Yeah.. that's when I clicked off this video. If my man can't even tell me about this Easter egg, I'm damn sure he doesn't know Jack shit about this car!
I really appreciate the fact that the center touch screen is integrated into the dash instead of tacked on to the top of the dash, sticking up like it was added after the interior design was finished. So many cars nowadays bolt it to the top of the dash making it look like an afterthought. I drive a 2021 RS7 which also has it integrated into the dash.
Just traded my S3 for RS3. Love the RS3 and miss the S3. So far I've noticed the S3 more nimble and responsive. RS3 bit heavier on the steering and not as twitchy on acceleration. More like a freight train compared to the S3 with lots of top end.
I’m strongly considering getting an RS3 when my 2018 (B9) S4 nears 100,000 miles. The biggest downside is that the RS3 has a cheapened interior compared to the older and less expensive S4. The S4 also has my preferred dash layout with a central round tach and central digital mph and gear position indicator. The steering is something I can used to. The seeming disconnect between the front and rear axles might be partly due to the rear differential, which is like the one I optioned in my S4. Besides the I-5 motor, the small size and relatively low weight are major attractions for me.
Just about at one year with this. I have a 1 year update video coming. But I haven't had any issues. On the used market it's still worth about what I paid. Can't complain with that ;)
2023 doesn’t have garage door buttons behind rear view mirror, r u sure 2024 does? Another cuestión does the carbon fiber dash eliminate the light stripe on the dash itself?
lol I'm very sure our 2024 does have them since I programed them and use them to open our garage ;) We don't have a light strip on the dash, just the matte carbon
We could have order this with the Alcantara wheel. But we like the perforated leather better. I like the wheel, just wish it was a tad smaller with the flat bottom. Might get a cool aftermarket one at some point
If you had a choice between the Audi S3 and RS3 - which would you choose? Currently, I am the market for a new car and have narrowed my options down to those two options. Unfortunately, none of the local dealerships ever have either of those models in stock and when they do that are immediately sold - so I am unable to test drive either. I am seeking an executive luxury daily driver with power/kick and extremely smooth shifting. I have no intention of ever drifting but tend to have a lead foot on the highway lol so would like the ability to do high speeds easily. The 5 cylinder engine on the RS3 sounds so tempting but I wonder if it's too much uneeded boost during quick trips around town.
Heres my comparison I made with our S3 and the RS3. ruclips.net/video/rtkCRZR_TvQ/видео.html We are now selling the S3. Just depends on your price range really. We have the S3 listed for $33,999 right now. www.championcarcompany.com/inventory/audi/s3/c011769/
back seat on s3 is smaller right? i test drove one and it was cramped AS F. but in your video here of rs3 seems bit more roomier. did they make car slightly bigger in interior? can this be verified somehow@@BrosFOURRSpeed
@BrosFOURRSpeed , the steering feel you talk about at the end could also be part of how the car is balanced and puts the power down. I suggest trying to drive it in different modes such as Dynamic mode. Please report back. Nice video and car. If things go well I might pick up an 8Y around Christmas time.
Yeah we've been driving it a bit more since this. Been playing with RS Performance and Dynamic Mode. Also the RWD setting. SO I'm slowly dialing in how it feels. I'll definitely make an update video as we get a few mods on the car and run it in more
An S5 sportback would be a great option for a daily. A bit smoother transmission, plenty of power and more space. We might consider one of those if this car gets too small. So not a bad alternative.
