That engine in the BMW, its amazing.
The Audi quilted leather seats are the best on the market. Audi's may not necessarily be the best cars, but those leather seats are top-notch.

Wicked review Evo. Quality quality quality. I'd watch any Evo feature. Great Journalist.
Excellent vid more like this please!
Does the s3 not cut off the boost for a few seconds when left foot braking?
@ Sam King (sorry I for some reason I can't respond to your comment as per usual). Modern tech in these motors does make small turboed engines pretty drivable without out doubt but neither of these companies are lacking on the tech front, power and torque figures may be similar but a 2 litre four will probably never have the 'grunt' of an equally modern 3 litre turbo six, the driver here pointed out that that the Audi's motor struggled against a bigger capacity engine with two more cylinders and I reiterate that the Audi came close with only 2/3 the capacity I think is very good. By the way the state off tune of the Audi is not what I'd call highly strung, the AMG 2 litre four is getting there though..
JETHRO!! Finally!
Brilliant review. Jethro is fantastic.
I'm actually surprised the Audi got that close despite the power gap, and it surely looked much more fun than Audi usually are
Jethro you LENEND!! Great review.
track fun > track time. Great review though. Jethro knows his stuff.
every linked video at the end goes to the same URL.. all to the same video
Love the S3, took a video of mine against an Impreza wrx on my channel!
Jethro, nice review. Potentially looking at shifting my beloved 2007 manual S5 for one of these. I've test drove both cars in 5 door and both automatic. Both cars felt equally as fast if not faster than my S5! The Audi has a more upright seating position and it felt posh inside with the pop up 'ipad' in the dashboard and the usual Audi trendy interior. The transmission was incredible as well along with the 'farting' changing gear noise (sounds better in real life). I feel the S3 will be more useful and practical for me in Scotland with the weather. However, there is no getting away from it... the BMW is by far the funner car for the back roads! You should of seen the girlfriends face on the test drive in that! haha! Incredible performance and felt faster than the S3 and sounded insanely good! Fantastic ergonomics in the cabin and I seriously feel BMW has won me over this time round. The BMW certainly won my heart but I reckon the S3 may be the wise, best, boring decision for me...?However, my 2007 S5 is the better looking car than both of these and has the V8 drama for the B road blasts up in the Scottish mountains. It's seriously a 50/50 of which one i will choose. Automatic has won me over now as well as the manual would just slow even the best drivers in the world down! too much going on! Plus the auto's are more economic in these 2 amazing cars which is an excuse to convince your mates that its worthy....? Thanks.
That BMW is a fucking eyesore
This comparison reminds me of last weeks Top Gear episode.
LOve the "BM"s exhaust note.
good job!
I have to take a BM.. I hope it's this fun

Is this helpful to those who wish to purchase these cars, what I mean is are any of us ever going to take these cars anywhere near their limits? So I wonder what's the relevance of these video's
this bmw was in the top gear show last week
A lot of comments suggesting a test between the RS3 and the M135i. Chris harris tested the old RS3 against an M135i which makes for a useful comparison. The RS3 appears to be significantly beaten in that video. A good test for the future would be the new RS3 against an LSD equipped M135i. The BMW might not be the best looker but it has really broken the mould by producing a dynamically sound and powerful RWD hot hatch.
Fuck the M135i,I know its RWD and has a beautiful inline 6 engine.But you can't resist the S3 excellent engineering,wonderful styling and now that it has a proper sense of humour with its Lift of oversteer.Well done Audi👏 do the same with the RS3 and it'll wipe blood of the Beamers eyes haha.
Just love the way that M135i sounds. Looking forward to the M235i with an LSD!
Why does Europe have a smarter customer base? Where there is demand, there will be supply. So the fact that there is no supply of M135i in USA means not enough American demand. Which is a pity, because I fancy this little sweetheart of a hatchback more than the M235i coupe. The M235i may be more stylish but it's hardly cooler.

David MuscleGuy It's not so much the tiny roads as the smaller engines and better handling. The average engine in a truck or muscle car has so far been around 5L or bigger. The new once have smaller engines since they are going to be soled globally. The big engines makes them very expensive in Europe since taxes also depends on engine size. US cars that are much cheaper than their European counter parts in US cost often the same or very close here in Europe. No most bang for your buck here, no sir.

Drake Switzer That's true...Still noone would buy a Corvette for that money since only pimps drive them and they look way to immature.
Really surpriced with the driving charasteristics of the S3. Great to see an audi that isn't completely an understeering pig when driving fast. Still, I'd take the M135i over the audi any day. It has character.
7 years on and I've just chopped my s3 in for an m135i, here goes...
This S3 is brand new while the M135i is old and will be replaced next year. I think the engine placement in Audi will always hurt them. Every time you open the hood of any Audi car (not R8) you will see almost the entire engine in front of the front axle. And the AWD just magnifies the problem, what he calls the push in the corners. Understeer has always been a legendary part of all Audi cars thanks to the faulty engine placement. It's like a reversed 911. I have started to look at cars differently. Any front engine car with the front wheels close to the windshield means big overhang and a lot of the engine in the wrong place, just like Audi. Audi makes great cars but for transport in comfort and luxury, not driving dynamics.

@@lewisratford2908 Thanks mate :-) Yeah, the S3 is pretty quick. It does 3.67 from 0-100 measured with GPS. The BMW feels comparably powerful although being not as quick due to RWD and manual gearbox. But I don't really care. The experience of driving this RWD/manual car combined with the noise it makes with the old N55 engine and an almost straight pipe exhaust system is absolutely brilliant. Have never craved for more power at all. I could do a tune but I don't really feel like it. So maybe at some point you could consider the regular M2 if that fits your budget a little better. In my opinion it's absolutely brilliant and it even works as an everyday car. I have used it even in winter on snow and ice before I bought the S3. Works tip top (not as good as the Audi, admittedly :-)

Both are great cars no question there, and both are in 40k range and that means I can only have one, or should I say most of us, and my next car will be S3 just because i can live with it no matter what nature throws at me, (unless it's a tsunami ) exterior and interior on S3 looks a lot better then bmw, yes it's only 2.0t but with simple ecu tune this car can get 0-60 in 3.7 second and 1/4 in 12.1 .

But this BMW has a twin turbo 3.0 straight-6, meaning it can be chiptuned to produce ridiculous power and TORQUE.

So already the comparison is not fair. Second, if your going to review two different cars don't go on about the BMW for more then half the video and then crap on the other car for a minute and run the lap. I knew the BMW was going to win from the start cause the presenter would shut up about the M135i.
