Sold my RS3 this last June. I had it for 3 years, 30k miles. Hands down the best car I've ever owned. I didn't see myself trading it in so soon but life happens. I ended up in something faster out of the box and more suited for the southern climate ;). These cars are pretty stout and regular maintenance is about it. If you tune, just double up on your maintenance i.e. do oil changes every 5k vs 10k, plugs, and other oils at 1/2 their recommended mileage (this is IF you tune). I was stock for 30k miles and it was more than enough for me! Great video for people looking into getting one!

Well, how did it play out?

[@denissousa4168]

Quick note as an RS3 owner myself. If you drive it hard check the oil level frequently. Minimum once a month. Keep your oil level ridding the max line too. IROZ made that recommendation as they found it can lead to some oil starvation issues in hard driving. They make an oil pickup spacer which helps. I’m currently JB4 and this thing went from a 3.9 0-60 down to a 3.4. Should be good for a 11.4-11.6 1/4 mile on pump gas. 😎

[@seinsmeld13]

You are correct Denis this car drinks oil as much I drink coffee. I keep a jug of oil with me in case I'm somewhere where they wouldn't have synthetic oil. In closing this is an absolutely fantastic car. Cheers.

Great video, man! I’ve had my 19 Nardo for two years now and it never gets old. Only mod is a Uni Stage 1 and spacers but that’s about it. Each time I see a video with more upgrades I’m tempted. 😁

[@kellygrajek]

I was hoping you mentioned the thing that kind of suprised me and that was the tires and how fast this little car eats them. Its hard though, to not drive this like it was built for. I thought too that I could leave it sit more often. Anytime it is out of sight out of mind its easy to forget how good it is. Easy to take for granted because you let it sit for a while but it will remind you quickly what it is. But I thought cost of tires should be mentioned.

[@nicks6384]

Thanks for this video! It helped me make the tough decision to move from an OG M2 to the RS3. I've only owned a RS3 for a few days, but so far I'm extremely happy

[@zonnie888]

I’m debating between OG M2 vs 2018 RS3 and keep going back and forth. Can you share more feedback?

[@nicks6384]

@@zonnie888 Absolutely! The RS3 is undoubtedly faster and is a better platform to build on if you want to make massive power easily, while the M2 handles better which I expected going from RWD to AWD. Both cars sound awesome with an aftermarket exhaust.. though I prefer the RS3s sound. Interior quality is better in the RS3 as the OG M2 basically has the interior of a 235i with a little alcantara. After 4 months of ownership I can say the RS3 is an epic daily and has plenty of room for a car seat. I do miss how well the M2 handled and would love to have one again. You should definitely test drive both if you can.

[@zonnie888]

Thanks Nick! Yes the awd is important to me because I live in Canada and we do see snow 3-4 months of the year which would render the m2 useless because we’re quite hilly and the snow comes down pretty hard. I know the OG M2 sounds amazing and I’m hoping the RS3 stock sounds good too. What was your reason for changing from m2 to rs3?

[@gandules06]

Oliver, I thought the same thing when it came to a TCU tune. I thought it couldn't be that much better. I'll wait until I really need it (stage 2). I read on forums that you would lose most of the pops and bangs with the TCU tune so I stayed away. I ran into someone who tunes all types of cars, foreign and domestic and he said " So your gonna upgrade the power that's coming out of that motor and transfer that power to an unassuming stock transmission?, good luck with that." So that stuck with me. My ECU/ TCU tunes we're going on sale, so I said why not? I'm going stage 2 soon anyway. Let me tell you it makes a huge difference! Manual mode shifts instantly with Zero lag. There are so many things you can customize your TCU to do. I'm driving a completely new car now. I couldn't believe I didn't do it sooner. It's just my experience but you won't regret it. Good luck.

[@brettperdue4777]

Totally agree, I love my Uni TCU tune. I’m running Uni Stage 2 E85 and it’s a beast!

[@SYNTAXRS3]

Stage 2 TCU is required for Unitronic software at Stage 1+, honestly it made the car “feel” quicker with how it pulls in both lower and upper end. Would recommend with inserts as well.