Depends on what better means. The RS3 is a faster car and more performance focused. RS5 is a bit more luxurious. Personally I would buy the M3 Comp over the S5 since they cost the same. I'd go for a used S5 Sportback if I wanted that one. Can get those for $40k and have a good blend. I don't think the RS5 is performance focuses enough to wear the RS badge.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed oh ok, gotcha! Thanks for the info. Definitely helpful. Oh btw, what are your thoughts on the M2? Is that a better performance car than those cars mentioned as well as better than a Supra? Sorry for the questions, I’m just trying to figure out which car to get. I’m more focused on performance but I do want a little luxury as well I guess
new to the channel Great content Im cross shopping the RS3 with the Giulia QV Please share your thoughts on how they differ and if price were not a factor which would u choose? I know you just picked up the Audi so its prob a stupid question but very curious Thx
We had the Giulia Quad for a week and it was a ton of fun! I need to drive the RS3 more. We're still slowly running it in. Havent really driven it too hard. I drove the Alfa really hard and loved it! So far this definitely has better tech. But that Alfa was a blast! $20k difference tho. But I feel they are each worth their price and a lot of fun. Alfa handles a bit better and steers more direct. But this has much better traction. Still need to drive the RS3 harder as we break it in
@@BrosFOURRSpeed the audi is better handling. Wider wheels on the cars would greatly increase the handling too. Obviously with an 20k price diff it might feel better idk.
@@DudeThedudesky Steering in the Alfa is better. It’s more direct. The wider front wheels and the FWD biased drivetrain make the RS3 handle weird under acceleration. RS3 has better traction tho.

I don't think people have had issues like that with the RS3 platform. Plenty of 100k mile 8V RS3's out there. Seems like a solid engine that pretty robust
Not worth it. That package also requires an additional $1,000 sport exhaust. I'll be changing the exhaust anyways. And really don't mind the blue on the roof and chrome badges. I also like the contrast on the wheels. I can also make the roof and badges black on my own if I really wanted to

Everyone shouldn't be worried about cars right now (although it might be safer than having your money in the bank in US Dollars lol). If this situation with Iran escalates to a full war look out! Good to have electric back up as well ;) Gasoline may become obsolete soon! Direct involvement from Iran, specifically, could lead to a major hike in gas prices (especially in California). Iran is the world's third-largest oil producer in OPEC, or the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which collectively pumps roughly 40% of the global crude oil supply. Think about it!
Nothing will happen, not for a long time. The 2030 Agenda is more important to the architects of the matrix then silly wars.

Ya know.. I was like, this guy sold his Nissan gtr and has a audi rs3... I didn't get it.. I sold my Nissan gtr a couple months back.. And now I'm looking at rs3😂

@@shahulhusman I’d like one at some point. But we don’t need a car that big right now. RS3 is my wife’s car. She likes a smaller car. In the future an SQ8 or RS6 would be something we’d look at if we need the space
The shiny black flares in the front grill make the front end look cheap. I miss the look of the 2020 S3/RS3. That generation was sporty yet elegant. These new generations look like they're trying too hard.
Yeah the grille takes some getting used to. We now have the car lowered and it makes it look way better! Something about the wider stance and lower ride high takes your eye off the grill and you notice the wide fenders more. Check out some of our newer RS3 video to see the stance
New M2 has much more content for same price and a bit more panache. RS3, however, is more “special” still. If the RS3 were priced like a M240x, and actually available, they could sell a jillion.
Here's my video comparing the RS3 to the M2 ruclips.net/video/ItiFiS6vdiY/видео.html Both cars are on the same level for sure, just offer a bit more. M240 is a great car, but you can tell it's a step below the RS3 in all out performance. RS3 is a low volume car that they just don't make many. They are allocated per dealer and don't sit on lots. So they are selling the amount the are making. M2's are on lots more readily available. I'll end up buying an M2 after my Supra
Audi RS 3 sedan 2024 azul este carro é fantástico e super esportivo,eu Edgar Henrique tenho um sonho de eu ter um carro desse. Porque para Deus nada é impossível Lucas 1 37. Obrigado e Deus abençoe nome de jesus. tchau tchau um forte abraço.
Why did they get rid of the tiptronic gear shifter. This pathetic thing in middle makes it look girly and gimmicky. Sigh.. impressive car RS3 is always a beast but these little changes they do are annoying and most usually forced upon. Let me guess in 2026 its going to be half hybrid electric b.s ERGHH. Im still probably going get one. but goddam i wish they didnt change the shifter.
