Please stop using the wide angle or fish islands that you're using now when you film these. It distorts the car so that you can't tell what it really looks like and it distorts the background.

This is the second one that I had to stop a couple minutes in because I just couldn't tell what the car actually looked like.
No. Water cooling is bad, running between 97 and 100 celsius all the time. Tuning capabilities depend on a new intercooler. Bmws run around 10 degrees lower. So it’s not a perfect example of engineering.
@@analb5306what do you build your argument on ? I have been driving Audis for 15 years, I have 2 in my garage at the moment. I have the honesty to tell when something isn’t optimal about the cars I love. And you, somewhere I guess around 19 years of age, call me a « bmw fanboy » because I just point out a fact ? Bmw cooling system is better than Audi cooling system. It’s a fact, data, numbers, call it whatever you want. I think you’re an Audi fanboy, and you forget to be honest with you car. You gotta love the good things and learn to live with the drawbacks, not ignore them. But you’re just too young.
But why doesn’t it turnESC off in the first place? I’m sure when you want to put a car in drift mode, you don’t want it to hold back that much that it doesn’t want to drift anyway. In my car I have to turn ESC off before I can enable the drift mode. So there is a bit of stuff to do before it’s in drift mode, I guess just to make sure you are sure about entering it and are aware of the danger or so. However if you can enable it just by the press of a button, it would be logical it would turn off ESC straight away. If you drive a rwd car and want to really drift it, you don’t keep all of that stuff on either right.
@@DnBDubstepManiak1 Its a safety feature. If you really want to drift, you have to confirm that. So if you don't have that much experience in drifting, the car will safe you and maybe it will avoid a bad crash.
I really like these videos, but it bugs me when reviewers complain about something with the car that is 100% their fault, like the ESC /drift mode complaints in this video, ESC wasn't even fully off. Don't complain about something what the car does when you don't have it in the right mode...
I agree with you Lukas. I made order for RS3 8Y in November 2021, I can not wait to get it, so I watch my favourite channel AutoTop NL and I hear that Torque Rear sucks....This engine has potencial easily to get +550HP and fight heavy M3 G80 xdrive od track for less price.
you haven't deactivated the ESC completely in torque rear mode... you have to press the ESC button for 5 seconds to completely get rid of any intervention.....
Thank you. I literally just put a deposit down on one of these today, and he had me nervous. I didn’t know about the ESC button. Much appreciated I was nervous for a min there. That torque rear mode is one of the reasons I decided on the RS3 now. I had an S3 and although I liked it, it definitely did have understeer
@@hlf_coder6272 I tested the new RS3 with winter tires in the Blackforest region last November, and I made sure that you can disable the ESC completely before I signed my order! I look forward to getting it (hopefully) soon...
If Audi was to make a successor to the old B7 RS4, I feel like it would be this car. Which to me is a compliment because the B7 RS4 is one of my favorite Audi's ever. I love this car's size and also the muscular look to it. Also that inline 5 cylinder engine is amazing!
7:12, if im not mistaken the wheel you have there is the 'optional wheel', at least in the UK that one comes as part of the Driver Assistance Pack, while the flat bottomed wheel is the default option. I may be incorrect though, as there isn't one available to me with an alcantara wrap here, the flat bottomed wheel is leather only
I thought you can change the dash cluster layout via switching drive modes but when you switched to dynamic/sport it was unchanged. Figure that out? Cant wait to get mine hope i dont regret black but will wrap purple right away anyways
Finally someone tinted the back windows. Hardly ever see that. I just love this car, I want one but I had to settle for a Golf R cause it's much cheaper :)
I really like the new RS3, and I prefer the saloon over the sportback. I do have to say that black on black is one of the best specs for this car, I feel that there is too much black trim, and with a contrasting color it’s very noticeable
I really appreciate the way you are driving. You keep a distance and brake in time. There a lot of POV autobahn videos where they drive like complete maniacs. Btw if you like the RS3 have you ever driven the Ford Focus RS mk2 with the Volvo engine?
Hey max have you tried disabling stability mode? Press and hold the traction controll button…. It should deactivate the traction controll but continue to hold and it will or should deactivate stability controll… which should allow you to drift freely.. cars are my life and I appreciate the work you do for the channel ! Keep it up 👍
The revs come towards you because of if u would be in manual mode u could see the revs better. If they would go the other way it would be really hard to see if u were at 5000 or 6000 revs
How does it feel to live my DREAM at the fact that the new ‘22 model has yet to make its appearance in the States because they are having emissions problems in Canada.
Guys, I saw better tests from you. Learn to turn the ESC fully off, before commenting on the torque vectoring. And driving very high speeds on busy highways under wet/rainy condition is not cool. PS: I own the RS3 8Y hatchback since two months and it is a truly convincing package.
Awesome as Always!! By the way GoPro will always over heat as they think everyone will use outside, thus no cooling needed....Duh! Action can be inside!
7:58. No dude. Cannot forgive any misses here and there. For the price of this cars they should be perfect. Not a car for old people, the ones who can afford that
Really nice car and im maybe planning on getting one. But definitely a older modell without OPF, sound is much much better and more aggressive compared to this OPF modells...

