Sold my (brilliant) F90 for an RS6 despite all the You Tube drag races and car reviews telling me otherwise. I am so pleased with it - the balance between performance and daily usability is much better. Miss my M5’s seats but the refinement, poise and looks of the RS6 are peerless for car in this class. I love it.
I did the same... had an F90 comp, then cayenne GT... now RS6 performance... I concur, however the performance, I Think is faster 9/10 times than the other two, so I feel like I havent compromised lol
I've driven the RS e-tron GT on track at Neuburg and it's amazing; I'd really love Audi to come out with a smaller EV like an electric RS3 with all wheel drive to add agility to the traction.
My dream set up is: 1) RS Etron gt daily driver in _Daytona grey._ 2) RS5 coupe for the wife (she has A5 b9.5 coupe now). 3) RS7 weekend driver in _Nardo grey._
8y great exterior..a very cheap interior the build quality, and below par material have been used...my rs3 8p interior has better quality materials.. the 8v had the best interior. We need the 8y with an 8v interior.
Out of RS3/RS5/RS6 the RS5 was the one which suited me the most. RS6 has V8 and unbeliveable berformance but its a quite big car. Although RS3 has a new multiple-disk clutch, its still front wheel biased car. For me The RS5 is the one which has sporty feeling and creates connection between driver and the car. In comparision to M cars The rs5 is more daily and convienent car, but due to TORSEN it might be less enjoyable :) It depends what you expect.. * As far as i remember RSQ3 doesn't have a new mutliplile disk clutch on the rear axle, but cupra VZ5 has.
Been lucky to have owned two BMW M cars: F82 M4 and an F90 M5 CP; and two performance Audis: an S5 and currently an Audi C8 RS6. They all do different things brilliantly and any one of them could be the perfect car for your circumstances. For example, my M4 was by far the most entertaining car I owned but my experience with M cars is that they offer minimal compromise in their brief to be a driver’s car more than anything else. That is great when you are driving alone and keen to exploit the performance fully but, for the rest of the time, it can become wearing, especially on long journeys or with the family in tow. Audi RS, in my experience at least, offers a better balance of usability in a “performance” car. I’ll add that, in my experience at least, the opportunity to exploit the performance in these modern fast cars is incredibly rare on the public road. Sure my M5 gave me massive bragging rights but I can count on one hand the number of times I was ever able to demonstrate that from behind the wheel.
Nooooo!!! I wanted to go to sleep 😂😂😂 OK, so I'll have an interesting Sunday! Thanks Thomas for this, will be fun. For sure better than Titanic, if we talk about 3,5 hours 😂
You add such a special and realistic touch to your reviews! really enjoy all of your videos and i wish you somehow would create a TV show like a Top Gear or something . Really we .. im always suprised how authentic these videos are. 10/10 review as always! Keep well. From South Africa.
Great reviews!!! I would choose the RS5 because for me it has the best looks, ideal size, and best overall balance amongst all the vehicles. The RS7 is an amazing car, but its a little too big for my liking, and I actually prefer the looks of the 2014-15 RS7 compared to the new one. The RS3 would be a great choice, but its just to small if you have people riding in the back. I cant believe my 2011 VW GTi has more interior space than that!!!
Great and detailed review. In my opinion all cars presented are more or less Autobahnmobiles. Not deserving even of being shortlisted if you are looking for sporty car.
They're all aimed at different buyers, so you can't say one is 'better' than another. I have the RSQ8, as I need a practical daily that can also tow my Lund fishing boat. I have a Porsche 718 GT4 for play. My only other choice was an RS6 or RS4, but both were a bit too low, hence the Q8. The RSQ3 was way too small.
Did you say at the end that the Taycan suspension is more comfortable than the E-Tron RS GT? Or is the e-Tron RS GT is more comfortable than the Taycan?
31:05 Erstmal vielen dank für das Video, ich bin seit Monaten stark am überlegen ob RS3 oder RS5, finde beides unglaublich schöne Autos und deine Videos sind sehr Umfangreich. Als Deutscher, möchte ich dir aber gerne etwas konstruktive Kritik zu deiner Englisch Aussprache geben. Ich kenne das Problem nämlich, du verschluckst ab und zu die Worte sehr, nimm dir lieber Zeit, cutte es raus, sprich etwas langsamer. Oft kündigt sich so ein Verschlucker schon mit falscher aussprache 1-2 Worte vorher an, du sagst z. B 450 Horspowa anstatt "Hoarsepauer". Du kannst einfach ein Tick langsamer sprechen und "langsame" schwierige Passagen im Edditing des Videos um 10-15% beschleunigen, das fällt wenig auf bei Ruhiger Kameraführung und entsprechend langsameren Bewegungen.
What camera equipment do you use for in-car shots? Your videos are always so crisp and clear! Audi is introducing a new naming convention, assigning even numbers to electric vehicles and odd numbers to combustion-powered models.
so we used the Sony FDR which is great in handling but cannot do 4K 60p. Now using the DJI Action which can do 4k 60p but overheats from time to time. If you refer to the shots in the car where you see my face, thats the huge camera mounted, the Panasonic GH6
I understand your comments on "empty time screen" On a Garmin I tried a screen with all the info, and I need to say: less is more. For a protrek with a new jacket, I think the watch is just too expensive. Hardly any new R&D only some designwork on the resin. The clockwork already was paid for in the protrek. Still a nice upgrade for a master of G with the mole on the back, I like it.
Audi rs3 is driven in the RS1 mode which allows u to put suspension in comfort setting. Allthough its an rs mode, its more the individiual mode. Rs2 mode is the real deal.
To be fair Lee u shouldn't of been tight with parking I always over estimate my parking and do double what I think ends up costing me a alot but not as much as a fine.
RSQ3 has an interior that pre-dates the RS3 8Y. No one wants the gear stick in an auto these days. The dials in the RSQ3 are outdated as well. You need to move on mate.
If there's a dip on the road, everyone on that road would be in the ditch. He's distracted by something his phone may be and panicked, but why does his dad have to film it.. not something a first driver needs but all for his utube views. That's all that's matters
@@mauricetoussaint7283 I have a 21 RS5 sportback with the black octic package, and I don't know what you're talking about, that car has the best handling ever, even in the rain.
Rs5 is not deserving of the rs badge by any means. It’s a boat and handles horribly in the twisties. It’s decently quick and will get you around in rain and snow but it is far from a sports car.
@@fzr1000981 “by a lot” not true at all. They split 50/50 at best. TTRS was much faster at Nürburgring Nordschleife, Interlagos, Contridom, etc. Oddly, the rs3 only won at wet handling in testing despite both having Daza and Quattro. Quit commenting on shit like you know what you’re talking about.
Why? Why should an RS3 be any slower than an RS5 or even RS4? They're all RS models and they don't compete, as people who buy an RS5 won't be buying RS3's and visa-vesa. You'll be complaining next that a TTRS has too much power. FFS, get a life mate.
According to whom? I've owned 6, from a 2002 A6 to the SQ8 and R8 I have now, and have never, ever had any real issues with one. Just keep up the regular maintenance and they're solid as a rock.