Yeah the little shifter is different. Tons of cars are doing it. I like how it's out of the way. But it's also nice to shift on the shifter instead of just paddles.
yeah its a wierd thing i guess we have to adapt too. I saw on another channel someone with rs3 2022 onwards that they heard they may bring shifter back in newer models, but we will see. anyway i am thinking getting one next week. Fingers crossed haha What attracted me to the car was its actually little bit quieter then previous models. I was tossing up between genesis g70, redpsort stinger etc but figured this is more appealing, little bit more expensive but definatly worth it. That dam shifter tho lol @@BrosFOURRSpeed
@@jayjohnson-t2y RS3 will hold its value way better too. Those others cars brand new will plummet. RS3 is tons of fun! Just did an exhaust and will have those videos going live this weekend!
Yes your right. I just had a conversation with my finance consultant adviser and he advised to stay away from other vehicles like genesis stinger etc because i was contemplating one of those instead, but he said the rs3 will hold its value better and advised me to get one of these instead . which i now most likely will. Thank you for your feedback and engaging with your youtube followers x@@BrosFOURRSpeed
That car is good and all but it’s a lot less bang for your buck. Less performance -too simple-less comfort-and yet still costs more than this spec for spec.
Thats a fun car for sure. I have a review coming of one that costs about the same as this. RS3 is much faster and better handling. Also has nicer seats and the DCT makes this feel more performance focused. M340i is larger so it's a bit better for space to use for cargo. But a bit toned down in performance. Still a fun car to drive and has everything you could need. But the RS3 is a step up in performance. You just sacrifice space.
@@hg1496 it definitely does, m340i is basically just a 330i m sport with a b58, the rs3 has a wider stance in the front for better handling, not to mention the Audi rs3 has much faster lap times at Nurburgring.
Yup, I know.. In the daylight I couldn't make out what it said. However I don't pay much attention to the gimmick features cars have. Noticed in editing it said RS3

Yeah in person I couldn't see that with the sunlight and looking at my camera screen. Cool gimmick for these
Sorry if I'm late, but when you hit the unlock button, the white light dance spells out "RS3" :) @BrosFOURRSpeed
Yeah I noticed that when I was editing the video. Pretty cool! In person in the daylight it's hard to make it out lol
LED headlight does R S 3.... so cool
Yeah its pretty cool!
I love audi, but they seriously need to update their interiors. I've already bought 3 other cars since I had this same Audi interior from 7 years ago.....
It's nothing too fancy but looks nice. This does have the newer style tho. When they get too fancy it can get too much of a distraction
the fact that driver will see the “2 aircond vent” while driving maybe can be change by Audi, without taking out RS3 fun.
Yeah the air vents are a bit higher then in other cars I'm used too
It's awesome hope it will be my next.
Yeah these are some fun!
No cooled seats? Come on AUDI
It's not a super luxury car. But that would be nice
Weird that the Golf R gets the cooled seats.
@@93455Driver very i am sure they will for the facelift but i seen some spy shots of it and im not a fan of the front. I live in a cold weather climate so no cooled if okay with me
@@93455Driver Yeah that would be nice!
@@BrosFOURRSpeedidk if it's for weight or just to make the other cars look better but my Camry has cooled seats and 360 camera which is making me kinda sad that I'd have to forgo those things :(
the startup leds say (RS3) easter egg!
Yeah I noticed that when editing. Super cool!
Wow I love it
Thanks! Fun car for sure!
Yes for daily driving.
It will be lol!
Very Good
Thanks!
I really want that car when I grow up it’s so beautiful
Make it happen! Just keep working hard and you can do it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thank you so much I love your videos
@@kingdomavgeek we appreciate that!
Dude said 54321 😂
Looking through the 2in screen in the sunlight with my camera, I couldn't tell what exactly the lights were saying. Looks much different in the video then looking through the camera as I was filming
I love it. I'm manufactured in the same country. BUT: can beat my Tesla except of sound....
It'll win on a road trip too lol :) gas up in minutes!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed 95% throughout the year I don't wait for any "fueling". And for all the gas fuel expenses I saved I can buy me a medium sized car..... Where do you win now?