It's 100% become my dream car in the short while that it's been out.
One of the coolest cars ever
Laughable. It's ugly as hell. My 2018 RS3 Limo is superior in design as well as in interior.

Thanks, absolutely true. It's funny when you complain but just can't set and drive the car lol

You were not in ESC off-mode... It says ESC sport-mode @13:32. That is why it is limiting the power
Thought so too
Wintertires limited to 240
Max: Lets stay close around it
- does 270 xD
I was wondering if anybody noticed that 😂😂😂
LOL wtf isn't he scared going that speeds in wet? Isn't chance acqua planing high?
Germany makes the best cars for sure 💪🏻
watching a video of my favorite car on my favorite car channel, what a way to start the day!
Vorsprung durch Technik at its best.
That car sounds unbelievable. Pretty much perfect as far I’m concerned. Loud, but not obnoxious, and the perfect tone.
I still in love with the previous RS3 model frame. Look more Beast!
This looks more beast
The best and most beautiful in it's class. A BMW lover saying.
New RS3 is beastmode.
Lovely design!
There is lots of video that people RS3 drifting on dry and you can't drift it even on wet... Weird.
I love the 5-cylinder-sound! The new RS3 has some nice features, gotta admit that!

I still maintain this iteration is the first REAL RS3, Audi did good with this one, for sure. Great video, as always 👊🏻👏🏻
Awesome sound on the Rs3. Please hire me. You have the best job ever
I just love German cars!
mini viper engine..would still take this over the A45S

The RS3 doesn't seem to be offered in Canada. Hopefully that changes soon. This vehicle is wicked.
Glad you mentioned the stupid airstrip rev counter. It's the hockey stick for me. And round steering ftw !
I can't stop watching of this beauty!!!
Definitely the sedan, it has one of the sexiest car rear ends I've ever seen.
The beast 💥💥💥

Been waiting for this one!!!! 🔥💙
The sedan looks better this time.
One of my favorite cars and my favorite youtuber… great combo🤩
When you say 'my name is max' it feels like 'am the king of cars'
I wonder if it still has the open differentials at the front and rear axles.
Receiving no answer. I did my own search. Yes, the open differentials still exist in the 8Y's.
The Matrix LEDs on this car is on another level. This is the only car in its segment to have this feature.
New Ford Fiesta 2022 have Matrix Led Adaptive 🙌🏻🧠😂
BMW have laser headlights
Great video. ☺️

Didn't know Michael Fassbender was into fast cars that much
The exhaust tip joke was a good one
15:25 looking that list one thing make me curious - volvo 1997 =) like 20 years away and truly opened potential
does this have after market parts on it to improve the sound? or is this stock?

Thinking about this RS3 if not for the gear knob. Ceramics with dynamic package. Can steel brakes handle high speeds? (over 150km/hr)
Its not about the speed its more for track IE: very regular breaking. Ceramics don't get as hot so less break fade.
