That Python Yellow though! 👌

[@emilytheaudinerd]

😍😍😍

[@chrisburry8147]

Great overview! We're a two Audi family ('22 RS5 Sportback and a '22 Q7) - love them!

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy your cars!!

[@sairasajid7885]

I have the 2022 s3 in python yellow with the carbon fibre pack top spec it really is such an incredible drive

[@emilytheaudinerd]

That's so awesome! I hope you enjoy it!!

[@MrLeonidas123]

What a beautiful car. Thanks for doing this video

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Glad you liked it!

[@mrees5170]

Wow that looks great! I’m not normally a fan of yellow but that looks awesome. Still don’t understand why the left corner vent is fake while the right is functional. Just make them both functional. Thanks for showing us. Great review. I’d have to say I’d take this over the RS3. Price wise the S3 is a value!

[@emilytheaudinerd]

I am not usually so in love with yellow but I agree this color is great!!! I can understand why only one side is functional, only one side has an oil cooler behind the vent, the other side does not. But at the same time I agree with you why not just make them both functional.

[@bpeyton11]

The yellow paint is super cool in person - I'll admit I was really skeptical of the color from looking at pictures online. In the bright sun it has a very similar hue to the old "vegas yellow" (except with metal flake), and in the shade it has a bit of a yellow-green sparkle similar to that of the F80 M3 "austin yellow". S3 is definitely a great value, especially when you look at the performance bump from just a "stage 1+" tune from Unitronic...446hp is no joke. That, coupled with the hilariously long order wait time for new RS3's, I totally understand why people would pick this instead.

[@nitrobiz]

My last 'fun' car was a M3 and before that was a '15 VW GLI. I've been looking at getting another M3 but I want AWD but I can't afford the new G80 so I've been looking at either a g20 330i or M340 or Golf R, but after watching your video I'm really liking what Audi is offering. Thank you!

[@emilytheaudinerd]

You are welcome! The S3 is awesome!

[@ecshredder]

Great review, bravo!

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mesharialbassam726]

Such a beautiful car. Great review Audi nerd !

[@clarksonstestical7596]

Audi S models = comfort performance based Audi RS models = highest performance based

[@emilytheaudinerd]

I agree!

[@davidgolf3245]

Emily I had the A3 and was going to buy the first S3 in my state, AZ, with gray interior, but VW took for ever to get the car, so I bought the Lexus IS 350 F sport instead. My question for you, how would you compare my IS 350F sport to the S3? I know I have five more horses, but was thinking of maybe trading in and looking at the S3 again. Thoughts??? Back to your video.

[@emilytheaudinerd]

The best way to compare these cars is to talk about their roots. The Lexus is a Japanese car and optimized for roads and areas of that region. The S3 is a German car, made for the autobahn. As someone who just got back from 10 days in Germany and got to truly experience the region and autobahn for myself, we here in the USA truly cannot compare anything of what we have to what this car is made for. The S3 is a powerful, comfortable, safe sedan. It is meant to be driven swiftly and is very agile. The safety features work incredibly well, most importantly at very high speeds. But ultimately, everyone makes a good car these days and both are great options. But if you want something that wakes you up and is fun to drive in every scenario, go German.

[@tariqali1530]

Great Presentation 👍🎉 I love Audi S3 Sports.

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Thank you! 👍

[@Anonymous-mu5bl]

The exhaust sound is it factory and if yes is the same sound for the premium to or only premium plus

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Factory, same on all trims

[@user-je4zs7kx2s]

I'm debating between an S3 and an S4. I'm drawn to the V6. My GTI is yellow!

[@jefflarson4221]

Great review EM🇺🇲

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Thanks!

[@kadalkol]

How is the base audio compared to the B&O audio system?

[@Jonathan-kraai]

go for the B&O it is fantastic. i cant compare to the normal sound system in a S3 but i can compare it to the normal sound system in a new A1. the B&O in my S3 is soo much better. Also this is not an option you could spec later. So if music is important to you, dont miss on the B&O

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Completely agree^^^

[@geraldguerrero4800]

First time watching your review. Good job. You did not say where the rims were originally used.

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Thanks! I am sorry what do you mean by originally used?

[@ufuktan6544]

Definitely the "most informative" Audi channel

[@emilytheaudinerd]

:) Thanks

[@nickq1824]

hello I’m on Audis website customizing an s3 and I want the black logos and badges blacked out but when I select the black optic package they don’t go black ???

[@emilytheaudinerd]

The S3 has different packaging, for the A3 it is a port installed accessory. You won't be able to see that online.

