Thanks Steve! I am beginning to realise honesty is a rare commidity in the KZbin car review world. I am not saying people lie, but when you earn a living from YT you quickly learn there is a connection between being invited to events and being loaned press cars and not being too critical. I'd say nearly all the big automotive channels don't provide critical reviews. Luckily I don't pay my mortgage with YT and I can get cars new and old from other sources to review but I am beginning to feel a bit of an outcast, all because of being honest and providing valid consumer advice. Hopefully in time this strategy will pay dividends but right now, honesty doesn’t pay

The interior does seem rather dull unless you spec it with the RS Design Package. I would argue that should really come as standard to differentiate it from a standard A3/S3.

Biggest issue I have with my PFL RS3 is the chassis, this one seems to address this. The thing I love is the noise, this sounds pretty muted. I'm no BMW fan but they have a new alternative, the M240i X Drive. Just as quick and cheaper. Jo Achilles managed a 3.7 0-60. With adaptive dampers, sunroof + discount its £43k. Arguably a much better drivers car. Very tempting and a pretty 2 door coupe design.

Getting some really good reviews this new RS3. Looks like they might have finally solved the understeer issue that has haunted this car since it first came out. It’s alot of money, but you’re ultimately paying the extra for that unique engine. I think it looks really aggressive too. Just a shame the sound is so muted. Why they couldn’t at least put some pops and crackles on the overrun and give it some character, i just don’t understand. Can’t blame emissions and GPF’s either, as the RS Megane and the i30N both sound incredible!

Great summing up - the A3/S3 is nothing particularly notable, but....that engine! It sounds amazing! You're spot on by saying that engine forgives a lot - it's characterful, in a way that practically all other engines aren't (including the E888 engine in my R). I've always been more of a VW fan, rather than Audi - the image, for one thing. (I also don't like the philosophy that you have to sacrifice practicality with Audi). I struggle with the interior of the A3 (think my Wife hasn't figured out her A3 yet 🤣), but I'd certainly like to try the previous RS3 (preferably a "run out" model). Now, if only Audi did an RS3 Avant....!!

Thanks! Yes the Golf 8 reviews got me into trouble with VW as big publications were vexed they didn't get in before me. RS3 is a great car but being forced to have a round steering wheel if you want ACC and no interior design packs for UK too mean a lot of compromises on a car that at £60k needs to be perfection. Haven't seen any other reviews but controlled is probably the right word for that event having seen the perplexing guest list....

Tough question. Normally I'd say yes, it all depends how much you can stomach the new A3/S3/RS3 interior material quality. If you don't feel the urine is being extracted (i.e. you've not been in the old gen car) then you'll say yes it is worth it. To drive, apart from the RS3's character, I don't think there is much in it as long as R has Performance Pack. It's around £10k difference between base models and you'd need leather and PP on R to compete which closes the gap but then you need to spec adaptive cruise, dynamic light assist and some other bits that are standard on the R and optional on the Audi. TELL YOU WHAT I'LL MAKE A VIDEO COMPARING THE TWO 😉😁😁

I just put a deposit down on one of the 2022s, but I wouldn’t get one if I already had an RS3 either. They made some things better, but they made some things worse too. Pretty much a wash in my opinion Plus, who the hell knows when I’ll even get it? The best case scenario is late fall. Could possibly even be a year

That's why the saloon exists, because it's perceived to be more premium in certain markets where hunchbacks, sorry hatchbacks are just shopping cars. It's £1k more in the UK only for it to depreciate a lot more than the Sportback - reminds me, Sportback sounds more expensive than hatchback!

I don’t think the governments target for a complete ban on petrol and Diesel new car purchases from 2030 is viable. It’s utter nonsense when you look at the availability of charge stations at the moment and we are looking at only 8 more years?? Even Hybrid goes in 2035?

I’ve had both the iron block 8v rs3 and now a 2020 rs3 with the dwna opf engine - even after tuning/exhaust to remove the opf and fix the horribly laggy throttle/turbo, the new alu block engines just don’t have the same sound and character as the iron block did. Also saddened to see Audi interior quality has taken a really big hit (possibly due to dieselgate fines?)
