2023 Audi RS3 Review // Trick And Treat

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The 2023 Audi RS3 ($58,900 starting in the US) is now forbidden fruit for us here in Canada, since it is no longer sold within our borders. However an American RS3 can still come and visit, and share with us the melodic roar of the only new 5-cylinder engine on the market. A 5-cylinder turbo that makes 401 horsepower, 369 lb ft of torque, and has a blistering claimed 0-60 time of just 3.6 seconds.
But does this new and improved RS3 still suffer from the same understeer that plagued earlier generations? Or does the new torque-splitting rear differential provide just what it needs to put the power down more confidently and have a little slide-happy fun in a corner? Thomas and James are excited to see what the 2023 Audi RS3 is all about. We hope you enjoy the episode. Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!
A very special thank you to Unitronic for making the journey in their RS3 to the land of maple syrup and hockey. See their stuff here! www.getunitronic.com/

    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

    I think it almost certainly will be unfortunately. I'm actually picking up mine this weekend, and my tentative plan is to keep it forever. I work remotely so only put 5k miles a year on a car, if that. So even if I exclusively drove the RS3, it would last 20 years probably, if obsessively taken care of. I really don't want to go electric.

For the past 15 years I've driven nothing but Ford F150 XLTs which isn't necessarily the entry level Ford truck but it's FAR from the top of the line. 15 years ago you could get a brand new XLT for around 30k. Now it's over 60k 🤨

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

    I'm 6'4 220ish with a 2016 S4 and fit great in the front but terribly in the back. If the front seat headroom and steering wheel position is similar in the 3 models, taller people should be fine. I often drive with my seat not fully back, so someone with longer legs should still fit pretty good.
