There's something funny going on here:
A: Average
S: Sporty
RS: Really Sporty
I think that's quite funny.
derultimo make sense.
You’re a genius.
It originally stood for RennSport starting with the RS2
We need more people like u in the world
Dylan Fisher it's actually RennSport, translated to "racing sport" so 'learn your cars'
Doug the type of dude to write the letter “C” from the bottom up.
holy shit, that was good lol
LMAO the perfect comment!!
LOL I didn't even notice. I write lower case 'e' 'f' and 's' from the bottom up.
I’m dead😂😂😂
you a bitch ctomaj
*Audi RS3 comes out*
Doug: Oh yes
*2020 Audi RS6 Avant coming to the US*
Doug: Ohhhhhh Babbbbbyyyyy
He was super happy about the RS5 Sportback for 2019 as well.
Yea, doug has a soft spot for overpowered wagons.
@@dankmemer2774 "SuperCar Killers" are those "Wagons"
Who can even afford those
A tripple
I already own this car. And I still watch this.
Once I’m done paying child support (13 more years) I want to buy one. Perfect size and power and touch of luxury
Benjamin Goulet good luck man. fuck child support
Sugar daddy?
Me too!
Late asf to the party, but do you still like it? Looking to buy one currently
Why am i watching this.? i don't even have money to gas up my Corolla.

Doug's the type of guy to beat you to the punchline
Okay daddy doug
You also forgot the RS5 and the RS7
Eh. 95 civic over any Audi 🦆
0-60 in 3.6 seconds for a $55k USD = 10/10 imo...
.
And if you tune it and add an after market exhaust, you can bring it down to 3.3 and make it sound like a baby r8. Imo, one of the best cars for the money.
Easily u can uppgrade to stage one and u have a rocker and if u ever think go to stage 2 ; a monster is born:)
50k for used hellcat 707hp 😮
I mean it uses a glorious 5 cylinder engine that sounda like a v10 at 5000 rpm idk
@@albertquintero5412 and how much for used rs3? compare a used one for the new, is simple dumb.
Need 1/2” fender extenders, but we have a billion lifted pickups chucking rocks everywhere here. Great job DOT.
Jeff X yah
Jeff X Yea but the trucks didn’t come out of the factory like that.
Yeah those trucks aren't exactly following the law either lol
Simon It does. In most states, there are laws that say the trucks can be lifted slightly or not at all. However this is not heavily enforced. Unfortunately for Audi they cannot sell a car with what is deemed to be unsafe, even though we know nobody would care and it wouldn’t be really dangerous..
Lol ever since I bought my e63 about 8 months ago, I’ve got a million very tiny rock chips on my front bumper and the worst part is my car is black so it shows (I do a lot of highway driving which is probably why)
Doug is the type of guy who sets "MMI Touch Volume" as his ringtone.
Also the type of guy to listen to "MMI Touch Volume" on EACH preset just because its there
Doug the type of guy to write a "C" starting from the bottom. 13:10
fuckin hilarious!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
8:24 Uh Oh the flat earthers won't be buying this car.
Lmao
I’m glad dose stupid people won’t get their hands on this Beauty
Doug loving the 10:37 shaft and balls
LOL
Audi 5 cylinder is a masterpiece of an engine.
It is man - THE most adorable engine of nowadays because of its sound and capacity. With slights mods easily reaches 500HP and more ... durable!
@@einbertalstein Well 2.9 is pretty good too and 4.0
that engine it is a freaking legend.
@@einbertalstein well, a new intercooler and Engine Remap will make 500hp. I thik that is Pretty Overkill
Yep, I've got an UrS4 with the 2.2 20v I5 Turbo, and it absolutely rips. They make insane power super easily.
What kind of monster write the letter "C" from the bottom?!?!??!?!
Jon Irenicus I noticed that too!
Jon Irenicus because it's easier to stay in line???????
Jon Irenicus lysdexic
Amsterdam
The coolest thing about this car is that it’s a 5 cylinder.
