Why Would You Buy The New Audi RS3?

[@anonymousmind]

I'd buy the RS3 Sportback if I was you! It'd be a perfect daily, everything looks so good especially the interior!

[@InteriorDesignAnderson]

Anonymous just get a golf R

[@ethanstephenson6310]

BMW ///M Well if you want something that looks ands sounds worse and has about 80 less horsepower then go ahead.

[@mscigniewrudzinski5053]

BMW ///M its slower and sounds horrible

[@Keegz73]

BMW ///M are you joking? Golf R is shit

[@InteriorDesignAnderson]

Ethan Stephenson yeah but it's ten grand less and then you can tune it to make up for the power loss

[@TGE]

Tell Archie to get one, then drive it into the sea

[@born2vehicles479]

TGE TV HAHAHAHHA legend

[@Ali-li2vx]

TGE TV i dont get it. What a shit joke Tom. Get outta ere

[@mafaka4456]

+Ali (Ali'jan) might aswell get in the 🌊 you kumquat

[@LivingLifeSlower]

TGE TV Didn't kids stop saying that in 2015?

[@ts.exotics642]

[@stekarenhd6911]

It feels so weird knowing that James is sitting right next to you all quiet while you are talking to yourself.

[@abdelhamidkettani9563]

Stekaren HD i

[@LivingLifeSlower]

Stekaren HD So weird? Really?

[@lordwalker71]

Don't understand people who go on about how great a car is and how fast it is and then say it lacks emotion, honestly makes me want to reach into the screen and smack them.

[@Higginz-wk9rl]

C Walkz and demonstrate 'emotion' isn't always all it's cracked up to be. Good plan! 👍

[@RoyLeijten]

C Walkz yeah, its just BS indeed. Such a good car , so fast .. bla bla bla .. thats all just to keep the brands friended.

[@SWatchik]

It's because it's not Italian duuuuh

[@HG504X]

C Walkz The rest of the competition lacks emotion, all boring 4 cylinders except from the M140i.

[@ags911]

I think the word he was looking for is 'character', sounds like the car is too easy to drive whereas the M2 probably slides around a bit more on edge. Sounds like the GT-R vs 911 debate, one is good for speed and stability and the other is built for pure driving fun.

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

I'd pick the Audi in a heartbeat, it might not be as fun to drive as an M2 but that's the kind of car you daily not the one you take to the track. The interior design (subjective) and finish (objective) is way better in the Audi, it seems to be in a class above really. And it looks more distinctive than any BMW imo.

[@jameel3220]

I sometime feel sorry for Archie like he seems like a genuinely good guy and he gets to much hate used to hate him heaps but never knew why

[@RemainRealProductions]

Audi are truly special, these RS3's are amazing, the interiors are WOW! aha, the sound too :O

[@Adam-st2]

Has anyone realised Sam always finishes his sentences with hahahahahaUUUUMMMMMM

[@Adam-st2]

4:55

[@Adam-st2]

5:02

[@ts.exotics642]

Adam Herbert I do aswell

[@EricMewhort]

Well, now I do...

[@muhammadislam4913]

You didn't mention the 2.5 litre , 5 cylinder engine which makes it unique. The sound mad

[@TRHamza]

Great video Sam, would have been cool to get some more external exhaust noise clips though 👍🏼

[@swanblake]

Sam you honestly have the best taste in background music. Always bobing my head to the beat selection. Great work!

[@vishaalclips]

content is lit, thanks for the entertainment sam

[@williamsswamydas1250]

picture is so good

[@blinddate9583]

Great review Sam , love all the effort you put into every video - keep it up!

[@jimmy92goodwin]

This quality of this production is intimidatingly good. Choice of music is always fresh; such a fresh change from the generic dubstep and chipmunk voices of typical car channels. Looking to start one myself soon, this is the goal - without copying of course! Keep it up as always!

