Yes cuzzy bro smashing it 👌🏽
Bro you should work for Audi you really know them inside out 😃👌🤙
Can’t wait bro

Begs you sell me that when ur done with it
Who's been a big fan of hamzah since a couple of years?
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Bring back the S3
@@THBULLDOZER Was a shit joke mate! Just for the people who have been around for a few years will remember Hamza with the S3
@@THBULLDOZER Gone over your head with what's I've just said. Forget it 🤦♂️
@@THBULLDOZER Have a good day 👍
Who remembers that snow vlog with his s3 😂😂
Good times
who ever remembers they are a straight up g
The sound of the PFL is so on point 🔥
Pre Facelift has my vote, sounds naughty compared to the new one!!!
that's why i bought one
@@cslloverplus you couldnt afford a new one
@@BurritoSenorI’m dead
8V Facelift is on another level, Audi really did get the ideas on paper and went all out on the facelift.
My PFL with Eventuri Intake, Sec Decat Bypass and a custom Stage 1 tuning is running 450bhp. The sound of the PFL is in my opinion better but the FL does have all the modern toys. Both models are superb.
Who did your tune? cheers
@@csllover MoreBHP in Crewe 👍
@@porkster5924 hi mate stage 1 PFL also in Crewe 👍🏻
Both so nice when properly specced like these. Makes such a difference
the signature north face is back out 😂
Owned my 2015 Daytona Grey 3 months now, loving the depth of sound/bangs/pops. Month ago uprated to tte500 turbo/airtec inter/rammair intake/autotech hp pump @ 512bhp/680nm. Last week, Milltek downpipe added with, possible increase of 30-40bhp, definitely feel the increase, on rollers next week to check map (new one?) & figures. Know the fl is more precise due to block lightness but, this thing sounds insane...especially with the recent upgrades, quick enough 😁
Nice to see a full explanation with all the subtle changes.
Right I’m not going to purchase the facelift as I prefer my door unlocks the other way around💀
😂😂
i like the pre facelift more, it still has the simple but nice styling that vw and audi where good at. The face lifted a3 was audi's first step into the over styling they do these days
Thanks for the great comparison video,I am surprised how many differences they have.Really enjoyed it mate👍
Great video! So happy with my OPF RS3 especially with stage 1 map to give the exhaust more character with pops and burbles. It’s a weapon on any road and find the handling very direct and precise, never driven a PFL but from your review I’m glad I avoided buying one, although they do sound insane!! Look forward to more content from you soon : )
Pre opf facelift 17/18 plate is the sweet spot
Yep, couldn’t agree more. I have a 67 plate and it’s mega.
@@raz210688 snap
Totally agree with your comments too, especially coming from a Golf R myself. The Golf does drive better than the PFL but I wanted that Audi 5 pot sound and it doesn’t disappoint. I couldn’t afford a FL model at the time but at least I’ve got these vids to watch so keep up the good work 👍
Cracking review & summed it up perfectly, I’ve just sold my PFL Rs3 and the only thing I’m missing is the noise the rest was a bit of disappointment if I’m honest.
"Littrally an asbo machine from the factory"🤣🤣
Thanks for the video and honest evaluation ... enjoyed it! I'm considering picking up an RS3 and might just go with a new 2022, but we'll see.
The Prefaced is the BEST RS3 ever built. And the sound is so amazing on the RS3 2015-2016 models. Amazing sound.
This was such a useful video! You always hit point.
Thank you my friend for keeping the RS3 alive. People dont make enough content about these beauties
The Pre-facelift sounds so nice tho the newer one sounds held back
Love watching these comparisons
I don't own either, but this video is really good. Love the way you just reel the specs off from the top of your head... Nice work 👍
Been waiting for an honest comparison like this for ages - I own a 65 plate PFL RS3 with dynamic package etc and have had it for a few years now.... totally agree with your comments on it, yes its a total sound machine vs FL and OPF but feels very wobbly on roads and a feeling of disconnect in a weird way when driving. In a straight line it feels great but thats it... my other half's mk7 Golf GTI PP feels more alive and fun to drive if Im honest... but that sound of the RS is something else. I would think about upgrading to a FL pre OPF... but barely drive anymore!
I have a pfl rs3 now for 2 years and I agree with everything you said. I have a few handling mods like lowering springs, lightweight rims, michelin ps4s square setup, upper and lower dog bone mount and the car still feels a bit disconnected to the road and quite wobly in a way. I have a race spec wheel alignment and the car drives straight and wherever you point it but it just doesnt feel super stable. I drove a stage 1 APR tuned facelift and it is a worlds difference. I'm looking to list my pfl for sale very soon to upgrade to a 2018 pre OPF facelift. Did you end up getting a facelift?
Hamza my prag loving the video please keep it up u r my escape from corona
the thing I like about the rs3 (or at least your white one) is that they sound the way a sport car should. Red one sounds like its not feeling well tho from the outside, but from the inside it sounds amazing
Great Vid mate! You are 100% right.... the handling make the confidence in the drive for sure and that is what forms a kind of human to machine bond or fusion. Hard to explain but I have the same feelin when riding performance bikes compared to harleys (and I love my harley) !!
