I finally ordered mine last week.. 2024 RS3 8Y expected delivery June 2024. Your videos have definately helped my purchase decision hahaha!! I am AUDI guy though.. owned Q3, S4 and S3.. It was going to be sooner than later that I would put a RS3 in my life; being 51 yo, it is still a very good moment in life.
@@NaturallyAspirated What are the Audi guidelines from Audi, for this motor? I don’t see it in the owners manual. My Audi dealer gave me the standard 10,000 mile service intervals which I don’t trust.
@@CCC-DID serviced on 12 months as mileage was relatively low around 7k and then again it was done recently about 9 months later when it got to roughly 15k
Never had that question before! I can't imagine you can due to the rear splitter, however a quick google did show up some 8Y towbars to buy. Would certainly make a cool tow car!
Hey nice video. Why is the coolant level at minimum? Did you notice the car losing excessive amount of coolant already or is it just caused by acceptable evaporation? I'm considering buying one this year.
Glad you liked the video! Not sure at which bit you are referring to for the coolant? Never had a warning for low coolant and never had to add any either. Would highly recommend buying the car!
Hi, thanks for answer, really appreciate 😊 I refer to 0:47 where the bonnet is open and you can clearly see coolant at min. mark. I have had many of VW engines already and each one had some kind of problem with disappearing coolant from time to time. Just wondering if rs3 is also affected 😂
@@kaki121 yes they like to consume or disappear coolant, mines did it too. water pumps seems to be the weak point for audi/vw, hopefully its never that.
I’ve just got an 2022 S3 and it’s chromed up. Which I like, why people buz about paying extra for black plastic trim? The standard A3 has black grill and colour coded mirrors. The S3 comes with a chrome grill and the traditional S3 chrome mirrors. Each to their own.

Brilliant, glad I could help! You will love the car, congratulations on your new purchase! Make sure to let us know how you find it!
Major diff between s3 & rs3
Great to hear a personal opinion on ownership of the 8Y RS3!
Glad to give an opinion! Happy to answer any questions as well.
Love the honesty and super informative! What a great do it all car!
It is a fantastic all rounder!

In the states we only get the saloon. I inquired at my local dealer on ordering a '24 and they said they have 5 spots, and it's 10K over msrp.
The market for these cars is all over the place!
Never would I ever pay over. I found a dealer doing MSRP and put a deposit down. Should be here Sept
Just got my allocation 2 months ago after exactly 1 year wait time! Sounds like it's worth 65k!
I hope you didn’t go with the Audi finance deal. End up paying £85k after 4 years and that’s with a final payment of £35k too.
@@chasedwar2 That would be crazy lol! Saved up a long time!
i just got mine 2023 audi rs3 full spec including carbon ceramik brakes
Congratulations! Hope you enjoy it !
Great video and great car!! What else did you consider when buying it?
I was wondering, at what intervals are you doing your oil changes? I did the first service at 3400miles and then every 5K subsequently.
Following the Audi guidelines!
