Here in America, #Audi RS models have remained few and far between and the ones that did show up often times carried a 6-figure price tag. Thankfully, Audi of America has been listening to requests and when the little #AudiRS3 came to our shores, its melodious 2.5L turbo 5-cylinder engine quickly won over the hearts of enthusiasts around the country. All that turbo goodness is also wrapped around the 4-door body of the A3 sedan so with the new #RS3 has Audi created the perfect little sedan that can embarrass some supercars in a drag race?

    Here's an interesting fact about the 7 speed S-Tronic in the RS3. I spoke to the guy who writes all the tunes at APR and he said the programming in this car is virtually identical to the R8 V10 Plus.

    @@peterhammer6915 Thanks for the reply, looking at getting something I like, really like the Audi interiors and some of their exterior designs too, don't find them to edgy/silly looking as far as crazy wings & what not like WRX etc look kind of boring & classy to me but really like leather & even the round port AC vents in the 3's vs the more standard style in the 5's would like something a bit exciting & the 400 hp sounds it, right not have a Prius for gas milage driving Uber etc but going to give up Uber & then can waste a bit more on fuel just getting back & forth to have a vehicle i'm excited about instead of the one that makes the most sense, looking at the Audis, Cadillac CTS not sure what else, the Golf GTI gets great reviews but not sure if I could get excited about the car, on looks the exterior doesn't do it for me, want something with some power, amazing leather interior needs to seat 4. I've experienced FWD push and have heard mixed things about these AWD audis & them inproving weight balance over what they were etc. Any cars come to mind I should look at? The Camaro is out as the back seat leg room is compeletly non existant with a 6' Driver. Really not going to push any extereme driving but would like a vehicle capable if I were to. Mostly interested in interior luxury & a reasonable price would be a plus.

Most of the time it came down to who started first to accelerate - however I was always able to keep up. But I still would choose the M3/4 next time. Aside from the price tag and the engine there’s not a lot premium about this car...

    I love this car. I have it in white. I think the best color is blue though. It's kind of a sleeper car, but some people do know what it is and stare. You'll hit high speed so quickly, and you wouldn't even know. Also, it is a pricey car. I wish it was cheaper. The M2 Competition currently has the highest HP and torque for class -- it's slower in a straight line but faster on track and has better handling. Other notes, that display should have went down when Soyfan press the button -- maybe there is a defect with this particular car. Also, I get 25 mpg on average commuting between home and work. When I'm on comfort mode, I get nearly 32 mpg, but I rarely use comfort mode.

    John Holst umm, you can think about it normally most financial decisions. compare it to the alternatives and decide accordingly. the rs3 is also not a car i’d consider overpriced. a fully loaded golf r is 46k. an rs3 is 56k. it has a nicer interior, better seats, what comes optional in the r is standard in the rs3, its almost a full second quicker to 60, top speed is 21 mph faster, can run 11s stock, trapping near 115mph, (over a second faster than an r). it has better breaks, a better tuned gearbox, and better tuned suspension. seems to me like its worth the extra money. it also stacks up with its competition decently well in my estimation, particularly for being a sedan when a lot of its comp are coupes.

    I bought an S6, 11 months old, 2 months ago, never told the wife, she went frigging mad because of the size 'too big' so now I'm going for a new RS3...totally different in many ways including rear leg room but it's about 20 inches longer than the RS3, so what do you expect with the rear leg room on the RS3 ??? I'm confused with your comments about this. It is what it is for the size...rear leg room seems okay to me ? The S6 has a much 'plusher' interior and a V8 twin turbo which I absolutely love every time I push the start button. I will miss it, but I have to keep my wife happy💖 what it's all about in the end...respect from the UK...

The key when applying, wash the car with dishwasher soap to remove all the dirt, old wax or any previous coating. What he did is wrong, sealing w all the road harmful chemicals. Wash w dishwasher (Dawn), maybe another wash w regular car soap, I do a quick wax, followed by the Quick detailer ceramic coating.

    My wife owns the 2018 edition of this car, this color. Definitely has a fair amount of orange in it. It has the adaptive dampers. Makes it a little nicer on trips. I own a 2016 Golf R, manual. They are not the same animals. Even when you have the R in Race and aids turned off. The R is more fun at lower speeds. I put it this way. If you get stopped having fun in the R, you're getting a ticket (which my wife has). If you get stopped in the RS3 having fun, there is a good chance they are going to take you to jail, and impound the car. It is that potent. I think the critiqe of the transmission was putting it politely. I'm hoping for a flash from someone soon. Also, I am 6'2". I prefer however to sit like a professional driver, which I'm definitely not, so the legroom behind the driver seat with me driving is more like the legroom in the passenger side shown in the video. The view out the front glass however is problematic. You don't want to be first in line at a red light. My 5'8" wife has no issues. Our kids are adults, so the "hot hatch" size is not an issue. If you make a trip, fold the back seats down, and throw a nice blanket down. If you live in the Northeast as we do, buy the extra warranty on the wheel, as we did. We have had it approximately six months and have had one wheel repaired, and it has a bubble in the sidewall of a front tire as I type this. We have decided that when it is time to Get rid of the Golf R, I will take the RS3 and she wants the RS 5. 60 hour work weeks here I come!!!!

    The ability to NOT have a power seat in an S3 or RS3 is a plus to me. Our new A5 SB has a decently fast power seat with memory which makes it tolerable when I switch from my wife's seat position but I'd much prefer to quickly move a manual seat all the way back (she keeps the seat all the way forward) than wait on the power seat to adjust to its saved position. Guess I'm rare in that I would always prefer a manual seat.