[@Jonathan-kraai]

when i configured mine there were two option: black pack and black plus pack. the first does not black out the rings, type and tailpipes. but i configured mine in europe. that might differ in the US

[@voxtek]

Just bought this exact car, Ive had a deposit on an rs3 for a while and i hear it could be much longer. So in the mean time, this will be a great car to drive until then.

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Congrats!

[@boodits]

I have a 2023 s3 (with the black optics) but I have a flat bottom steering wheel

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Where are you located?

[@MrEvaaansss]

Are they ceramic disks ?

[@emilytheaudinerd]

That is not an option on the S3. But it is an option on the RS3

[@MrEvaaansss]

@@emilytheaudinerd great! Don’t want them they are too expensive. Only reason I asked was it looked like it had them in the vid. Going to test drive one this weekend 😬

[@thesyllabus6568]

This is the exact color I'm going for! This car has everything I want 😏

[@emilytheaudinerd]

It is an AWESOME car!!

[@olafharoldsonnii4713]

Audi is the best German car brand out there. I’ll take an Audi over bmw & Benz

[@emilytheaudinerd]

I agree!

[@backtoshallabal6662]

is this quicker/faster than a stock Type R?

[@bpeyton11]

Yes, by a lot. Type R 0-60 ~5.0 seconds, 1/4 mile ~13.7@105. New S3 0-60 4.3 seconds, 1/4 mile 12.9@108. With a simple ECU tune the S3 will do 11.65@119 in full street trim.

[@emilytheaudinerd]

And it looks better too!

[@Jonathan-kraai]

the Golf 8 R and the S3 are very similar. But the R is just a little bit quicker. 0.1 - 0.3 seconds to 60. They both have the same platform and engine, but the R is the top spec for Golf while the S3 still has a bigger brother with the RS3. So the R is set up with more 'sporty' in mind than the S3. The R also has a little more torque and HP. still i like the S3 more. it looks better, has way better interior and over all is the better daily driver

[@aaronmorales1698]

how much is this spec?

[@MistaBrown420]

since it doesn't have the 2250$ technology package upgrade it's around 55 grand.

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Correct.

[@HipsterTactical]

Are pythons... yellow? Regardless--it looks fantastic. Thanks for the review.

[@emilytheaudinerd]

You are welcome!

[@maretomcic]

Yes, there is phython of this color.

[@michaelstout7652]

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Gotta be accurate! Glad you enjoyed my video!!

[@Knives7777]

Audi owners what does maintenance look for a vehicle like this?

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Once a year or every 10,000 miles.

[@Jonathan-kraai]

new does not need much maintenance. i'd do an oil change every 10.000 miles. and check it once in a year or when seasons switch (if that is relevant for where you live) but dont underestimate the cost of ownership. It needs more gasoline than a normal A3, best is premium gas. You pay way more insurance bc the car itself is more expensive. My insurance even wanted me to install extra theft protection for 1500 bucks. also environmental taxes might be higher than on a similar car.

[@LUCKYTRIP]

Socks and sandals though 😬 not sure if that’s an American thing, certainly a huge no no in the UK 😂. The car, perfect. Cannot wait to take delivery of mine in February, it’s been a long wait.

[@emilytheaudinerd]

Its functional and comfy :) Hopefully you take delivery soon!

[@abhithakur90]

i wish they had this interior in the A4/S4. for some reason the I do not find the exterior of the A3/S3 refined or luxurious aka understated Audi is known for but the A4/S4 has the weird tablety centre display so ugly

[@emilytheaudinerd]

There is a new interior coming!

[@nicholasmantia9052]

What do you think the lease price will be on an S3 ??

[@emilytheaudinerd]

That will depend on your country, state, county, city and dealership. They range from $600-$1,200

[@isimonsez]

4:35 that’s why I don’t like black optic on a black car or front end…. It’s like a badge delete, you can’t see the emblem from a distance

[@MistaBrown420]

I have 2022 s3 mythos black with black optics and it looks bad assss I don't need ppl to know what car it is by the badge anyways

[@LL-vl9be]

@@MistaBrown420 We have an rsq3. All blacked out and I agree. Looks so stealthy, mean and badass as you said.

[@MistaBrown420]

@@LL-vl9be The rsq3's are freakin cool I'm jealous a bit haha I wanted a rs3 soo badly but the markups etc just put me off and the s3 is more than enough for me rn

[@emilytheaudinerd]

I agree...this is why our personal cars do not have black rings and badges besides the R8 and TTRS. Those are up on the hood so its different.

[@MistaBrown420]

@@emilytheaudinerd Pretty much every color looks way better with the black audi badges etc the chrome is waaaay too much and tacky
