Congrats man! Hope you enjoy every bit of the car. Looks super!
Doesn't feel right watching an Audi video on here without the engine being on a pallet somewhere 😂
Yes 😁 weird stuff
And brand new 🤷♂
Or any 'Signature Audi' Check Engine Light displays on the Dashboard 🤣
5 cyl is legendary
I'm surprised with your amazing skills you buy new cars. Congrats though and hope you enjoy it - you certainly deserve it given how hard you work!
VW across EU markets have many options just like we used to not long ago. I’ve just ordered my new car & if you pop on EU country configurators it’s a completely different story with the options list. Love the car & I’m a massive fan of the pan roof but I’d definitely have done the same for the Carbon Black looks so much better.
Really good point about the lane assist. I had a Beamer loaner recently. The lane assist was so aggressive, and as you say, dangerous!
Hi Dean, great video and enjoy your ride. I will check, but pretty positive that you can switch off the lane assist via the MMI. This permanently turns it off, until you choose to switch it back on.
Congratulations on the new car... Keep the videos coming... As always I really njoy watching the work U do... Njoy the new RS3....
I reckon you could turn off Lane Assist in an Audi - I did with my Tiguan - with VCDS. You can set it to memorise on or off - in other words when you set it OFF in the settings it stays off even when re-starting the car and if you turn it back ON it stays on. At least that way you can choose.
The best thing for climate/air control are dials. I have a mondeo mk3 with Fan/Heat/Direction dials. Simple but perfect. 👌
Strong figures! In the wet with a brand new engine. It will only come down with the nice weather and once the engine loosens up. Congrats on the new car. Enjoy!
I've never been a massive Audi fan but well deserved Dean as you work your arse of. Have a question not specifically this car but when I was modding cars over 20 years we used to think that fake exhaust tips were often laughed at but allot of new cars have tips in the bumper which aren't actually connected to the car(my civic has it with triangles lol) what's your views on this as I notice the exhaust not being the same shape as the circles in bumper. Even akropovic exhaust are just tips. Maybe I'm old school with peco big 4 exhaust lol
Nice car Dean! Well earned! I love an RS Audi, I took possession of a 23 plate Audi Q7 Black Edition a few weeks ago, the black accents really look nice, prefer it to the chrome effect plastic trims. Audi are doing some odd stuff though, The Q7 Black Edition is meant to come with Matrix Dynamic LED Headlamps and tail lights, due to "chip shortage" I only got basic LED headlamps with no halo DLR`s and standard incandescent bulb indicators... I think it spoils the look a bit, especially on at 70K car.. but had no other option. Looking forward to the RS6 engine out and turbo referb if / when you get to it!!
Enjoy your new car Dean, you've worked for it and despite the few 'annoyances' I'm sure you'll come to enjoy it. Sadly its not my cup of tea, I find the interior cockpit area overly and unnecessarily complicated when we really should be concentrating on the road, but that's progress I guess.
you are gay
In Aus the car is delivered standard with a HUD, which is great for keeping an eye on speed and warnings. Virtual cockpit has another display with gauges like the 8V too.
After your review glad I got a new BMW 240i last year instead of a Audi the whole interior is so much better and is fully loaded and the only purchase I got after was traffic camera on my heads-up display.
Great review Dean, i really appreciate that you are so honest about everything. But what a lot of money, just what you said, you may aspect a better interior finish. But it sounds great and it is a very fast and beautiful car. I’m sure I stick with my Volvo V60 polestar 😊
I had a hatchback A3 2T. It was awesome. I always wanted an RS3 in the same body style but in the US, it has never happened. Funny enough, my other option was an RS4 four door sedan, but again the US only brought the RS4 until 2008 and S4 since-plus I think Audi only makes de avant- nowadays. I settled for a 2019 RS5 coupe; awesome car, love it. I only wished the back seats were more roomy.
We are extremely lucky in Australia with these as they come pretty much with everything on them. Only options are carbon package, sunroof and carbon brakes really, most other things are standard fitment so there is no such thing as a volfsprung and you can put any package on and aren’t limited to three models.