No the coolest thing is its half a Lambo motor and has all the technology it has.
I really like this Audi. I've always said Audi makes one of the nicest quality interior finishes of any car. Gorgeous seats! Love the front grill look too!
Doug the kinda guy to say the E63AMG is overkill, but claims the RS6 is his favorite.
... and owns an E63AMG
Stephan Heuser 😂😂lmao true
LOL True Stephan. I love it
Steve LaForce ...even though the RS6 Avant isn’t sold in North America.
I wonder what his mercedes wagon is thinking about him in the garage. Probably gonna disable brakes next time Doug goes for groceries
I like how Doug has his hands raised in every thumbnail of a review ever...
omg I never noticed what the hell hahahah
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Chris 5112003 like priest or something
We are Italian......it's what we do.
conspiracy theory, is Doug actually a priest?
The 5 pot is one of the best engines ever made! Probably the best sounding ‘smaller’ engine
8:30 nice to know that Audi thinks the Earth is round
It’s actually google
Of course it's round, it's Flat and Round xD
It’s hexagon
Earth is square u dumbasses.
It's a damn triangle
The back doors can unlock, Doug. You just have to pull the door handle twice; first pull unlocks the door, second opens it. This is a feature found in almost all Audis and VWs of the last 8 years
He treats each review as if he's never encountered another model except via wikipedia. This is normal.
Shit, I think my friend's 98 jetta had the exact same thing, this is at least 20 years old, not a 'RS3 quirk'.
My 1988 Audi 80 had this feature...
Even further back than that, I learned this in 90s Golf from my friend. Doug preaches quirks and features but dude doesn't even find the most quirky shit.
The day has finally come where Doug is reviewing an RS3!
I was waiting for this since the rs3 sedan came out for The US
Yeah
He needs to review a s3
I literally kicked my kids out of the room to watch this, been waiting so long. I follow the Hamza too ;P
Now we need RS4 RS6p and TT RS
Actually the RS3 comes with the option to remove the max speed limitation, it will then go 174mph (280km/h). Since many winter tires in Germany are limited to 150mph (240km/h) the alarm makes sense (well, at least in the only country of the world where you can actually drive the RS3 that fast on the highway...)
I have a 2019 RS3 as well as a 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder. I drive the RS3 year round and park my Porsche at Halloween for the winter. My RS3 with winter tires is a beast in the snow. I love that car. If I had to choose one car I would pick the Audi. Thanks for your great review Doug.
You would recommend rs3 or rs5
@@tkluiss6536 RS3 yes RS5 no as I didn't enjoy the transmission.
12:03 , "...In other words if you want the car to be super aggressive you can switch to BMW driver..."
Absolutely iconic hahahah
DeMuro is a lowkey master at these jabs, half the time people miss it. Rrrrespect.
*_YOU. HAVE AN INCOMING CALL._*
You have an incoming call!
Now I'm hearing William Shatner doing it.
'If you set the ACC to dynamic you can choose to be a BMW driver' I'm dying hahah
I am actually from the town where the Audi RS versions are being built and seeing the HN license plate at 0:46 kind of makes me proud :)
"If you want the car to be super aggressive, you can switch to BMW Mode"
Super normal voice "no I'm kidding"
*With out missing a beat, starts talking like before*
I dont know why that's so funny to me.
I died laughing at that too 😂
Audi: "Hey guys, we got this cool LED turn signal tha-"
US Gov: "REGULATIONS! ARE YOU INSANE THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS!!!!!"
I think if it would be an "floating" AK-47 instead, everything would be fine. I mean guns put everything dangerous save, aren't they?^^
gunter jürgens Americans and guns are pretty ridiculous so I want to like your comment, except way more people die from cars than guns, so...
