RS3 because of exclusivity alone, not to mention resale and that wonderfully funky inline 5 cylinder. Of course I’m biased as I just got mine this past week and absolutely love it.
Great review, RS3 over everything including the upcoming M2 even though we lack details at this point. I'm just not a BMW fan and RS3, with it's unique engine, utility, and track capability has me sold.
@@backseatdriver8902 Thank you for getting back to me rarely happens! Quality in the cabin doesn't rattle because to much cost cutting in the interior?
No. None of Audi's haldex equipped vehicles have ever been able to send 100% power to the rear. It send up to 50% and of THAT 50%, 100% can be sent to either side in the rear. There's several breakdowns on the internet of how haldex works.
NO it can send 50% to the rear and the rear diff can send 100% of that 50% to either one rear wheel. In theory if the front wheels are off of the ground, then 100% goes to the rear...
There’s no point for an rs version if the engine is basically the same. Just get an s3 and upgrade it. Rs3 is just an upgraded s3. Not that much of a difference
The difference is the engine. The RS3 has the 5-cylinder to the S3 4-cylinder. Not to mention changed track width up front and rear differential setup. Oh, and about 100 hp
Not the same as an s3 at all, and I have an s3. 5 cylinder engine, different suspension setup, wider, lower and much more....so yea, definitely not the same

Any drawbacks? Just got my allocation a week ago now, and worried it's a bad decision with no test drive?
Impressive small performance sedan, also probably the last of the 5 cyl engines A-1 review
I like Marks reviews, he’s very fair.
This was a great review of the Audi RS3. I'm glad the gentleman compared it to the S3 as well as other vehicles. Thank you CarGurus.
Well thank you for watching!
After two black RS Audis, this time I had to have color and got the RS-only Kyalami Green, love it!
I'd like to see it in a French Racing Blue.

Love Audi Soo much
I cannot wait for my order to arrive!
Just got my allocation after exactly 1 year! Have you received it yet?
Oh yeah got it last fall of 22’. Worth every penny!

I do get some rattles on rough roads in colder weather (in Detroit). Its worth it for that engine! @@speeddemon311
As much as I love the green paint, the M2 would win because of the manual.
Can it send 100% of the engines power to the rear wheels? Anyone have a link to this info?

Cornflower blue
Nice review. But it's a rich people toy.
..and all the better for being so …
@@davidhayes4814 lol
I'm a simple person
Either Type R or Dark Horse for me
As much as I hate how automakers choose grayscale colors for a lot of cars, I do think that black and grey look much better with that grill.
IT doesnt look mean anymore
JUST THE OPPOSITE! GET YOUR EYES CHECKED😂
Nice car but I would pass on the loud color.

They are completely different, you have no clue!
Oh wait.....BMW makes an uglier grill...
Leave it to the Germans to design ugly cars
Three comments buddy all nonsense! Educate yourself kiddo 😅
Is that the ugliest front grill you have ever seen?

How did you even get one dude, almost everything is waitlisted.
