facelift, especially on the handling front, don't know where I'm going to get hold of one though!

[@masterhashim4472]

TR Hamza why don't u do a miltec decat it'll be good

[@IceFish.]

not the best drivers car though that is the m2 all day every day

[@MrZyLeXx]

the m2 doesn't sound as good though and it doesn't have as much space as the rs3 if you would only have that car.

[@LivingLifeFull]

The S3 is the best imo Still 4WD but a 2.0TFSI RS3 = petrol guzzler

[@sufyxn1]

Wow! That 2.5 5 cylinder really does sound like a baby V10. Great vid Hamza

[@cumjongun2574]

Sufyan Shahid Yeah i prefer l5 sound its so good

[@TRHamza]

Thanks man! And yeah It really does doesn't it!

RS3's are very rare here in New Zealand, Everytime I see one, I have to stop and stare, I love this car. Golf R's are rare as well, but RS3's especially - I love both....Own a Golf R, but aspire to one day own a Audi RS3

[@Boydie20]

Your videos are what KZbin needs mate, nobody's bothered about boot space etc, we want real vids like yours! And btw, this is my favourite car right now and the noise alone makes me want to get backrupt and get one haha!

[@nicolasrmarca9642]

As a merc fanboy the Rs3 is incredible.

[@thehelperofthepeopledems2525]

I swear, tr hamza is the only guy who I don't skip on.. Watch the whole thing from start to finish and it's just epic bro. Appreciate just how honest you are... To be fair I would've thought you'd like the rs3 more than the a45 being an Audi owner and whatnot but I am suprised. The owner will look back at this video, where he will see that his car ain't perfect and In all fairness, no car is, they all have their little faults and sometimes those little faults makes the cars all that much better as it creates drama. I love the a45, but I think it's a bit too boy racer. I love the wings and the body, but at the same time I don't.. It's weird but I'm really suprised at that outcome. Hopefully in the future when I am fortunate like you to drive these cars I really want to experiment and a hyper hot hatch. I really don't think at the price point, or the performance the m140i can compete. Bmw really need to bring forward a car that can compete with the a45 and the rs3 as I think that car will just be about drama kicking it's back out in the corners. Anyways Hamzah, your channel is improving massively. I don't know how as there was not much wrong, or any for that matter but you have managed to retain the followers you had from the beginning which is a good thing! Hopefully we can see some drone footages in the next few videos. You did really pick a nice place to video cars in a car park as it is suprising quite and in the car the reflections catches it well on the camera. Anyways, have a good one bro.

[@TRHamza]

Thank you bro, glad the risk of making long videos is working out! And yeah the RS3 is great no doubt, its just it has shortcomings that even the sound can't hide, it makes sense now why Audi did so much work on the new facelift to make it a more involving agile machine. And yes definitely Ive always thought BMW should up their game and make a 5dr hatch with the same effort they put into the M2, the M140i just isn't special enough, its fast but thats about it for me.

[@JaixBlud]

Can definitely hear those 5 cylinders, sounds insane! Audi have got it all right whereas Ford got it wrong with the recent 4 cylinder engines. Back when they pumped the St's and RS's with 5 cylinders and 2.5 engines were the days! Great video mate, I'm a Ford guy but I'd take this RS3 over any recent Ford haha

[@Ocelot7]

One day one day I will Own one of these... absolute dream.

[@zaink7037]

If you focus on it you will one day 👍. A decent one in nardo grey like this one is going for around £32k. First plan out your life first sensibly like get a property first before a expensive car. You don't want to get a property later in life and have the mortgage finish off later or paying for someone else's rent.

Best reviewer on KZbin, RS3 is a monster but like you I don't think I'd feel short changed by getting back into the S3 after driving one

[@TRHamza]

Enjoyed that review. I have the same model RS3 8V. Best daily drivers car I have ever owned and is very capable in all weathers. However it is not a track car. I have a FK2 Type R which is so much better in the twisty stuff. Looking forward to facelift test drive.