I know, that's pretty sad. Just a german guy trying to be funny. Btw both quotes are lower here. The guns thing seems pretty obvious, but why the fuck are more than twice as much people are killed by car accidents in the USA. (in germany 4.3 every 100k people and in the US 10,6) I mean we are the one with the ridiculous unlimited speed thing...
Mostly because it's easy af to pass driving tests in the US, so most people barely know how to drive properly
Oh ok, I thought it's easy over here... RIP my american friends^^
That sound alone is worth the price of admission!
Exactly, so much v10-like I love it 😍😍🤩
Bought my first Audi about 6 months ago; an A5 S-line and I absolutely love it!
same! I just bought an A4 premium plus and I love it too. That digital cockpit is what sold me
My dad has the A4, I have the A3, and my mom has the Q5. Soon Dad wants to upgrade to S4. Can't wait.
Just bought an A3. It’s the best for daily city rides
Snake Eyes wow my dad has a a4 to
Snake Eyes I have the a3 s line and am thinking ab upgrading to an s3 or an s4 for the supercharger
Roasting BMW drivers, in an Audi. Doug, I love you
Doug confirms it, "RS" stands for "Really Sporty"...
RS means Rinspeed. Audi's performance arm like Mercedes AMG, or BMW's M Div. Can't believe North Americans haven't had these things made available over the years. These (and AMG's) are as common as Camry's in Australia!
aussie1swfc I think Anonymous Freak was being sarcastic
aussie1swfc Just like Mercedes A-class and BMW 1-Series, we don’t get a lot of Euro cars that many Americans would love to have.
@flybriur Yeah, I was aware of that.
Anonymous. It's unfortunate, but it comes down to how stupid consumers are in any particular country. For example, Australia is AMG's #2 foreign market, not because of sales, but profit margin. They would have to sell 5 vehicle in the US to every one sale in Australia just to MATCH profit margin. 6 to beat it. We're dumb arses here. e.g. we pay double for music from iTunes that is downloaded from the same US server!! Not 'cause we're richer, we're just stupid!
Doug's joy when accelerating - the best.
Doug to Mrs Doug:
"I really like your beautifully quilted upholstery, and your seat bolsters just are so comfortable".
Doug, the type of guy to give himself a DougScore.
Josh Bacon Ok. Passable.
Josh Bacon Whats his weekend score?
Doug type of guy to give himself a DougScore and not just that, but it's a very accurate moderate score. Puts him just below Wayne Brady on the Daily Score and just above Hilary Duff on the Weekend Score.
1000 HP Old Oldness
200 out of 100 ;)
Doug the type of guy to complain about more horsepower
Really lol. Never heard of having too much power before.
kanye west Yeah that’s like saying something has too much cheese.
Because he's smart. More hp = more danger
I’d much rather daily drive this than anything with 600 hp that he mentioned.
I had messaged you to ask if you wanted to do a video on the ttrs 2019. I looked on your stream to see if you had any ttrs to no avail
interesting case
Best two reviewers ever.
The yellow indicator on the inside of the mirror flashes faster when you turn on your turn signal when the blind spot detector senses a car in your blind spot.
So, US regulations made Audi change the design of the turn signals and ruin it but you could drive a military armored car on open roads... 😳
Well done US ! 👏🏻🇺🇸🤔
The Frog hahaha yes that is the point. I can't understand how they managed Dieselgate, but you can drive Hummer or v8 something that polutes much more.
You underestimate our love for guns and military shit, don’t you?
Unfortunately, it seems our country is about claiming freedom, not actual freedom. It’s still better at freedom than all the other countries.
'Murica fuck yeah
As long as the armored car has big enough turn signal lights
Doug the type of guy to forget about the Audi TT RS
HarvesterUT2 Seems like US does not have it.
Numero 256 we 100% have the TTRS available here. I've seen them.
You going through the incoming call sounds had me in tears, you have a new subscriber
“You Came Up” and “Laughing at you” are Big Pun songs. Either Doug or the original owner has GREAT taste in music.