Sick comparison and review!
The black antenna on the roof is an indicator for the OPF. The pre OPF facelift does have a body colored one.
I know what you mean about the pre facelift steering wondering my m140i does the same at high speeds, I'm away to put m2/3or 4 lower front arms on it supposedly this helps.... but never heard anyone mention this in their reviews before I got it. Great review of the 2 cars, some interesting points I didn't know
This is literally my favourite upload. I have an RS3 8P and after 2 1/2 years of owning it, I'm tempted by an 8V. Budget is going to be key for me, but knowing the difference between the models and specs is a great help. I think il be looking at the ASBO version 🤣 Thanks bud.
Did you do it mate? Did you buy a 8v?
@@redemptionx2918 Yes mate, just cleaning it as we speak. Picked it up on Tuesday 🔥🔥
@@Bazgti250 awesome mate, how are you enjoying it? I can’t wait till I get mine 👍
I’m getting the new Audi rs3 when it comes out do you reckon it will be even more quiet than the 2020 one? and would there be a way to take the opf filter out? Love the videos aswell bro keep grinding ❤️
Love from south africa
Like the looks of the ore face lift,like the aluminum block on the new one, like the price on the PFL version too,lol!! Hama,you should do a pff filter removal and high flow cats with a Akropovic or Milltek axle back out on yojrs. Would sound so much meaner and better. You’d prob fall in love with the sound honestly.🔥🔥✌🏽
Wow, very comprehensive explanations. Thank you!
Thanks mate i never knew the differences were so major. I won’t bother with a pre facelift now....
Nice video! Thanks!
hamza...something interesting:
the staggered wheel setup (from factory) you have from pirelli / conti..255 front (8.5J rim) and 235 rear (8J rim) is quite specific to the RS models...it must have the "R02" marking on them.
if you go with another tyre manufacturer like Michelin Pilot Sport 4S...255 front and 235 rear..the haldex is totally confused and you have traction light kicking in under normal driving conditions. So what the guys do is to solve the issue is just to put the traction control light off permanently (this is not the correct way to fix it and puts a lot of strain on your haldex) - i believe the circumsfere is not correct with the non OEM R02 255/235 combo setup.
When you compare the 235/35/19 Michelin PS4s with the Pirelli / Conti 255/30/19 R02....you will actaully see the 235 from Michelin is wider / just as wide.
So what the guys do is..for better traction..better turning..a tyre that outlasts these "R02" tyres by mileage and performance by far....we go to a "square setup"...meaning...we go 235/30/19 all round with the Michelin PS4s.
Perhaps you know this already, but thought I'll just share.
Stay well & stay safe..regards from RSA.
I have a 67 plate facelift RS3, love it, awesome all round!!!
Looking forward to some more RS3 content Hamza! I have a 2020 RS3 myself so I am very interested to see how your tuning goes with the OPF, or if you remove the OPF what parts you use..... #rs3 #supercarkiller #rallypedigree
Awesome video spot on hamza👍
Loving this content 👍👍
awesome as always bro
The pre facelift had us when no other super car could be afforded🤝
Love your vids mate
Thank you mate!
The RS3 between these two is the one you want. 💪
Seems that way, right? Is there any difference between the pre-OPF and post-OPF facelift aside from the sound?
I'm waiting for the prices to drop a bit so maybe I can pick one up next year so I'm doing some research.
@@xIcarus227 yeah the post OPF sounds lame AF.
@@jimmyjt16 aight thanks for the input mate, appreciate it.
Keep up the amazing videos bro if possible could u do a pre OPF vs OPF rs3 video.
great video, your videos have improved a lot, subscribed MA BRO
Thank you bro 👌🏼
When are you doing more RS3 video? Great work and love your channel 👍👍
Thank you 👍🏼 In a few days
Thanks mate for your video! I’m gonna get the pfl RS3 hot hatch as my birthday present this year! This is sick man! I love RS3 so much
Great review bud 👍
Would love to see a drag race between these 2 models ...
Beasts mashallah
Great video.
The new RS3 is amazing, as is the A45S.
I wish it was in my price range. I only had 20 grand to play with, and went with a 2017 M140i auto, and remapped it to 411bhp/576nm, and I think it's the most fun, and possibly the fastest, £20k hatch around.
You made a good choice! The B58 is way better then the rs3 engine! Your boy is such a deadly weapon!
@@paggavanslaan4436 Thanks matey, it's now 455bhp/634nm, and it's wild :)
@@paggavanslaan4436 The B58 is a solid strong engine. Tuners heaven. But it is not way better. IMO the DAZA/DNWA is better then the B58. Especially sound-wise.
@@paggavanslaan4436 naaa would take the pfl rs3 over an m140i
Was half expecting a pre opf fl to appear half way around the video would’ve been the ultimate rs3 comparison video. Maybe on a follow up video? Why not? Right? Would give ya another reason to jump on another rs3.
Best channel on TH-cam respect ✊
Legend 👊🏼
Just curious, have you driven a pre-facelift / post-facelift S3? And if so, is there just as much differnce in those cars as there is in the RS models?