[@vinnyf335]

The music and the way you shoot your videos is super relaxing

[@thomasbailey4139]

I'd buy the Sedan. Mainly because I'm American. Secondly because I think it looks fabulous

[@mustangparker7150]

This is a great video! Thank you for sharing, loving the quality as usual!

[@micahdye5411]

I really like your newer reviews! The video quality is great, the music selection is relaxing, you give unbiased opinions on the cars, and I feel like you relate to the common car enthusiast more than, say, Shmee150. Although I love his channel, I'm quickly becoming more and more excited each time you release a new video. My favorite part of this particular video was at the end where you re-emphasized that, while the RS3 is a great car, you personally prefer the BMW M2. Real car journalism! Keep up the good work Sam, I will continue to get excited for your new videos.

[@mustangparker7150]

I feel exactly the same! He really knows how to do KZbin properly

[@mfiv2006]

I was literally thinking, I would rather have the new 2018 BMW M2", right before you say the same! How crazy is that. The Audi is good, but not great. And the BMW's new 2018 M2 with the new headlights, wider flared fenders, and updated tail lights, the car is so sick!

[@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea]

I wish more cars were 5 cylinders. Economical and fun at the same time, and sounds nice too.

[@OllyT555]

11 minutes of pure quality! Videos just keep getting better and better Sam 👌👌

[@AJ3]

"Heading up north to Buckinghamshire" FFS Sam

[@BernardVisagie]

Think the RS3 would be a fantastic daily; just the right size, practicality, wonderful soundtrack, all weather safety and off the line performance.

[@sapientbudgie5652]

AWD, 400hp, 3500lbs saloon? This car is epic

[@MrRacs1]

I was there, at Chicheley Hall on my bday, sleeping in the hotel the night before Silverstone Grand Prix!! Amazing to see Audi having a car press drive there 😲

[@R34neo]

Every time I hear, "get a Golf R" I cringe. Not in the same league. Drove into Audi in a MY16 S3, drove out in a MY18 RS3. The sound can't be portrayed in these videos. It's pure porn! Build quality for price, unmatched.

[@gregmayled]

Nice to see we are sharing Lakely Inspired Music Sam 😄

[@SZ-ZS-]

youtubers will complain the gear change is too violent and say it needs to be smoother, then when its smoother they say its bad that the gear change isnt more noticeable. makes a lot of sense

[@beekyiscoolio]

I love how he classes "up north" as Buckinghamshire 😂

[@seinsmeld13]

Here in Canada with our poor winter weather the RS3 would be my choice over a rear wheel drive BMW especially at the same price. Thanks for the great review.

[@hnonline111]

I liked this one a lot! He pretty much sums up the point of Audi RS cars that many sport car enthusiasts do not get. Some people love thrills with lower usability and practicality. And then there are those that love usable power, but are not keen on the car "overpowering them". And those pick the RS´s. None is cleverer or wittier, they just have different wants and needs.

[@fabianespinozaiii6058]

I love Audi's current lineup. Didn't expect that just two years ago.

[@calimag1]

up north to buckinghamshire.......WHAT!!!

[@borjastick]

Yeah another good vidoe from the man and always like the music you choose Mr STG.

[@iggymoyanojr7145]

Why would I buy an RS3 sportback ? BECAUSE i'm an old LA Lowrider and would kick ass on any Ferrari , Alfa Romeo , Porsche hot boy that would sit at any red light in AMERICA hands down !!!!!! Lol

[@Simon-jq4fj]

Audi are doing everything right with the RS range at the moment. From the RS3 all they way up to the RS7 the cars are great. I got a ride in a friends RS6 a couple of months ago and it was insane.

[@petera4640]

I get why you mention the m2 but as its the same price id take the Rs3 based on interior being so much better

[@altereddata4730]

No mention on the 5cyl engine then? Now that Volvo have stopped making them they're rare AF..

[@TheFunkhouser]

Summer!?? OMG... come to New Zealand.. that looks like our mid-winter lol :)

[@1hej0k3r]

Been to New Zealand this "summer", looked a lot like this xD. Mainly South Island, though.