🙌🏽
I also thaught so 😂
The U.S. regulation states that Doug the type of guys who reads about them
Adam Good-Looking I love you
Adam Good-Looking true that
13:09 who draws a “C” from the bottom
to the top lmao
haha nice catch
quirk alert!!!!
I love Doug cause he makes me think about stuff throughout different videos. Like, in this video, 'You spend more time bragging about the horsepower of an M5 than actually using it"
Great video 👍🏼 I love watching all your videos, especially the Audi’s.
17:12 I love how the song is "laughing at you" while the car says "MMI touch volume"
I think Doug finally found his soulmate
yes he find
No that's the e63s wagon
I just bought the 2018 RS3 got a great end of year deal. I haven't fully read the manual so your video pointed out some features I haven't discovered yet. Despite the seats not being power adjustable they are very comfortable and give a smooth ride even on some rough road.
18:30 Those are the exact same cupholders from my 2001 MK4 Golf except they're in the front
I thought the same thing lol
This car should have received a 10 in value. There is no other car on the road that can get you 0-60 in 3.5 seconds for only $55,000.
Tesla Model 3
† Nightwing † No those can’t even break 4 seconds
2009 r35
Agreed, I thought several of his numbers were low!
Ever heard of an SRT hellcat 5k less and better 0-60
17:56
Actually to unlock the doors you pull the handle once. One pull unlocks the doors and 2 opens YOUR door. Took me a while to figure that one out on Audi’s.
Thats also on my bro"s 2016 caddy ats
My 2004 Volkswagen Polo can manually lock the door by pressing down the lock but you can't pull it out again once it's locked. To unlock the door, just like you said, you pull the handle twice.
most german cars have that feature i think, not 100% sure about mercedez but bmw, yes.
My Chevy Sonic does that - There aren't any lock/unlock buttons on any of the doors! Instead there's just one big button on the center console. #showmeyourquirksandfeatures
DesiredFilm Same in BMW :-) unless you have the children safety lock in (rear seats) obviously
Proud owner of this same 2018 car. Watched all YT vids about them. Absolutely the best review from Doug. He nailed every aspect. I’m so in love with my RS3 it makes daily driving an everyday epic adventure. 👍🇨🇦
You still got the car mate?
@@Sjwatts indeed I still do! And I’d “copy / paste” the same review I gave it 2 years ago! 👍👍
@@djbone604 do you daily it?
@@jf8188 Thanks for asking. Daily driver was the original intention, however circumstances have me keeping the odometer lower than expected. (just passed the 30K mark). Summer driving mostly, still waiting for a snowy winter to really test it out. No changes in my love for the car. Lots of interest from people too. It’s a keeper for sure.
@@djbone604 is this something you would daily if you could? I’m thinking of getting one for a daily driver
Have a listen to the "rather aggressive & delightful exhaust note" 18:47
Stop complaining about manual seats. Manual seats don't need motors below them, motors that take up space. Motors not taking up space means you can sit lower in the car. Low in the car is best. Also, power seats are heavy and add unnecessary weight. Last point, how often do you really move your seat? I'm the only person that drives my car so the first 5 minutes of owning my car I used the power seats and haven't truly touched them since. It's a pointless feature imo. My E46 M3 had manual seats and I loved them.
Yup. Got an RS3 with the manual seats (there was an electric seat option) and you set the seat once the first time you ever get in it and that's it. I have to move the seat MAYBE once every month or two if I have passengers in the back.
Ridgey I totally agree! Keep the power seats!
That is true. And you just convinced me. I used to complain about that. Txs.
No one ever even seemed to complained that when you get expensive Recaro seats in the current Mustang, that you lose the cooling seats and only have heated. People will always point out the small stuff. It's just added weight if it's really not needed.
You make SUCH a good point. Power seats are just a statement in ways.