[@B-R-W-3]

[@ejminkhashaki6187]

I got S sport seats on my '17 S3. It may sound weird, but I would prefer the regular sport seats rather than S sport ones. Good video. Thanks for sharing!

[@janakoub1037]

long live the 5 cylinders. I beat the daylight out my 340000 miles on my 93 S4, when I finally decided to bigger tubo I pulled the engine for rebuilt and stronger rods I took it to the engine shop and he told I was insane for tearing the engine apart, It looked perfect, I told him I had 340000 miles he laughed and said there is no way that's possible on German cars, then he showed me the rod bearing, there was still smooth, pistons, cylinder walls was as good as new. Man, I wish I new Audi was going to make 5 cylinders in a sedan I would never spend 12 grand on an engine. I never though RS3 was coming to US.

[@michaelcottee924]

I Lean more towards your reviews pal as they come across as very unbiased and down to earth. With a 30k budget I've been looking at e92 m3 or m4/m2. Never given audi a thought but as I'm of a certain age and grew up going sideways in opel mantas and ford capris, in the real world of rubbish British weather, the rs3 is a weapon. My money is probably going this way.Keep up the great content pal 👍 👌

[@stkh648]

it might feel a bit stiff in corners due to the DYNAMIC setting, you should try putting it on INDIVIDUAL, then all the settings on DYNAMIC and leave suspension in comfort, that really makes the car do wonders!

[@Diogo_A]

Best hyperhatch, the facelift may handle well but no way near that noise it makes. Smiles per miles.

[@leehiller3152]

Main issue with the RS3 is that the depreciation is stubborn so i'll be waiting ages to get one! ;) Need it to hit £30k mark and then i'll pounce. I'm annoyed the facelift version didnt make the 8V drop by 10K (wishful thinking)

Top car!! Hamza, thanks for this review!! Absolutely awesome! In my opinion, that is definitely one of the best sounding cars out there right now! The launch control just makes the car take off! But then again the bad thing about the car is, it is extremely expensive. Great video Hamza! Keep em rolling!

Thank you mate! Will keep them coming. And yes it does sound incredibly good but then you are paying best part of 50k GBP for a hatchback, very expensive

[@NadimMusa]

Awesome car. I also have the milltek decats the car definitely drives better with the traction completely off as it allows all of the torque to go to the back wheels but it does understeer a lot in comparison to the facelift model

I test drove one and I thought it was going to kill me. it looks like one second it has immense grip and the next it's about to throw me in a hedge. it has serious serious straight line speed though. thr engine sound is great. better than an A45s.. the exhaust didn't sound like the car you drove in your video though. the cornering was its weak point and it understeered a bit. lastly with all the options I wanted it was 55k lol. in the end for me personally I preferred the steering and overall feel of the A45. it was very accurate and i could tell when it was reaching its limits during cornering. it also had adaptive dampers which made the ride less brutal.

[@joedavidson23]

Another good video mate! Rs3 is my absolute dream car (im set on it being my next car) maybe you could mention the price of them too? Like how much a 20k mileage 15 plate would be compared to a similar age and mileage a45 or s3 etc? Just an idea mate :)

So you are trying to compare the modifying potential of the two cars, yet one has an extra cylinder?? Okay well the A45 is already the world's most powerful 4 cylinder production engine... So by sheer probability if the Mercedes had another cylinder it would be again more powerful than any RS3. So when your mouth talks before your brain has time to think about what it wants to say with such sentences as der "cant do shit with mercedes" you are already talking with irrelevance; as the Mercedes has in your eloquence "already had shit done" to it to make it the most powerful engine per litre in it's class.

[@TRHamza]

Hi this is the 2015 RS3, it’s uses a different engine. The 2018 we get over here is the same as the US. It uses an aluminium engine block and is a lot quieter, Audi toned it down for EU regulations. The pops and bangs can be mimicked slightly with an ECU map but you won’t really be able to replicate the savage noise of the 2015.
