First of all I'd like to say awesome review. I feel like you chose the right place to shoot this video. It's a simple yet very detailed review. So thanks for that. I just bought my new Glaciar White RS3 and I couldn't be happier, I became obsessed with it when I saw it in the dealership. The funny thing is, that in video, it seems like a normal Audi with some sporty details. But in person, a whole different story. Looks like a very expensive and luxurious car. Who knows, maybe I'll get an R8 in one or two years. Have a good day.

I have and it is excellent. Doesn’t need carbon brakes if you’re sticking to the road.

The five cylinder is part of Audi and Quattro heritage. It’s fantastic that they have stuck with it. It is unique in sound and has more power strokes than a four cylinder and can be mounted transversely. Some bodyroll is actually good as it is transferring weight to the wheels that need it. Power on understeer in a four wheel drive car with so much power and torque might be forgiven. Get to know the car and adjust your driving style, maybe shift up a bit earlier. Thanks for the review.

@5:20. For anyone with an Audi RS3, power on understeer is a problem with alignment. The factory alignment is ultra conservative. I highly recommend getting it aligned by a pro and the car will rotate around corners properly. The difference between a good alignment on the RS3 and a bad alignment is night and day.

Says this is first rs3 to get ceramics while pointing to the rears which are still steels even with the ceramic option....and that perfectly sums up my experience with my 2016 rs3 sportback - it was a 6/10ths car, hugely characterful engine, but everything else was well 6/10ths, dampening fell apart at high speeds, seats didn’t hold you in enough in the bends and weren’t adjustable nor would go low enough, front would understeer, rear haldex diff provided no rear push off a corner, and worst of all the steel wave front rotors would fade and warp fast as Audi RS in their 6/10ths wisdom used the same discs left and right so the cooling vanes ran in opposite direction on one side

Yep, we knew that only the fronts are ceramic, we were just filming and forgot all about re-shooting the front. We'll do better next time. I think it's probably better than a 6/10ths car, but it's absolutely a road car. When the cameras were off we obviously gave it a belting and the brakes were fine. When I drove it on track earlier in 2017, it was clear that the ceramics are for the track. But would you? It's just not that kind of car.

The 5 cylinder is part of Audi’s heritage. Audi redesigned it with an all aluminum design. The same team who build the V10 for the R8/Huracan Hand build this engine. It’s half of the V10 and even has a similar sound note. Audi actually lost quite a bit of money using this drivetrain. The drivetrain cost half of the value of the car. Audi also detuned it to meet regulations. That’s why tunes are putting out such high numbers. The stock Pirelli tires are actually junk. They have foam insulation in them and are terrible. Same tires as Tesla’s use that people complain about. Michelin tires totally transform the car. A rear sway bar and springs make the car so planted too. Huge difference. Best daily driver car I’ve ever had. It’s a rocket. 0-60 is great, but too end is phenomenal. It’s usually one or the other. This car gives power at all speeds with anger.

question is, hows the fuel economy specifically when on dynamic mode? I know there are figures out there but since they are not specific enough we can easily assume are for eco mode for obvious reasons.

@TheRedlinedotcom

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for watching, it's great to have you here. We got about 12.5L/100km when we were really driving it hard, which isn't bad at all. Australian fuel economy figures are gained by putting the car on a rolling road and running it through a 13-minute test for which the car makers are prepared, so Eco mode would make very little difference. It's all about how hard you drive it. The official combined cycle figure in Australia is 8.7L/100km, so 12.5 when thrashed feels right.

You're dead right about the suspension. I was right first time around! Thanks. The RS3 isn't significantly faster (4.1s) than either the A45 (4.3s) or M2 (4.3s), though. The front end of the RS3 is softer than either of its rivals, so it understeers and isn't all that adjustable. On track, the M2 would leave both of them behind. But I'd have the RS3 over the A45 any day, the engine is too highly-strung and it's a bit PlayStation-ey, like a base GT-R. Thanks for watching and thanks for setting me straight.

Hi Henry. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. While you're certainly correct about previous versions of the RS3, this newer version has a standard 40/60 torque split.

Thanks so much for watching, make sure you subscribe for more!

@v60polestar88

The Redline This isn’t Quattro it’s Haldex. It’s not a 40/60 split. It’s 90/10 in normal mode and can send up to 50% of the power to the rear. A3/S3/RS3 use a haldex AWD system. My Polestar has the same Haldex gen 5 and in sports mode it will be more rear bias.

it's more powerful and faster in a straight line than an M2. it is priced at the same point as the M2. The A45 starts at 41k and is a hatch. I wouldn't recommend the A45 unless you get 5 or 6 k knocked off the price prior to the facelift coming out. As usual with AMG and RS each model out does the other. I expect the new A45 to outperform the RS. the old / current A45 has a better chassis and handling than the new RS so already that puts audi at a disadvantage.the audi seems to have better steering except when you try to corner it does the usual understeer but the A45 is neutral and a bit boring as a result. I'd skip the CLA. don't see the point of that car when there is an A45 that's a few k cheaper. Then comes the M2. would I have an RS3 or an M2. tough choice . i would probably pick an M2 with decent discount over a full priced rs3. actually I'd get a v8 E90 M3, save a stash of cash and then lose it on fuel but be happy

Cheeky? It’s not about being funny it’s about that 12453 I5 heritage! As for the A45 and M2, both are slower in every regard...drag race no contest RS3 smokes em both. Around the track it’s a wash if not the RS3 out ahead by a small margin.