Just seen an S3 in Lime Green. Boy, does it stand out! You're right. The black looks awesome 👌
I bought a 2023 A3 and I had to turn off the lane keeping assist, it is way too intrusive. I'm in USA and I turned it off once and it's stayed off. Congrats on the new car it is gorgeous! I wish we had the hatchback versions over here.
Morning, yip well deserved car for you buddy, however as you walk around I kept anticipating a corner of the body caved inn or a wheel at an odd angle due to collision and a pile of bits to be fitted!! Enjoy😜😜😜🚗🚗🚗
Get the ASR valve controller fitted, I fitted it to mine within 2 days, makes a big difference to the noise.
Four seconds to turn off lane assist. I coded mine to be permanently off. Add some of the RS interior styling pack, as I have. Makes a difference to the interior and parts are easy to fit and can be ordered from your dealer.
Did they actually forget to put an exhaust on it and gave you only the exhaust tips? Are the rear disks ventilated or they are still using non ventilated disks on the rs3 as well?
Well done on getting to the point of being able to afford the car, hard work and time does pay off.
Cars nice but I agree that the interior does let it down slightly, Audi always had nice interiors and not cheap plastic.
Excellent choice Mate. Looks spot on, good music set-up, a must! Buttons are great. Subscriptions are becoming too common these days! Sounds OK at low revs. Well done
I agree with you about lane departure, I’ve got it on my Q3 and find it most annoying. That and stop/start. I think Audi should give you the opportunity to turn off both permanently should you wish too.
@9:17, Astra GTE rev counter was like that, we've gone full circle!
He didn't show you the twin dial display, which looks really sick.
Stunning car well deserved u work very hard and its paid off good luck fella from south wales respect.
Beautiful 🤩 I’m well jealous 😢 work hard get rewarded well done mate . Love the carbon black
Lovely car. Complete agree carbon black trim level is the sweet spot in the range. Enjoy!
Lovely looking car Dean. Fantastic. This appears to be a wider problem I've found regarding the RS versions. The biggest competition to them is the S versions: running costs, modding etc....... TBH it's why I've got an S5b (V6t) over the RS5....... You pay a lot more for the RS looks imho.
Totally agree with the lane assist, we have a polo R and it's my biggest hate of the car. Really sketchy when you are not expecting it to force you over to the other lane. Hate it
Jeeezus min, loadsa stuff to do on that car as a future project 😮
Good to see you doing well tho. .
IMO, diamond cut alloys don't last long before they need tidying up. . Matt Black wheels do it for me like.
Gday Dean,
The fruits of your labour. Enjoy mate. Black is by far the best looking colour when clean imho. My last black car was a blown Holden HSV Maloo Ute. Loved driving it, hated the constant cleaning.
Will you be off to the tuners soon?
Cheers 👍👍🍻
Also, I think lane assist works okay for motorways especially at night in heavy rain because sometimes it's hard to make out the lanes. But other than that it's annoying
Hard work pats off, great to see pal massive well done
Great video as always - nice work. It is truly a nice car, and I'm sure it is hugely quick and capable, but I can't help feeling you were a bit underwhelmed. If I'd dropped that much cash into a motor I think I would want more fizz and spank. More gasp & tremble. More gratification. And yes, I know that all sounds a bit saucy. I would want sauce. It depends on what you need it for, and I don't doubt it will fulfil its purpose extremely well. But... 62k? I do hope it works out well for you with this car, Dean. Your channel is great, and I look forward to more excellent content 👍
What a great car review, unscripted and honest and informative.
Nice video and a super nice Car ! Wish you lot off fun with and many save miles !!!
i had my rs3 vorsprung saloon for 2 weeks and loving it 👍 last car was AMG A35 saloon and did not like the build quality so back audi as i had a S3 saloon 8v before 😊
My 8V has that feeling of its speed increasing and doesn't seem to peak but keeps getting faster, it's great. But then every time I drive a new car I get that sensation of it feeling faster than my 8V until I'm used to it.