The Earth is not flat...Confirmed by Audi
Aiman Zack haha good comment should have more likes
John Baylor shut up😂😂
John you are such an idiot xD
Aiman Zack Snyder
@John Baylor that's not even a reliable source you fucking inbred
Dude, 10:00 mark is pure gold! I love you man. Your reviews are the best in the biz, in terms of content and attention to detail without turning into a full-on gear-head, which has its place, of course, but in OTHER reviews, I hope. So, I would feel patronizing if I talked about the quality of your nuanced review here; that goes without saying. BUT THE TEN-MINUTE MARK! Oh.my.goodness. I’ve never actually “laughed out loud” truly uncontrollably during a car review. Thank you for that, sir.
Doug is the type of guy who spanks his car, and not his wife.
5:42 Doug,the type of guy to have 1.5 million subs ,and still shoot his vids with a phone !
Lachezar Lazarov well I mean phone cameras aren't bad
doug the type of guy to impress a girl with the manual pump seats
Well I considered the RS3 and ended up buying a 2018 S3. I paid $46,790 for a $53,500 stickered S3 where the best deal on a RS3 was $58,900. I spent $2700 on a APR Stage 2 tune and downpipe and I now have 400hp and 396 Lbs torque, I do 0-60 in 3.70 seconds. So did I score? Maybe not, the RS3 will always be a winner.
I mean the S3 is a great platform but it misses that 5 cyl
“And you can switch it to BMW driver....nah I’m kidding”
Doug you're not kidding.
Hey Doug, Got a new RS6 Performance if you’re ever in the UK :P
Louis Berkeley congratulations man, i love audi rs6
No rs6s are coming to the us
Congrats man
TTV Videos I know, it’s sad really, a perk of Living in England I guess :)
the rs6 drops 20k the day you drive it of the forecourt
and 20" rims with 30 profile tyres on uk roads is a complete nightmare!!
unless you buy for a business you got be a mushroom just loses to much cash
and it understeers like a bitch at speed on twisty roads
I LOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN THINGS
This review is amazing! Your energy was awesome. You thoroughly explained a lot of everything. Man dude you had me cracking up laughing when you started driving the car, you kept laughing because of how awesome the car drives
Manual seats and not a fan of the front cup holders so he gives the features a 6/10 lol... all after raving about it having the best infotainment system
Bro, it should have a 3/10- MANUAL FUCKING SEATS?
He lies. You can order electric seats. Owner just haven't ordered them
I don't see why manual seats are a problem you literally set it once and forget about it
Doom Guy totally agree! Not such a big problem, and it gives some hard-core-mode spirit
Saul Goodman if you are two people who share the car, this feature is a must.
12:07 shots fired
😂
almost died right there lol
Kp _rider right
When I went to the number I was greeted with a papa johns ad
Doug shouldn't have apologized, facts are nothing to be ashamed of.
It's funny cause it's true
Wonder what Doug would say if he drove most RS3 owners cars who have around 600hp. Best daily driver I ever bought
Hey Doug! I Finally bought myself one of these, and its amazing.
Doug the type of guy to call milk, cereal sauce
Dean Winchester Humor Vault=))
I always drive with the center screen down. It' s more aerodynamic.
edmaluf aero only works outside the car I hope you were joking
Asher Friedlander you hoped right.
😂😂
Haha, I could not stop laughing on the ringtone option. The actual sounds and Doug's reaction to them is just so hilarious!
I never comment on videos, i just have to say, this guys sarcasm is freakin hilarious! Great review as well as being funny and entertaining.
This car also has massive potential for power modifications. There is already peeps running 10s with modified RS3s, I can’t wait to pick one up!
Baby WREX
Keep the STI.
jldude84 th-cam.com/video/yDy0iv_cr1A/w-d-xo.html check those guys out they are killing the game with the RS3 mods
Baby WREX Or save lots of money and do what I'm doing when I soon take delivery of my new 2018 Lapiz Blue Metallic DSG Golf R, do a APR Stage 1, 93 octane high torque ECU tune and do the TCU DSG tune. Right there your only 1,200 bucks into mods and your at 370HP and 383Lb-Ft of torque......👍👍👍
Jonathan Snyder those are ugly though.