@TheRedlinedotcom

I don't think the decision to stick with five cylinders was made on heritage alone. Marketing would certainly have played a part. Saying it's cheeky isn't being negative, I think it's cool. But there's no way that I5 heritage is the only reason it's still a five. Car companies don't work that way, particularly not the VW Group. As for the drag race, I don't think you are right. The A45 is ever-so-slightly quicker but that doesn't mean it's a better car - if you watch to the end, you'll see that I say that the Audi is car I'd have. And there's no chance the RS3 would be quicker around most tracks - the M2 would probably have both of them by a slim margin. The RS3 is soft across the front axle (by comparison), the A45 is too hard and the way it works on track is too rigid. I've driven all three of these cars, the RS3 is the most road-friendly but least track-able. Again, all small margins. Thanks for commenting, I love a good discussion! And thanks for the sub!

@JamesReedy

6 жыл бұрын

Then a good discussion we shall have ;) I didn't say heritage alone, but trust me Audi are leveraging the heritage angle quite strongly. Have you watched their piece published in August of last year? It coincides pretty sharply with availability of the RS3 for the US market, kzread.info/dash/bejne/e3eEyaiRk6nbgrg.html about 14 minutes into the film they have an entire section called, "Progress Is, Embracing The Legacy" and then lead into Hans Stuck flogging an RS3 around Limerock here in the US. The engine is the right choice, it's the longest engine they could fit transversely into the MQB, it's nearly the displacement of a small V6 without being as wide as a V6. There are a lot of reasons to use that engine design and legacy and emotion are compelling stories. That legacy is a huge part of why I bought one. I can tell you if the RS3 had been fitted an even higher strung 4 cylinder or a turbo'd VR6 (assuming it could be fit) I would not have ordered one. Regarding the drag race, not to be contrarian but you're simply flat wrong. The RS3 makes the A45 look like a dog and it easily gets the better of the M2 as well. You can just youtube RS3 Vs A45, M2 etc...it absolutely ruins both of those cars in a standing race. It also wins all variants of rolling races I've seen and trust me I've watched them all while I waited for my car to arrive. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eW2fr8l6d9SnYLA.html there's just one example. As for the track, again plenty of videos the RS3 handily does away with the A45, the M2 is a harder foe to beat and I've seen the contest go literally to a couple 1/10ths of a second either way between the two of them. Add even the most minuscule bit of moisture and it's all over for the M2, may as well not leave the paddock. Agreed, the RS is soft comparatively...that's the Audi way. They're making cars which are tremendous performers yet easy to live with day to day. I don't think I'd want to DD an A45 or an M2, the former because it's a high strung machine always on boil to get it to do its things and the M2 simply because it's more punishing and rowing the manual gearbox in traffic would get old for me (I love manuals don't get me wrong) and eliminates things like RADAR cruise control with the ability for the car to stop and take off on its own. I'm sure you cover lots of cars and while I'm not an expert on all things RS3 I've surely watched em all ;-) Most recently was interesting to watch...RS3 Vs R8 Cabriolet...considering the cost delta, not a bad showing and the RS got the better of the R8 off the line. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6afo9hpeqmdo6g.html With even just a stage one tune the situation regarding the RS3 is just laughable, this car has no right to be this fast at this price point.

So I think you're hugely underestimating marketing's involvement in the process here. If you can imagine a baker dropping a loaf of bread in front a marketing person that has a "secret ingredient" in it, it's up to marketing to conjure up all the rest. While that's a clumsy example, that's where the heritage stuff comes from. If you look at Audi's past (or any of them for that matter), they use heritage where it aligns with the marketing. The reason it's a five cylinder may very well have been tipped by marketing. But if marketing couldn't make the case the four cylinder would have ended up in the car. I'd say it was life by a thousand cuts, if that makes any sense. Think about it - the RS3, RSQ3 and TT-RS are the only cars in the whole VW Group (that I can think of) that use the five cylinder (and the RSQ3 uses the old one). By VW standards, that's a big, big deal. There's no engineering reason that the car couldn't have used a fiery four (I'm glad it didn't - I don't like the AMG's tight feeling). The fact it went five meant Audi could make a huge deal about the heritage because that's an easy sell. If it had been the four, the marketing would be totally different but no less convincing because hey, look, the TCR race car has a four-cylinder! Racing heritage! (video coming on that, by the way). You're dead right about the difference between an RS3 and R8 - it's almost indecently fast. But from a seat of the pants feel, they couldn't be more different. This is a huge challenge for car companies - when you've got a small performance difference between a small everyday sedan and a six-figures sports car, how do you convince customers? As for the A45, well, you may very well be right. I've not driven it on track but I do know many who have who reckon it would be close, obviously depending on the track. Yes, the RS3 would beat an M2 on a wet surface, but I wonder what the difference between the AMG and RS3 would be in those conditions? There are so many variables. I think, though, my point that I'd own the RS3 out of the three of them should speak volumes and goes to your point about liveability. Hell, how many customers will track their RS3? How many of them are buying it simply because it's the top of the range and that's what they want? People like you and I (and I am super-pleased to have you along!) look at these things very carefully and I have the advantage of getting a lot of access to cars. These sorts of discussions are great because it helps me make better videos by finding out what my viewers want.