Could you comment on the lack of low end torque, the rattling watergate issue, no power seats and the slightly lower build quality than the S4/S5? I think these are the only fees flaws with the car. I think these are potential areas of concern to be noted about the car. I’m a taller guy and wanted to love the RS3, but a car is more than just an engine and sound alone. Keep working at the content!

[@LifeOfOliver1]

Hi Ezra, thanks for the feedback. Due to the single turbo set up, low end torque is there for sure. However that is also one of the things I like about the cad because it feels very different from other cars on the market. I’ve never really faced any waste gate issue especially a tune can fix that! Yes I would say the manual adjustment for the seats is kinda annoying but you learn to live with it, do I wish it has power seats? Yes. But can I without it as well? Yes.

[@teamscoobydoo]

If you want luxury then go for a S4/S5/RS5. RS3 is barely in the luxury department. The manual seats is mainly for weight reduction in the RS3. If you want power seats, go for the RS3 8Y (2022 models). Other than that, I'm 6'1" (186 cm) and I fit the RS3 comfortably. Wastegate rattle can be eliminated through a tune like Oliver mentioned.

Solid buy!

[@stealthhtm23]

literally did the exact same thing lol. had a deposit down, but seen the RS5 in the showroom, and jumped on it. interior quality is miles beyond my 19’ RS3 was. and the 22’ looks like it has even more cheap plastic. super happy with the RS5

[@stealthhtm23]

also, highly suggest deleting the RS5’s 3 resonators. major sound improvement, especially downshift crackles. only cost me $350 at a muffler shop 👌

[@sunnybiswas5249]

@@stealthhtm23 there any drone? I want it to be louder but I like the ability for it to be fairly quiet. For example, if how the stock valves open is the valves closed with the delete then I'll probably get that done this weekend LOL

[@LifeOfOliver1]

@@stealthhtm23 Can confirm. The RS5 sounds good when its modded correctly.

[@SeanD2937]

Is the transmission as good as a PDK?

[@mikeortiz6584]

PDK is far more superior DCT and tuned highly better from factory vs DSG or S-Tronic but once its tuned properly then different story..

Bro, you’ve been gone 7 months now, love your channel but if you’re not doing RS3 content anymore, can I buy your wheels off you? 🙏🏾

I wish I could afford one

I WANT TO OWN A RS3

[@lukew3224]

M2 competition vs rs3 which one is better?

[@Skeetopunk01]

RS3 is better. However.. M2 CS is the best looking car of all in this class. I would take that M2 CS over the RS3 if given a choice. M340i is a better comparison as it’s b58 motor. All wheel drive option and a 4 door. Pluses in my book.

[@dash-kt7uf]

Rs3 by far the faster car tuned on the street - quite a few videos proving this - you don’t mess with a full frame turbo RS3 unless you are a 1800hp plus GTR or same power twin turbo lambo

[@mg6026]

I’ve ordered 2022 RS3 in Australia. Due here around June 2022 so it’s next years birthday present to myself. I plan to mod the car to stage 3. Not happy with colour selection so I’ve ordered Kemora Grey and will get it wrapped in Nardo Grey ( no longer available as standard or optional colour)

[@dimsoneill]

What do you guys do about the warranty after modding a new car? I have a Meteor (Nardo) Grey 2020 Skoda Octavia RS Wagon I'm keen to get a stage 1 and DSG tune on, but don't want to void the warranty which runs out in Dec 2024. Long time to wait!!!

[@mg6026]

I don’t believe that a stage 1 ECU and TCU re-tune would void your warranty. In Australia, a dealer / car manufacturer has to prove that a modification has caused the warranty claim. If it didn’t then the warranty on the particular issue would not be affected.

please remove the sticker on the drivers window. >.

What Color is that Audi?

[@joeldiaz141]

This is my dream car. I wanna get one but can't afford it. So I won't get it :( This is a very sad and sobering thought for me.

[@Pierre-so7xu]

don’t worry man, just for you I’ll live your dream and own one soon one day

[@orangejumpsuit6905]