@@Gallardo6669 Well, you aren't taking into account the cost to charge at home, if you had to buy a level two charger...you must wait for charging if you aren't at home..
the planning for a roadtrip to stop and charge for "X" amount of time and the depreciation EV's take, it's a big hit.... but if you enjoy it, that's all that matters.
Plus the money you save on buying a gas car, since EVs cost a significant amount more, you could buy two cars.. the money saved on gas is insignificant..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I don't pay for any energy going into my car. My solar power installation is paid of and written of within my house expenses, I literally had spare power left for one ev. Right now Evs have price parity with ice cars. And after a 3hr road trip when I have to charge I need a rest room break anyways. I'm pretty sure you find all that out. Maintenance and repair is also nearly not existent...
@@Gallardo6669 lol, and how much was the solar panel installation?
glad you enjoy it...I will never own an EV ever, that's just me...
have a nice day.
Everyone shouldn't be worried about cars right now (although it might be safer than having your money in the bank in US Dollars lol). If this situation with Iran escalates to a full war look out! Good to have electric back up as well ;) Gasoline may become obsolete soon! Direct involvement from Iran, specifically, could lead to a major hike in gas prices (especially in California). Iran is the world's third-largest oil producer in OPEC, or the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which collectively pumps roughly 40% of the global crude oil supply. Think about it!
Nothing will happen, not for a long time. The 2030 Agenda is more important to the architects of the matrix then silly wars. You will see, everything will just get more tighter and regulated and controlled, shifting us into a more controlled system. however if there is enough push back we can regain our freedoms and push for a more different world then what the WEF have up there sleeve. They would only choose war if the masses begin to take back control, thats when you will get worried. Won't happen anytime soon, everyone is asleep at the..wheel... LITERALLY.
Love it
For sure! Great car!
Nice review of the RS3. I was a bit disappointed that you’re now using a head mounted camera(I make some of us dizzy)not able to watch you full video.
My normal video I keep in the mounted camera angle. ruclips.net/video/B7gCujsJ6EY/видео.html
I want the suv version of this car
Yeah the RSQ3 is out. But not in the USA unfortunately
Team Mustang ❤
Yeah that's one way to go
So no sunglasses holder. 😭
lol it’s an RS3…
Ya know.. I was like, this guy sold his Nissan gtr and has a audi rs3... I didn't get it.. I sold my Nissan gtr a couple months back.. And now I'm looking at rs3😂
lol. However I sold my GTR for my Lamborghini. We sold the S3 for the RS3.
I do love how the RS3 has a lot of characteristics that my GTR had. So it's a great car that can fill a bit of the GTR void. Lambo takes car of the rest and then some ;)
@@BrosFOURRSpeed oh gotcha.. I sold a 991 c4s for the gtr.. Which I did have a 09 gtr in 2008 (on of the first) and had some nostalgia for one again which lead me to the 13 gtr. I think I'm going 718 cayman gt4 manual (will be my 55th car ever) and new audi rs3 for a good two car solution. I'm mad we don't get the rs3 hatch
@@shahulhusman oh nice! Our friend just bought a GTS and it’s a blast! Wagon would be cool!
Yea did you ever consider the rs6 avant.. It's just near double the price of the rs3.. Not sure worth it.. Rs3 hatch would have been perfect
@@shahulhusman I’d like one at some point. But we don’t need a car that big right now. RS3 is my wife’s car. She likes a smaller car. In the future an SQ8 or RS6 would be something we’d look at if we need the space
65k. So no dealer markup?
Nope! I did have to wait 18 months for it, but MSRP!
Your very fortunate.I live in the Chicagoland area, Land of some of the nastiest dealers anywere..@@BrosFOURRSpeed
Oh dang. Call Audi Greenville SC. Get on their list and put an order in. Might take 2 years but it will be for MSRP
Thanks, probably have to look into doing something like that.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed
The LED animation says "RS3 then a checkered flag" when you unlock it
Yeah, ive already addressed that. During filming I couldn't actually see it in the day light with the camera in front of my face
I really hate the runway screen, the revs should go away not to you. The performance screen is much better and it's more used on a racetrack.