The RS3 is also faster than the A45. So many test have proven it.

Listening to this review makes me want to vomit. The Audi fan boys here... ergh almost even worse. The RS3 in dynamic mode drives like a boat, rolls and rides like a cloud. No idea where the car is located. Brakes fad like a piece of shit with the rs3 too, plus they run heating issues when tuning. Did I mention everything is an optional extra? Small sun roof, crap reverse camera and the exterior pieces look cheap. In Australia, goodluck finding this over hyped piece for under 100k. A45 AMG and M2 share a design focus for the track. My money is with these two everyday of the week. Great brakes, perfected chassis and incredible engines. Not to mention the A45 runs a basic dunlop sportmax tt tyres vs the RS3 on Michelin PS4s and is still faster around a circuit.

Hi subzerostorm. Thanks heaps for watching and leaving such a constructive and well thought-through comment. It's good to see you watched the entire thing and you got to the bit where I said the brakes weren't really track appropriate and that the suspension is too soft for the track. It's attention to detail like yours that really sets your comment apart. Happy travels and don't forget to subscribe for more so you can hurl abuse at more regular intervals! I'd even pitch in to help you buy a bucket juuuust in case one of my reviews is so bad you actually do hurl. I am nothing if not even-handed and generous.

You are a moron.

RS3 responses very slow when comfort mode is in use. Too loud when sport mode in use. Chassis is too hard, at least harder than M140i, but I will buy one, there is no other better choice. After my Q7 sold, a blue RS3 will park besides my white M140 in my garage. By the way, I cannot believe the RS3 gear changing pad is plastic, low quality feeling. I will choose the automatic sports seats not the manual bucket seats. A45 is not a proper sports car, feels so cheap, like heavily modified Japanese car.

Zeyu Zhao Aluminium shifters in the A45 and the worlds most powerful 4 cyl production engine with an on point chassis. yeh definitely not a real sport car with high end finishes.... SMH

What's up pickle? Why are you so angry? If you bothered to pay attention, you'd understand it was a joke. These are statements that appear foolish but are deliberately so in order to elicit a standard human response to humour, which is either a laugh, smile or shake of the head. I don't think you've said a single thing that is even close to being right, so I reckon I'm pretty across this car.

@@TheRedlinedotcom ok pickle, if you scroll down youd see very similar comments about your lack of knowledge and some of the embarrassing statements you have made as a presenter. Heres some facts for you; The 5 cylinder is apart of audis heritage, not a novelty act. The cla45 amg is NOT quicker than the rs3 in any way shape or form. And its not even close to be honest. And the rs3 doesnt have a steel block, oh look you made me shake my head there well done. Some people are actually watching these videos to gather credible information and knowledge about a car theyre potentially looking to purchase pickle. Have some respect for yourself first, respect for the car youre providing misinformation about, and then some respect for your profession. Have a nice one

You're a giant idiot who doesn't pay any attention. I've driven more five-cylinder Audis than you've had compliments about your interpersonal skills. I've done stories on the five cylinder heritage of Audi. I've crawled over the ur Quattro marvelling at the technology of the time. I am well aware of the five cylinder heritage of Audi. Your problem is that you can't identify a joke. You're also barking up the wrong tree if you think a CLA45 wouldn't beat an RS3 around a track or point to point on the road. You are just wrong as as every other commenter here stanning the RS3 vs CLA45. You haven't got the faintest idea what you're talking about. Every single bit of info in this video will have been seen and checked by Audi and I haven't had any complaints. So jog on.

Having to result to insults and assumptions? Not very professional. Its seems to be an ongoing pattern with you. Assuming things. Dont assume the cla45 is quicker. Do you own a cla45? Why are you triggered for? Youd think you were an amateur or something 🤔?? "It kinda feels like theyre staying with the 5 to be abit funny" what.a.moron. steel block? 😂 jesus. Its just basic stuff that you really suck at. Btw, when you have to explain your embarrassing attempt at humor, you know it was an epic fail 👍. Now how about you stop replying to petty arguments on KZread, be a little professional, and actually go do some research on future cars that sadly you are going to mislead people about again. Because you damn sure failed the rs3 review. Its ok we all make mistakes

Hi Nel C, thanks for watching! Love that you've taken the time to comment. I've never had the chance to drive the FD2R (we didn't get that car in Australia in Type R guise) so if I ever get the chance, I'll put your thoughts to the test! Thanks for taking the time, keep coming back, love to hear more.
