For me...
The looks of the 8V + technology of the 8Y!
Oooo now that’s an interesting idea
Nice! Love that look of the RS3. So much more aggressive than the previous gen. Really a beautiful car. Thanks for showing us.
It sure is a show stopper! Thanks for your continued support!!
@@emilytheaudinerd Palo alto, CA. I was able to find one at msrp however I had already put a deposit for a bmw 340ix.
Great comparison, Emily! Thank you so much for putting this video together and we are eager to update everyone on our offering for this car.
Thank you! I’m so glad I could help you guys secure your RS3! Can’t wait to see what all you guys are able to do with it!!
Had my 8V for 4 years and traded it in last month for the 8Y. I definitely understand the hate towards the heavy plastic use, but I can say that the general population love the 8Y exterior more. Previously only car people who knew what the RS3 was complimented it. I loved the sleeper look but looking back at my old car it just looks like a rebadged A3. The new design is far more aggressive and actually matches the power of the vehicle. Not to mention the handling difference.. Going around corners in this vehicle feels like Im driving a totally different drivetrain compared to the 8V. Understeer is a thing of the past. Less brake fade is also huge. The new technology (Heads up display, wireless android auto, better adaptive cruise/lane keep, bigger center display etc) makes daily commuting more enjoyable as well.
Looking forward to getting this car tuned with Unitronic. Side note, is there a link for that stealth Unitronic U sticker? I love the look of that
Thank you for the insider info and comparison! I hope that I will get some real seat time in one. Unitronic is already working diligently to get the tune out! The good news is almost all of the parts will fit!
I’m glad you liked my stickers, at this time unitronic does not make them for sale.
The new diferential is a game changer for audi
Dude - I love this channel
So glad to hear that!!!
good job!! Looks like the channel is growing!! Awesome vid as usual!
Thank you! This one was a really fun one to make!
@@emilytheaudinerd looked like it!!
Great vid as always 👍
Thank you! 😁
Getting mine in DEC-JAN. Can't wait.
Woohoo!!! Congrats!!
Such beautiful cars Im almost wanting one.
What one would you pick?
So my 2005 audi a4 had memory buttons and power seats but the rs3 just now got them, I dont understand the car but I love it
The reason the previous generation did not have the power seats was to save weight because it was competing with the TT. Now that the TT has been discontinued they can add a few more things back
8v for me
Me too!
New design its killer
I’m excited to see more on the road!
I really like how Emily is so obviously of being excited that her tone is a bit higher than usual and speaks faster as well😆
:)
@@emilytheaudinerd Hi Emily, I just got an Audi a3 today, and just wanna thank you for all your videos, they helped me a lot in making the decision in purchasing a new car!
Do you know if I can install soft close door locks for a Audi Q5 2022 model???
The last door is always hard to close on the new Audi, looks like no way for the air to escape!! So I need to install a soft close door device?
Any suggestions if some from GTA (Toronto) can do this??
I’m sorry, I don’t know of any product like this. On the prestige it comes with soft close doors in the USA.
@@emilytheaudinerd Woow. Unbelievable! Techniq trim is same prestige
Hi Emily, i drive A3 2016, nice to meet someone really passionate about Audi. Greatl video girl👍🔥🔥iv been waiting for long to see comparison like this. Sub
Thank you!!
The gray one is much cooler. But they are both beautiful.
Perfect car
They BOTH are!!!
what is the suspension setup on the 8v?
Mandy has just the H&R lowering springs!
This is Jason (Jason and kathy)... Great vid...We miss ya. Whats that color called? Grill is a bit much...otherwise I dig it
It’s Kemora Gray - same color JG ordered. We miss you guys too! And the hedgehogs!
Awwww thank you guys for the support!! We miss you guys!!
Good job.....👍👍
Thanks!
Hated this new design when it first came out, but for the love of Rs3 I fell in love with it, now I can’t choose which one I alive more between 8y and 8v , on 8v I just love the sound and gear stick
I love the classy elegant design of the 8V but both are a great option.
Hi. Please do a review for the Audi RS7, you’d do a great one!!
Hello! That is on my list! I just haven't been able to get my hands on one!
@@emilytheaudinerd oh ok, best of luck with that. Genuinely looking forward to it.
Are you guys seeing an ADM on the RS3 in your area? I tried to buy one in July. Two New England dealers had a $10K and $15K markup. I understand the rarity but I passed and bought a different Audi.
Great video as always.
Where I work at Audi Omaha, we are not charging over MSRP. However, almost every dealer around us is. With the high demand, I don’t think it will go away.
@@emilytheaudinerd is this still the case for the 2024s currently? Is it possible to place an order for one?
@erickpetersen5997 Pretty sure you can order one no problem with about an 18 month wait time lol! Just got my allocation in the US after 1 year wait exactly!
Tried scooping one uo yesterday but there was a 30k mark up
Wow! Where was that?
Does the 8Y have massage seats?
It does not
In my opinion, the 8Y RS3 is the ugliest modern car Audi make. In person they look odd, the headlights are way too big for the car and the rear wheels look lost. The whole car is top heavy and the interior is pants. Great video but I'm happy with my 8V :-)
We LOVE our 8Vs and won't be trading them either!
Subbed for more RS3 content.
More is coming!!
Cooooooollllllll
:)
As someone with an 8V , imo it’s much better looking with some EASY front end mods like a lip. The new gen just doesn’t look like a classy Audi anymore and not a fan of those headlights. Especially those new gear selectors are disgusting.only thing I like of the new gen is definitely the drift mode.
We also have 2 8Vs and I prefer the 8V. I agree with the less classy look of the new one as well, I was disappointed to see how big and plasticky it got. However, compared to its competitors it looks pretty great! And I’m glad they made another generation with the awesome DAZA 5 cylinder engine.
IMO the new one makes the Previous gen look so 2000s 🥴
I think audi did this to attract a whole new type of buyer like myself. I was never into the basic looking old RS3’s, but when I saw the new aggressive and muscly design, I sold my 700hp ZL1 and ordered a 2022 RS3. Very excited to experience and Audi for the first time 💪🏽
I totally agree! The headlights look like a women’s shoe 😂
@@emilytheaudinerd oh absolutely! Can’t fault the 5 cylinder. If you see it on it’s old it’s not bad for sure , especially I’m sure there will be cosmetic mods coming. Just that if you compare to previous gen , I know my clear winner ;)
i hate the headlights design
lots of plastic too
I'm still on the fence about the headlights
Welcome to Omaha.
Thank you! So happy to be here!
So which one is faster ? Next time do a drag race
Not a fair race as the 8V is FBO e85 and the 8Y has not been cracked yet.
looks like a Hyundai. Give me the old one.
We love our 8V too!
Ur crazy
Old one looks better still after all these years. New interior looks cheap and stupid cup holders.
I will admit I have a soft spot for the 8V. We won’t be trading our girls for the new Gen. But I hate to admit it isn’t as bad as I thought in person.
@@emilytheaudinerd I think the 8V will age much finer than the 8Y
@@AR-tj1no I have to agree
Nice looking car EXCEPT the back. Looks like a giant frowning mouth at the bottom of the back bumper. Yuck
It has taken some getting used to for sure
This is my exact car, love it so far, came from a F80 m3. RSTree8 if you wanna follow me :)
No way! How cool! I will shoot you a follow!
