@@EastWood2004 I disagree with the dealer. My wife owns one and she gets compliments everywhere she goes, literally.

Great review Micah and family! I hope you can review the car I cross-shopped this with, the BMW M240i. I ultimately chose that car despite it having fewer doors and me having older kids (they fit fine....lol).
Seems like the perfect car. Small enough for the city, decent boot size, physical HVAC buttons, integrated non-tablet screen, will keep its value because of being a 5cyl. Should just buy one ugh
The deterring factor for me is the price. It’s way to much money for the size of the car and features. I’m also worried about reliability since in this car there is that humming sound and the center armrest is broken. And this is a brand new car!
Such a cool car! Just wish the front and rear were a little more subtle like the last gen car. The RS torque splitter sounds amazing. Wanted to ask if there’s an R32 GTR family review coming…haha. Trying my best to convince my wife it will work with our new little one 😅
I really like that car and that color, and would have loved it in my 20's or 30's! However at almost 54 years old, it's just not my style anymore. I'm much more into something that looks normal and luxurious and surprises with it's performance, like maybe something with "Blackwing" in it's name. 😎
@@weirdshibainu A nice dream, but at twice the starting price of an RS3, not for me. I'm actually very interested in the S5 Sportback, but have to decide if I can justify ~$60k for a car that I would drive about 20 miles a day.
I have the RS3 and I wouldn't. The carbon spoiler is a little bigger, but it is a lot of money. You can buy aftermarket if needed. It's mainly a difference in looks. Honestly, the car is great with no options. The tech pack is good if you want the HUD and sound system. Then just add the visual options you want. I would advise against the carbon ceramic brakes.
So refreshing to see the family review a not-so-friendly powerhouse. I was gripping at the edge of my seat wondering if you're really gonna push it - The smile on your face shows how important it is that you do indeed review the M2. You're killin' it!
WOW!!! I thought there was something wrong with your recording. That hum would drive me absolutely bonkers! And to think it's in an expensive new "high end" car to boot. But it is in a fun retro-70's color!
That hum isn't on every new RS3 thank goodness as I have one with the ceramic brakes, as he said it must have been driven hard by someone previously or is a problem specific to that car.
That 5-cylinder sound is special and unfortunately, not long for this world; It's too bad we don't get the hatch version in North America (and new RS3 at all in Canada actually). Some of my best motoring experiences was cruising in my N55 M2 alongside/with my friend's RS3. I love how the OG M2 sounds, but that 2.5T 5-cylinder was pure music. I agree with you, the small sedan form factor is quite limited for a family, and almost necessitates a roof-box if it's your only vehicle.
What is that humming noise? Hopefully it's not the diff making the noise. Edit: nevermind. I see that it gets mentioned. It almost sounds like bad bearing
RUclipsrs are getting put in jail for posting videos of endangering children while spirited driving. I would hate to see you guys get in legal trouble. I drive my cars like I stole them, but don’t leave evidence on the internet lol. just a heads up!!
I really appreciate the concern! There's a broad spectrum of approaches to risk management among different people. Based on a healthy background of professional driver training and high-performance driving experience, I'm more comfortable than some driving in a spirited fashion...assuming the conditions and environment allow. That said, I have zero interest pushing the bounds of safety or the law. My kiddo loves driving quickly and I'm happy to share those experiences, but the safety of my family and other motorists comes first. Cheers!
Nice! Was hoping guys were gonna review this one. Heard a lot of good things about it, and your thoughts are always appreciated. Haven't seen this particular color, though. I like it! Happy belated New Years! Thanks Muzio fam:)
Just found your channel. As an owner of a 2022 BMW G80 M3 Competition XDrive(Skyscraper Grey w Carbon exterior+interior packages), I feel its the greatest high performance daily driver ever manufactured in the history of automobiles. Highly recommend you guys to review on your channel... You may buy one quickly afterwards.. haha
What a monster of a car, that engine! Why not bring the RS3 hatch to the US? We do not all want Q3s :/. Tbh, prefer the Golf R since it gets the same trick rear diff, plenty of performance, and the latest rumor is that they are getting rid of the haptic wheels on the steering wheel. Ooooo but that 5 cylinder engine, so nice...especially without the brake drone.
Family review? Just look at the BIG smiles during driving impressions and windy road test! Just think- in a few short years "Kiddoo" will be the expert in driver ed class!
The RS3 is amazingly plain looking like most Audi's, and that is just fine. The 5-cylinder engine is the highlight. I wouldn't mind having fun with one for a few years, but it doesn't strike me as a keeper.
I love the RS cars, but would never consider them as "family" cars, unless you are a family of one or two. Although, I have the A5 coupe, and it's similarly as family friendly. Love the review, can never see too many Audi reviews!. Special mention to Evie and the Awesome portrait photo in the Flying Eyes promo. She might have a modeling career in the future! You guys da best!!