Yeah at least you can customize it how you like

The shiny black flares in the front grill make the front end look cheap. I miss the look of the 2020 S3/RS3. That generation was sporty yet elegant. These new generations look like they're trying too hard.
Yeah the grille takes some getting used to. We now have the car lowered and it makes it look way better! Something about the wider stance and lower ride high takes your eye off the grill and you notice the wide fenders more. Check out some of our newer RS3 video to see the stance

New M2 has much more content for same price and a bit more panache. RS3, however, is more “special” still. If the RS3 were priced like a M240x, and actually available, they could sell a jillion.
Here's my video comparing the RS3 to the M2 ruclips.net/video/ItiFiS6vdiY/видео.html
Both cars are on the same level for sure, just offer a bit more. M240 is a great car, but you can tell it's a step below the RS3 in all out performance. RS3 is a low volume car that they just don't make many. They are allocated per dealer and don't sit on lots. So they are selling the amount the are making. M2's are on lots more readily available. I'll end up buying an M2 after my Supra

Why did they get rid of the tiptronic gear shifter. This pathetic thing in middle makes it look girly and gimmicky. Sigh.. impressive car RS3 is always a beast but these little changes they do are annoying and most usually forced upon. Let me guess in 2026 its going to be half hybrid electric b.s ERGHH. Im still probably going get one. but goddam i wish they didnt change the shifter.
Yeah the little shifter is different. Tons of cars are doing it. I like how it's out of the way. But it's also nice to shift on the shifter instead of just paddles.
yeah its a wierd thing i guess we have to adapt too. I saw on another channel someone with rs3 2022 onwards that they heard they may bring shifter back in newer models, but we will see. anyway i am thinking getting one next week. Fingers crossed haha What attracted me to the car was its actually little bit quieter then previous models. I was tossing up between genesis g70, redpsort stinger etc but figured this is more appealing, little bit more expensive but definatly worth it. That dam shifter tho lol @@BrosFOURRSpeed
@@jayjohnson-t2y RS3 will hold its value way better too. Those others cars brand new will plummet. RS3 is tons of fun! Just did an exhaust and will have those videos going live this weekend!
Yes your right. I just had a conversation with my finance consultant adviser and he advised to stay away from other vehicles like genesis stinger etc because i was contemplating one of those instead, but he said the rs3 will hold its value better and advised me to get one of these instead . which i now most likely will. Thank you for your feedback and engaging with your youtube followers x@@BrosFOURRSpeed
Yeah, I agree. Same reason I haven’t upgraded from the 8V S3. I don’t like that gear shifter.
Would rather get the BMW M340ix.
That car is good and all but it’s a lot less bang for your buck. Less performance -too simple-less comfort-and yet still costs more than this spec for spec.
Not sure where bmw got the idea that the m340i was worth $10k+ more than a m240i.
Thats a fun car for sure. I have a review coming of one that costs about the same as this. RS3 is much faster and better handling. Also has nicer seats and the DCT makes this feel more performance focused. M340i is larger so it's a bit better for space to use for cargo. But a bit toned down in performance. Still a fun car to drive and has everything you could need. But the RS3 is a step up in performance. You just sacrifice space.
@BrosFOURRSpeed you drove both and think that thr rs3 still handles better? I'm cross shopping both
@@hg1496 it definitely does, m340i is basically just a 330i m sport with a b58, the rs3 has a wider stance in the front for better handling, not to mention the Audi rs3 has much faster lap times at Nurburgring.
Coat hanger in trunk 😂😂😂. Really
That's not new! A lot of vehicles have that, it works well from keeping items from sliding around. You don't like it?
The one in my M240 opens the trunk. My apologies if that is really a hanger of some kind.
@@keokih what hanger opens the truck? I’ve been in the M240, not sure what you mean.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I’ll see if I can get a pic tomorrow and leave it here.
@@BrosFOURRSpeedit's the little emergency glowing handle in case someone gets locked in the trunk accidentally!
can somebody get me this car
lol You need to wait about 18 moths for a new one. Talk with Audi Greenville SC and get on their list!
it says rs3 in the light