[@stevehughes1834]

Love the channel Sam, great stuff as always, particularly the Archie trolling, however I'd never thought of Buckinghamshire or indeed my home roads of East Northants/North Beds your using here as "up North" 😂😂😂 You go within 500 yards of my house at one point!.......it always rains!

[@BlakesGarage]

I have the 17 S3 and love it maybe I will pick up an RS3 in a few years.

[@idzardkruizinga]

Your vids look just so much better than the other KZbinrs not that they are bad I watch them to but your vids are just quality

[@marleehallberg768]

Thanks for bringing back the lounge music

[@ButIern]

Just the type of car I was hoping you were going to review!

[@adamgalbraith2829]

Been absolutely loving your content as of late

[@alexfleming7862]

Forgot about the old tts what a car! Great video as always sam

[@MrKM09]

would love to see this be compared/tested alongside a CLA45 or C43

[@kilo3o3]

To get the thrills you are looking for you have to drive the car hard in dynamic mode. Gotta find the right roads/track. To each there own. If you ever get a chance push the car hard, Audi's a very fun. Dor check out APR staged Audi's. Amazing videos like always.

[@zmc6774]

It's funny because it's the opposite here in the U.S. We don't have a sport back version but we've always had the saloon version.

[@davidhunt4307]

I like the sports back if I'm honest I like the chunky look it has looks mean and it would look even better done up a bit .

[@kenzoevolution]

Test drove this the other day. It is bloody amazing!! Get it!!!

[@kenzoevolution]

I would drool over any content you make on this car.... :D :D

[@E92TilInfinity]

Fastest hot hatch in the world!

[@HypnOlli]

On track?..no hope.

[@E92TilInfinity]

Wasn't the 362hp pre facelift just as fast as an a45 on the track?, facelift is more powerful and is lighter

[@Tele302]

Yeah like we all have a track in our back garden lol

[@pheasantpluckersson2138]

Bud Chronic yeah ideal track car a 50k Audi 😂

[@kevindishrudy2948]

the music is great, i love this style of showing my loving car.

[@Damo-gq6wl]

Agree with the view on the Sportback as it just looks like an estate car and the saloon looks nicer

[@LivingLifeSlower]

Finally something close to the B7 RS4 saloon.

[@VPhuoc79]

My preference would be the Sportback, but sadly, it's not available in the US.

[@radosaw4616]

Hey my dad has the rs3 16 reg its a beast i would 100 percent recommend it

[@RumblestripDotNet]

0:46 a Ferrari in its natural environment. My next door neighbor is a Ferrari mechanic so I speak from experience.

[@shylomcnally8637]

Very good content , keep it up !!

[@DaToAaBe]

In the UK they are almost free! If you compare it to other countrys like for example Finland.

[@spitymaeh]

The RS3 is so much better than the M2.

[@constabletroy]

I feel like this series should be called "Why should you" not "why would you". It kind of sounds like you're attacking the car before the viewer gets to watch the video.

[@thatdichead]

How dare you eat in that car.... My wife thinks Im nuts but no food in the car ;)

[@Marc-ty5sz]

4:02 JWW pure gold

[@jonreeves7377]

This is guy is one of the best digital reviewers.

[@carspotnlsc]

Sam, please, just please, tell us your starbucks order!

[@Vampirebear13]

Sam the best video are when you, JWW, Paul and Archie overlap and share experiences.

[@Dylan-pt9mo]

i do respect the fact their take the piss out of archie's clickbait, and he just laughs it off.

[@Tom933]

Hurts so bad, when you say it isnt cheap. In Denmark is costs 118 grand..

[@Olivergoodchild2]

Archie seems like a nice guy but all the other youtubers seems to dislike him?

[@danielpego1003]

Oliver Goodchild it's because of his rat like features.

[@nhoff7703]

Sportback all day! That squated look from the rear is where its at!

[@dj331]

Looks spot on in nano grey

[@willhudson20]

Sam, come to Australia with Paul!!!!!