Jonathan Snyder still golf tho
I remember an ex-gf from high school, her father had an Audi RS6 and an E55 AMG at the same time. It was bonkers getting to ride in those.
That's my neighborhood I know that car and exactly where you were that's awesome. Keep up the good stuff!
Love the RS3. This video reminded me how much my GTI shares with Audi. Similar steering wheel, same sun roof, infotainment options, some of the interior design cues. Wish it shared that inline 5 though 🤤
Doug is the type of guy to dance to a default ringtone
Doug the type of dude to call a bmw driver an aggressive driver
Dankest Media Group it's not like everyone's calling them aggressive drivers
FYI... that was a nod to a segment done on the You Tube channel Car Throttle, done by Auto Alex... btw.
Everyone calls them that, even in Germany BMW have a rather bad Reputation.
he's right tho
Dankest Media Group and quickly say "im joking" after so he wouldnt upset his BMW viewers
Baltimore MD! Now i'm gonna keep an eye out for this guy
I had a B5 A4 as well, I SO miss that car. Mine was also hibiscus red, built it with a GT2860RS turbo. Great car.
The best engine fitted to any new car currently imo. We need more 5 cylinder cars!
I wonder why Doug didn't mention the relation to the 1980s rallycar-era 5-cylinders. This car has pretty unusual (but excellent) 5 cylinder engine.
*cough* pre '98 Audi
SashaUAE2020 sounds like baby v10 wayy better than bmw’s i6
Old good days of Volvo S60 T5Sport
For a 3-serie it is okay, but a A6 or A8...
I love him coz he never tells to subscribe
Except the column on autotrader
5:42 this is actually pretty nifty, I have it in my old Golf and it helps a lot knowing if you're actually blinking while looking for traffic before turning / changing lanes.
5:50 it encourages you to check your mirrors when making a lane change.
I hate US regulations, they keep ruining car designs lol
you guys dont have to get a 1,2 litre or less for your first car in the states like the uk
because cars are expensive in the uk, and so you need to get a cheap and underpowered car
Yeah, bring back the pop-up headlights! Damn pedestrians safety regulations.
dont get me started with 1980s European car (eg MGB)
Oh boy, wait till you see 80's bumpers then!

little did anyone know back then that this car would become a holy grail of a tuning car. What tuners are doing with these five cylinders are insane
Thanks Doug! Just bought my RS3!
How are you liking it... if you still have it?
@@LivingBGLegend traded it for a new C8. The C8 is amazing! Loved the RS3 as a daily
@@Dormantee Do you still have the C8
Around 14:00 you said the car is limited to 155, I think it's worth noting with the Carbon Ceramic brake package the limiter is raised to 170 something, I believe 174.
I'm pretty sure the RS3 and TT RS can be de-restricted with a performance package to have a top speed of 174 MPH, or 280 KPH. I wonder how it handles at these speeds. Looks like doug has improved his driving portion and also the walk around with an exhaust clip, so thank you doug for listening to us
Audi has done a really good job packing tech in an older model, props to MQB for being so versatile. Really looking forward to the next gen next year now!
Audi A4 quattro in college? NICEEE
Great video, I also noticed your phone's name is "Laughing at You" lol
You...have an incoming call. 15:25
With the creepy space thriller ost in the back!
The best bit about the car lmao
MMI TOUCH VOLUME!!!
I wish we had ring tone choices in our Mazda! The preset tone that rings when a call comes in with the phone on BT is super annoying, and way louder than the audio volume!
Real McCoy
The fact that Doug had a B5 A4 makes me love my b5 even more
17:33 mmi touch volume - with Laughing at You as the song playing. Well done Doug, well done!
So glad I subscribed. Doug is hilarious.
Someone please make an edm song with the MMI Touch volume clip.... Then bass drop with "You have an incoming call"