Not an Audi/VW group fan, but as long as Dean is happy, I’m happy for him!
Isn't there a run in period on these from new?
'Black, all black like the procession of night that leads us into the valley of despair'...Johnny Nice, painter, Fast Show.
Saw one of these in white a week ago. Front end looked amazing, nice car congrats 😃
I’m a massive ex dragy geek haha, to get the best out of your car, make sure it’s really high pressure like 1023+ hPa and DA like -300 to -500 in kph and like 1-5 degrees and you’ll get the best out of your car.
The best time is first thing in the morning on a really cold crisp dry sunny morning.
You’ll be in the mid to high 8’s 100-200kph bro.
Get out tonight as it’s perfect! 💪👌👌
That carbon spec looks pukka.. the audi heads up display are epic compared to others.. Nice one Dean, well deserved dude 👏
How great would it be to have a macro button so that when you get in the car you press it to disable all the flannel and put all of the dynamics exactly how you like them.
Lovely car well done you deserve the nice things hard work always wins 👍 now get back to some saving salvage lol
What a beautiful car😎 best of luck with it👍👍
Like a squashed down RS4!, but does look so nice!!, congratulations and well done🙌🏼
Jeez Dean!! £62 grand!!!!! OMG -
I agree with you on the door cards, etc, as well, really “scratchy” plastic (way too much plastic IMHO) my Q5 is the same and I have got leather seats…I just think it’s a weird trim level! Im not a BMW fan but I think their interiors are much better!
I agree the buttons for the climate control temps etc very hard to see in the dark when I drove this generation a3. Also the lane control warning is even worse to switch off now you have to press and hold rather than just one touch
I do t fully understand why they didn’t light them up but I get the feeling it’s because they are right beneath the display for that function so in reality they aren’t to hard too find in the dark if you look at the display
Had roof rails on my 8V at the time and loved them!!!!!
I'm glad my mk3 TT you just hit the button at the end of the stalk and that turns off the land assist and it doesn't turn on again till I hit the bottom again.
I’m waiting for my carbon RS3 Sportback in black , I’ve been waiting nearly a year . Great video
Lovely car. ❤. Audis are a very special purchase. I love my A6 blk edition.
Very nice but make sure it's garaged at night. Firm favourites for the guys walking about in hoodies at 2am
Fair play for been honest about your new car…. A few surprises about the spec… the whole subscription thing is silly tho…. 62k and pay monthly for adaptive cruise. Madness
thankyou Dean,that certainly is a beautiful motor,,👍👍
Agree with you 100% about the light steering. It's my only real complaint... It seems there should be a way to have a little bit of resistance to match the driving modes. Here in the US we get the round steering wheels, there you get the flat bottom ones, and I believe the performance models get the alcantara? Anyway, I think only those of us who really appreciate a good 'driver's car' will wish the steering wasn't so light.
It does change? Steering gets heavier in performance modes.
Great video. I watch your channel all the time. I’m on the Island of Skye. Keep op the great work.
Lovely car, congrats. One thing about specs, while it is easier to build, the main reason(so I've been told) is that they no longer let you pick individual options is the WLPT emissions testing system. They would have to test pretty much every possible spec configuration if you could pick individual options. Option packs makes it far simpler to run the tests! Pretty annoying tbh!🙄
congratulations mate & good luck 👍🏻
Great video Dean. Nice car but the price is a no go for me.
My other thoughts and comments I could not possibly post here!!
Cheers, Bob
Enjoy the car, Dean. Looks amazing
Hi
I drive a Audi A6 and get get the same feeling as you with the steering I drive with steering in dynamic setting all the time .
What is the Draggy thing you use to do your speed runs?
Great video as always. I was interested to see the differences to my RSQ3. I don’t have to turn off the lane control. Or pay for the adaptive cruise (don’t especially like it though). I waited 10 months for mine and could have made a sizeable profit as I got a good discount but, despite the interior not being up to the 65k list, I love driving it. So it stays. Mine has the Sonos which sounds great compared to my previous C63 or the truly awful system in the F Tyoe.
