I LOVE the Audi RS3! I've been a 5 cylinder engine fan since the late 80s early 90s Audi Quattro days. 2.2 liter 20 valve 5 cylinder, amazing power and even better sound. I was so excited when Audi realesed it again with the TTRS and RS3. This thing is a true pocket rocket with Forged internals and dual fuel system from the factory! This thing has 10 fuel injectors and is a easy E85 setup.

@Len_M.

The Audi TTRS is one of my favourite Cars and if I could afford to get one from the Company that you can buy a totally Modified Car from them I definitely would (I'm pretty sure The Smoking Tire featured one once). I can't remember the name of the Company off-hand, but I know it's in the southern US I believe (perhaps Alabama or something like that). I might have to look at one of these RS3’s though. I have been waiting for Subaru to come out with a worthy all-new WRX STi, but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen, so perhaps an Audi RS3 modded to about 700whp might be a smarter/more reliable purchase. But my Neighbour finally said I could buy his 2001 Chevrolet Shortbox Regular Cab with a 6.0L LQ9, LS3 Manifold, Brian Tolley Stage 3 Cam, HD Springs + Guides, 3600 Yank Converter, James Hetfield Built 4L80E, 3.73 Detroit Trutrack Posi, Caltrac Traction Bars, Full Stainless Works Exhaust with Long Tube Headers full 3-inch Piping, LS3 Manifold, Full Custom Driveshaft and HD Joints. It's just asking for a big Turbo so it’ll be my first project getting that put in it and then having a Cage built and Tubbed for some fat Mickey Tompson Drag Slicks and a narrow Axle before getting a new Car. It has Volk te37’s on it right now.

I bought a 2016 rs3 just a week ago. Its heaven. the Engine is pure and raw 5 cylinder fun. Incredible.

Take that record with a huge grain of salt. The laptime Audi is quoting was set by their own professional driver, while its competitors (notably the A45S) largely had their laptimes on that track set by press drivers, which just aren't on the same level. As a result if you check fastestlaps you'll notice that the A45S is quicker on most tracks where laptimes were set. Nurburgring is a very technical track and the driver matters _a lot_ there. What Audi is saying about that 'record' is incredibly misleading and more people should be aware.

The major downside is the low profile tires. Driving this even under 10k miles per year, the flat tires get super exhausting.

I love this car and everything about it, but I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the black trim that surrounds the front grill. It gives the headlights a bit of a weird look with the way it sits around them. If they kept it hexagonal and left out the little piece that extends under the headlights (or maybe thinned it out a bit?), I think it might look a little better. Still, beautiful car inside and out, and the performance is seriously impressive, I'm happy to hear understeer isn't really a noteworthy problem on this particular Audi.

@@tamiwu0346 I just so happened to buy the last year (2018) Focus ST just before Ford announced their decision to stop making cars in the US

Does this car have larger front tire widths than the rear tire widths? I always found that to be an interesting quirk of this front drive biased car.

It does, and a different type of AWD system now that is more rear biased than haldex

i like that yellow color and i like the top of the car darkens the cab well.

The R50 (?) mini coopers have that same sunroof cover where u can open the roof while keeping the shade in place

THAT IS SO COOL

Here after a long time! Hmmm... No more "Doug is the type of guy " jokes!!

I just saw this car this morning on the way to work!

Doug, we love you Doug

Dougs the type of guy who only listens to top 40 hits on the radio.

Hey doug, always love your videos. Would love em even more if you could start takin shots from farther away, hard to imagine how the car looks in its surroundings when up so close.

I have a 2018 Rs3 Hatch (in Australia). Best car I’ve ever had.

There's no such thing as a drift button Audi RS3: here's a drift button

Nobody does reviews like Doug 👍 love the channel every time a friend of mine ask me about a vehicle I say: " before you buy it check the Doug channel 😊 😀

I wonder how bad Doug wanted to say the carpet matches the drapes when talking about the interior green accents. I bet bad...lol

i’m not a huge fan of green but i really like that light/almost pastel green

14:40 My 2021 Ford Fiesta has the same feature with a separate sunshade that can be moved independently from the sunroof.

Considering Audi started it...

Dream car @_@, hopefully i can get one in the future before they discontinue

Been waiting for this review. I have an order in for a Tesla Model 3 Long Range but this baby might be worth canceling for

I really wish Audi brought the hatchback version of this to the USA. I'd buy one immediately if they did, a sedan just doesn't work with my lifestyle

I completely agree, not to mention that the hatchback looks really good.

@@Kvlt It is a small race car. The hatch would make it a bit more practical but still. Little pocket rocket to go grocery shopping ? Keep it for the weekends you take it to the race track. :D
