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

[@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?

[@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]

TGE TV rah rah rah rah

[@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.

[@vishaalclips]

content is lit, thanks for the entertainment sam

[@williamsswamydas1250]

picture is so good

[@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.

[@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

[@TRHamza]

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

[@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

[@EqualizerCombatives]

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

[@swanblake]

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

[@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!

[@OllyT555]

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

[@vinnyf335]

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

[@sapientbudgie5652]

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

[@mustangparker7150]

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

[@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.

[@calimag1]

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

[@AJ3]

"Heading up north to Buckinghamshire" FFS Sam

[@adamgalbraith2829]

Been absolutely loving your content as of late

[@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

[@thomasbailey4139]

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

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

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

[@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!

[@Larkc-ty5sz]

4:02 JWW pure gold

[@shylomcnally8637]

Very good content , keep it up !!

[@gregmayled]

Nice to see we are sharing Lakely Inspired Music 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.

[@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

[@borjastick]

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

[@alexfleming7862]

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

[@RumblestripDotNet]

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

[@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

[@fabianespinozaiii6058]

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

[@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 😂

[@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.

[@beekyiscoolio]

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

[@willhudson20]

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

[@sanderdegroot6227]

Liking this series a lot actually!

[@jonreeves7377]

This is guy is one of the best digital reviewers.

[@ButIern]

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

[@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

[@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 😲

[@NoneNone-kp1qc]

Excellent review and very honest, 10/10

[@MrKM09]

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

[@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.

[@BlakesGarage]

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

[@LivingLifeSlower]

Finally something close to the B7 RS4 saloon.

[@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

[@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.

[@marleehallberg768]

Thanks for bringing back the lounge music

[@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

[@altereddata4730]

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

[@Damo-gq6wl]

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

[@carspotnlsc]

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

[@Dylan-pt9mo]

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

[@Thereviewerman5]

👍🏼 I just love these Audi videos!

[@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.

[@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.

[@tcfocus4809]

4:35- just do it, you won't regret it

[@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 .

[@kevindishrudy2948]

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

[@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!

[@ohlbatard466]

Nice weather, same here in France...

[@spitymaeh]

The RS3 is so much better than the M2.

[@thatdichead]

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

[@radosaw4616]

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

[@Z06AM]

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

[@dj331]

Looks spot on in nano grey

[@NathanElcoate]

Great videography.

[@nhoff7703]

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

[@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.

[@Vampirebear13]

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

[@Xtefanno]

these soundtracks add a nice touch to the video =)

[@VPhuoc79]

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

[@DaToAaBe]

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

[@joehew1641]

He should get one

[@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.

[@innerhammer]

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

[@jamesg-44]

That was on the A428 Bedford road wasn't it. I recognise the village.

[@CarObsession]

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

[@Tom933]

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

[@maltees3228]

3:31 is that Archies favourite town on the left?

[@grgfourtinas]

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

[@rssmith7036]

RS3 + black pack + Black alloys = FIT

[@rssmith7036]

+Nardo grey

[@PinderProductions]

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

[@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)?

[@wolfman2926]

Would you take this over the cla 45?

[@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.

[@_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.

[@ottson]

Doesn't alcantara steering wheels wear out pretty quickly?

[@hulohulo]

How would you compare this car to CLA AMG, which is Mercs response to the RS3 saloon? I'm thinking of buying but I csnt chose between the 2.

[@Darrentzx]

Aamir Ali rs3 sounds and looks better

[@Kxji]

I have been in a A3 & CLA250 both cars are very similar, the A3 gearbox sucks compared to the CLA, but none of those are the highest spec, the interior of the CLA looks better & is. The CLA backseat sucks I'm 5'6 my head was touching the ceiling.

[@Horizon301.]

Koji Takata Mercedes interiors are bad and have poor quality compared to Audi. The gearbox with the Audi is also far better. The CLA is a pretty crap car to be honest

[@paulic5561]

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

[@tyrereviews]

What's Archies new car? Was it the new NSX? It's never mentioned enough.

[@ethanfletcher3113]

Did you damage your voice over the birthday weekend? 😂😂

[@dawudsoloman7924]