Especially with the matching interior!

Wait, is this a USA car with an alcantara steering wheel? Also was this car fitted with Trofeo's ? (noisiest DOT approved tire in the world)
I think carwow said the UK doesn't get the Alcantara steering wheel
Neither does the USA according to Audi which is why I am curious about this car
I love this stupid car.. lol
I have one on order, but not to certain is was a wise decision at this point!😄
Micah! I'm a level 5 vulgarian...I couldn't catch ur joke at the beginning. More conscice cussing please!!
This guy has got to be the most annoying dude ever! Way too positive 🙄
Family reviews of performance cars are awesome for guys like me who dream of shoehorning their entire family into an M2. It really is great insight.
So refreshing to see the family review a not-so-friendly powerhouse. I was gripping at the edge of my seat wondering if you're really gonna push it - The smile on your face shows how important it is that you do indeed review the M2. You're killin' it!

That hum isn't on every new RS3 thank goodness as I have one with the ceramic brakes, as he said it must have been driven hard by someone previously or is a problem specific to that car.
The armrest is a ratchet style to be placed in any height. Pulling up all the way resets it. It’s nice to have the option to set the height.

Solid vehicle! Give Evie some some clapping power sometimes lol
It's a very nice car, but that $60k-$75k range is loaded with cars. Unless you are a die hard Audi fan, there is some serious competition.
Evie and Kiddo had the best expressions during the needless acceleration segment. 🤣
What is that humming noise? Hopefully it's not the diff making the noise.
Edit: nevermind. I see that it gets mentioned. It almost sounds like bad bearing
Yes please do review the M2 when its available. (I am genuinely curious to see if kids can be comfortable in that back seat)

Turbo blue is pretty sweet for no charge option, but I still went with Daytona gray!

Ironically, KBB doesn't let you see the current market value of the car. Probably because it's low production numbers but still disappointing.

Dodge Charger Hellcat Jailbreak. The best family👪car ever....
Of course you should review an M2. Families drive more than just minivans and three row SUVs.
Don't like these over the 8v imo they could have upgraded and just ran the 8v longer
티셔츠가 너무 멋짐.
Great review, as usual! Still, all of that talk about "fun packages" and no innuendo iguana 🤔
You can be the dad car of the US and start reviewing used sports/Lux cars
It's GREEN!
Clearly Micah just wanted to drive this more. No reason this should be on the channel.
You both are the cutest couple ever. Such fun people. Love this channel.
Wonderful review of a high performance car with the Family!!! Sunday morning nirvana:)!
This car is a press car that was reviewed by many others and prob was beat to hell…hence the noise.
Cringy
Good choice. Mini R8 and actually baby seat or child at the back.
You asked if I like the look..... I absolutely love the look... I would definitely choose the green.
No one will not see you in that wild color. That's almost a safety feature.
Why isnt it available in Canada? Will it be for 2024???
It would be good if they have the hatchback