This is already on auto trader for sale? I thought I recognised those storage containers when i was looking at these.
Congrats on the new car!
Deano.... technology wise Audi/VW are way ahead of anybody. Looks..... to die for, black roofrails.... absolutely finish it off. Price...... for Matt Black Alloys and some carbon trim (is it real carbon??)..... over the S3... a bit rich.
But I am still insanely jealous mate, keep it up!!!
Are the carbon bits and bobs actual 100% carbon or just plastic covered in 'fablon' ?
Do you still have to pay for adaptive cruise control subscription while you ordered it while configuring the car?
Bit confused Dean to be honest.
Is this car also up for sale at £61500 on auto trader with 315 miles.on the clock??
For £60+k, you’d definitely expect more for your money, especially better tactical surfaces for starters
Lovely car Dean, what’s your personal opinion on the body? I’ve seen a few in person and I get more S3 vibes. Rear arches aren’t flared out like the typical RS car.
Dean it’s your money and your choice, no one should judge your choices. They don’t have to agree with you but respect your choices.
Stoked for you purchasing a new car.
Is all this tech going to look like a 1980s arcade game in a few years?
I think you choose very well. Personally I don’t like sunroofs even the panoramic ones.
Been waiting since you said it last week 💯💯💪
round steering wheel on the vorsprung is because the wheel is heated the flat bottom isnt heated in any model
Very nice car, it has such an aggressive stance, and the performance to match, however the price is eye watering😮.
Awesome car, some cars are going to charge a subscription for heated seats I hear, cruise control on a sub, whatever next.
glad you got the hatch, much better than the sedan
I once had a hire van the steering made me feel sick felt like I was driving on ice I couldn't wait to hand it back.
Congrats stunning car , good vid , rapid
Beautiful car, congrats.
Very nice car Dean, mind you you work hard enough why not treat yourself mate. Yes it is a tad dirty lol, we all know what you'll be cleaning every Sunday 🤣🤣
Looks good 👍👍 On a personal note, I don't like what the brands are doing nowadays with the rear bumpers and the exhaust tips. Looks weird having those tips into the holes, also for a car like this it could blend in a bit better.
I said same thing. I remember exhausts were welded that shape lol
This video points out exactly why I didn’t go with Audi when buying a new car and instead went with Mercedes. Picked up my new CLA 45s (421 BHP) for 63k and honestly the attention to detail when it comes to interior is just nuts! Best decision I ever made!
I sold my A45s+ and got the RS3 - so much better to drive, more comfortable, better interior (Merc had rattles) and ten times better looking. Good luck with your back on long journeys.
I have to ask, where is this aeroplane strip you used for the tests?
Nice car mate. Never been a fan of Audi's and for 62k there's lots of interior issues that I actually agree with you about. It's a lot of money for a car like that when the interior isnt very impressive.
Handy that you've got an airfield nearby!😉
Great Video. Very happy for you however far too much money IMO. It will be interesting when you finish the Cayman GT4 what your opinion of the RS3 is. I have a lower spec Cayman and a Corolla for every day work. Maybe the Cayman and the Skoda Wagon is your best fit???? Regards less Enjoy it
Looks amazing mate, Ghost and a tracker needed 👍
Best tracker recommendations please?
They shite needed. If someone wants it they're taking it whether that involves dragging you outside to put the code in or not.
As a fellow Gen 1.5 R8 V10 owner, I'm interested to know how you feel the performance of the RS3 compares to the R8? 👍
Can I please ask have you sold any of the other cars yet? You must have a huge stock pile now. Enjoy the new rs3
i like your black new audi A3 RS3 i love the roof rails makes it special,audi cars are quality.😉
Nice car u should of gone for the a45 Mercedes interior much more quality and about the same power outlet but again beautiful car love the black pack looks sick I’m just Mercedes all day on my 4th now anyway cool video 👌🔥