[@NoneNone-kp1qc]

Excellent review and very honest, 10/10

[@Antimatter.]

I can respect your decision the Rs3 is a incredible car but BMWs do have that special something that makes you feel part of the car , I think if It was going to be my only car the RS3 hands down, but as a second car for the more fun Beemer all the way !

[@jimettamarna417]

Thanks for this, Sam. For someone in the US (where it snows), would you get one super awd sedan: E63S, RS7 performance, or upcoming M5, or (for the same $130k) two cars: RS3 sedan and M2 (or GT350)?

[@grgfourtinas]

The RS3 sedan or sprtback would be my best daily driver! It has power , sound and luxury for my city.

[@sanderdegroot6227]

Liking this series a lot actually!

[@joehew1641]

He should get one

[@Swixperience]

Fuck it looks nice! Good video Sam. But Archie is everywhere... This guy omggggg

[@dawudsoloman7924]

6:23 spiders enjoying the ride :)

[@Xtefanno]

these soundtracks add a nice touch to the video =)

[@innerhammer]

The best red Audi's got is Classic Red Pearl. It looks great.

[@siphephelogcabashe5274]

The Sportback does things to me, especially in Nardo Grey...

[@owennato]

Buckinghamshire is NOT up North mate!!!

[@PinderProductions]

The new RS3 looks pretty epic. The saloon looks a lot better than the previous generation although I still prefer the sportback

[@ohlbatard466]

Nice weather, same here in France...

[@CarObsession]

I really like the RS3, I'd love to have a go in one!

[@hennnnerz]

No thrills?!? Did you not nail it while in Dynamic? Basically the same 0-60 time as the F-Type SVR.

[@AlexOliver555]

I'd have the RS3 just for the engine alone. Miles more characterful than the A45. This or an M140i which is a hell of a lot cheaper than both are my personal favourite super hot hatches or "Hyper Hatches."

[@Z06AM]

I would get mine with the wheels on your saloon but in nardo grey

[@scottsherman7069]

If I was to get an RS3 I would definitely get it in saloon form, just because the hatchback is ugly (in my opinion).

[@_dan_here_]

I think I will buy one because all the car vloggers I follow are reviewing it at the same time and now the only thing I can think about is an RS3.

[@paulic5561]

Even though I am in NZ ... I recognise those road - Harrold / Lavendon / Olney & Turvey and the A428 lol

[@rssmith7036]

RS3 + black pack + Black alloys = FIT

[@rssmith7036]

+Nardo grey

[@danielvidial2587]

But the question is, what is the difference between these 'New Models' and the pre-2017 RS3? Looks the same to me.

[@McBeamer94]

Daniel Vidial It looks pretty much the same but the engine in the facelifted model is different! For starters it now has its block and crank made of aluminium so it's 26 kgs lighter as a whole (these parts were made of steel before!)! It also has a revised injection system and a revised turbocharger, so now it churns out 400hp (instead of 367!) and 480nm of torque (instead of 465nm!)! Also, the new engine has a different cover, you can't see the 5 multipliers for the spark plugs anymore!

[@Darrentzx]

Daniel Vidial wider front grill, headlamps, idk what more

[@3pieceandacoke]

New led headlights, virtual cockpit, dynamic turn signals are the main differences in the 2017 facelift. They also updated the dual clutch.

[@NathanElcoate]

Great videography.

[@StephenGibson]

Archie seems to get quite a bit of stick from some of the guys. When you watch back Sol's wrap vid, Tge's last 2 & now this one it does come across a tad bad. I don't know Archie so he could be an irritating person or a really cool guy but he is being portrayed as the whipping boy right now. Maybe some of you in the 'gang' need to consider this. It's starting to make you guys look a little less fun.

[@Doogerauoy]

If I had the money, I’d import the rs3 sport back. For some reason, the states does not get the sport back, only the sedan.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Hooray henrys go wild in some serious audis, yh?