RS7 is my dream car. RS5 in a close second. They are just so damn good looking.
Walked past a blacked out RS7..the front hood is massive the wheels are massive ..what a menacing car..ppl stare at it.
agree with this. Rs5 /RS7/R8 I need atleast 2 of em and im grateful they are not SUPER EXPENSIVE

You don’t get it. I respect your opinion. Did you drive this specific model?
I expected this. In my mind RS7 is also the best.
currently run the RS5 competition package. It's the best car I've owned
Wish they had more colors
RS 3 8y best Audi ever 🔥❤️ 5 cylinder , 🔥💣
I own one, lots of cheap parts used. Not the kind of quality you will find in other RS cars. Hardly best Audi ever.

Nope, I dont believe the VZ5 has it or any other Cupra. RS3 has it, RSQ3 does not. On VW side Golf R & Tiguan R have it, but Troc R does not.
RS4?
RS5 makes no sense when there's M3/M3 Touring, unless you really like Audi and want their RS car
Interesting thoughts!

RSQ3 for me. It's the right size for where I live.
Did you say at the end that the Taycan suspension is more comfortable than the E-Tron RS GT? Or is the e-Tron RS GT is more comfortable than the Taycan?
Etron gt is set up more comfortable

RSQ3 is my pick, perfectly proportioned and practical size, good price point, better to live with than an RS3 and you still get the 2.5l inline 5 🤩
Where is the RS4?
last rs4 was made in 2008 i think..
@@justinlee4270no it’s still in production
Its called Rs5
Why would the rs4 avant be skipped, it’s arguably better than the rs6 🤦♂️…
You obviously haven't driven an RS6 to say that or probably an RS4 either. I have owned both, RS6 is a beast, RS4 is just a bigger RS3.
Okay billy big bollocks! 😂
RS3 Hatch not available us US unfortunately.
RS3 for me.
Audi rs3 is driven in the RS1 mode which allows u to put suspension in comfort setting. Allthough its an rs mode, its more the individiual mode. Rs2 mode is the real deal.
Actually, you can configure both very individual
To be fair Lee u shouldn't of been tight with parking I always over estimate my parking and do double what I think ends up costing me a alot but not as much as a fine.
R8 is the dream.
1. RS3 HATCH(DREAM HATCHBACK)
2. S8(DREAM SALOON)
3. RSQ8(DREAM SUV)
❤❤😊
So RS4 is not good..?
Like RS5, same cars just different body type
But they won't let you have these small details in the UK
All good
Can’t decide between the 3 or the 5
cant beat the best. Rs 3 😎

Rs 3 👑
Rsq3 s an awesome car I thought of selling it now never will
I will go for RS6.
RS5🎉❤❤
I really don't like when you whistle exhaust police.. it's stupid...you can later put police siren sound instead whistle..my opinion
Rsq3 has best controls...buttons dials and a gear stick...why didnt they put this in rs3
RSQ3 has an interior that pre-dates the RS3 8Y. No one wants the gear stick in an auto these days. The dials in the RSQ3 are outdated as well. You need to move on mate.
imo best is rs3 rs5 and rsq8 and r8.

Etron facia is even better looking than the Taycan I feel.

looooong time ago: ruclips.net/video/LWTHNTJrBcs/видео.html
RSQ8 the best
