I remember reading somewhere that a 5 cylinder engine naturally produces a strong overtone on a major 10th interval above the bass tone, which essentially makes it sound like a revving major chord - so yes, there are actually multiple notes happening at once lol

5 cylinders are some of my favorite engines. Had on in my 2005 Volvo s60r... was a super fun car with just a better tone than a 4 or 6.

Born and raised an Audi fanatic and these guys take the reviews to another level! Love all their content! Would love if they did the new S6 to my 4.0 S6 even though it’s tuned I could see James having the time of his life !

I've watched this video no less than 10 times and I fall in love with the RS3 more and more with each view. Thank you gents for the review. I'm saving my pennies for one and can't wait till the day I order. The M340i is a bit too long and the M240i only has 2 doors... this is the sweet spot. Keep up the good work, fellas. Love the channel.

That cheeky grin from Thomas when testing the rear seats is hilarious 😂

"Masterclass" is the Perfect word for that interior. Outstanding layout. Love the minimalist but very functional interior. I LOVE it!

Gorgeous car, great scenery, wonderful production (the audio montage of that ridiculously good-sounding engine was SO COOL), and laugh out loud humor. I've been obsessed with this channel for a while, and they just keep killing it.

This is by far the greatest intro I've ever watched when reviewing any car. Thanks for the laughs. And the commentating is second to none, beating only by the legend himself, Sir David Attenborough.

Another beautiful video! hats off to you James and Thomas, well done, yet again! I've always been in love with the 5 cylinder. Ever since i did a clutch replacement on the 1997 Audi URS6 with the 2.2L 20V 5 cylinder. It was Love at first waste-gate opening. When i heard Audi started putting them back into TTRS's and RS3's it filled my heart with joy. Mounted longitudinal or transversal that 5 cyl rips regardless. Its a beautiful car if you want to feel premium, spank exotic cars and pick up groceries once you're done taking people to "gapplebees". When it comes to 'tones'James is spot on. It does have multiple tones, at low RPM it remind me of my first 24V VR6, just a little... haha

James' theory about shifters in German cars actually made me lol. Gosh I love the humor on this channel

I gave you guys a follow just for the intro 🤣🤣🤣 IMO, as far as every day practicality & weekend hooliganism goes, nothing beats the RS3!!