I'm in Australia and shopping for a car now, with a max budget of around $50,000. The pre-facelift S3's are going for about $35,000 AUD, while the post-facelift S3 and pre-facelift RS3 are both ballpark around the $50,000 mark.
What I'm wondering is, in your opinion:
a) Is the post-facelift S3 worth the price jump over the pre-facelift model?
b) If you had a choice betweenb a pre-facelift RS3 or a post-facelift S3 for the same price, which would you rather?
You can get an led lit interior in the preface lift, I have it.
Also buttons light up red in the pre facelift and white in the facelift 😏.
And the interior vents are different, there’s a bunch more I missed in the video, it would have been an hour long if I carried on 😂
Pre facelift is the one👌🏼 looks and sounds better and cheaper!
And iron block engine stronger for tuning💪🏼
That red is fireeee, id have the wheels black where theyre grey though 😍😎
One word: "Thunderous!"
The pre facelift one can handle more power because of the metal engine block that’s quite big if you wanna go big on mods
Tbf I prefer the 2015 model it sees so ready when u buy it unlike the opf you have to upgrade the exhuast and other bits and bobs to make it more exciting but i wouldn't mind either proper dream car ill get one day 🙏
Sick video 👍🏽
I see you’ve gone stage 2 can’t wait to see the video when will it be shown I also have OPF and thinking stage 2 just for the sound as it’s way too quiet
Honest reviewing.....👍
I mean there both audis...
Hey just wondering if both the pre and post face lift models shown share the same fuel delivery system being port and direct injected?
how does the facelift without OPF compare to with OPF, is that the only difference? In terms of tuning, do they make the same 500+ on stage 2 ?
Loving this daily videos new video everyday not like do one video and wait for week na mashallah need a proper POV drive in b7 rs4 and what’s full spec of b7 rs4
Amazing videos!
Lovely video, very educational bro! What would you say is the loudest 2.0 tfsi exhaust? (Stock)
A45 2015 for sure
Great video, would like to know more about the engine update between CZGb vs DAZA Vs DNWA, can’t find much info online
your cars much nicer, even prefer the sound too tbh its just nice
Picked my Daza RS3 up last week m8 and I have to say I'm underwhelmed by it, doesn't feel that quick and that 5 pot simply isn't loud enough. Stage 1 or 2 is a must for sure
They can be hit or miss for some when standard, will be a totally different animal once tuned 👍🏼
What’s the difference between DAZA & DNWA
WHICH engine gives you better power and durability
You didn't explain the difference between the exhaust system ....what make the Rs3 8v P.F.L sound savage then the dull sounding Rs3 F.L please explain why
“Key word is different” 😂😂😂
yours have almost the perfect spec Hamza with the blackout parts and white color, just need the 19 inch black rotors. I know they are old and used a lot but some of the most beautiful rims of all time and timeless in my opinion. The prefacelift looks almost as good in similar spec (white with black pack) as long as they have the upgraded lights as the one in the video Greetings from Norway
Can the iron block take more boost compared to the Ali block?
Awesome content on an awesome sounding 5 pot👍
Youd think that but from what ive seen from the American high hp rs3 im sure they use the aluminium blocks
thy both can take big power but the aluminian block for light weight and its newer thats all.
Hi Hamza! Did you do some break-in on your audi? I've taken a delivery of my own RS3 lately, and it's only 300 kms and I do not have a heart to push it like you. What did your advisor said in salon? In Poland they stated that they are already after break-in however in states people say that they are advised to do some break-in for like 1500km. What do you think about it?
Hi, I bought mine with 350 miles already on it, pushed it pretty much straight away. But general guide is 1000 miles if you want to be safe, I’ve never had issues with hard run in though in the past
This gonna help me decide
Since the market went mad the facelifts are still making near retail madness. Since I sold the M2c I’ve been waiting for these to drop…been a while 😂
Love the content. I’m personally looking to update to either an S3 or Golf R what one would you recommend?
Golf r more planted I believe
Golf R
S3, golfs are square and boxy
Golf r looks amazing
Sterling work mate
@tr hamza you got a road trip and can choose one car what you taking... B7 rs4 or your rs3
Im pretty sure the difference in the two is more to do with the electronics in the steering and the revised tuning and bigger turbo!
and 26 kg's less up front because of the aluminium block in the facelift compared to iron in the pfl rs3 8v
quality videos bro
Very nice ma sha allah, I sold out and bought a performance Tesla, was considering the rs7.
This may be a super odd request, but could you pretty please compare an RS3 to a GTR int he same way you are comparing these for driving style etc as I am stuck between the 2 options
Which one to buy 🤔 Difference is about 10% plus in 2nd hand pricing...
Do you get any wastegate rattle from any of the rs3’s?
I would love to see a video of you comparing your RS3 with an M2
Brilliant video
What actually made you go with a new one?
I'd probably not go for either but AWD is great for bad weather
You are not talking what car will be more reliable over time, the one with aliminium or cast iron block....??
H&R or 034 rear ARB and the handling is vastly improved in the PFL. Just as good as my old Mk7 Golf R and much better sound 😂
Seems to be the go to mod on RS3's. It's well documented on the 8P too.
@@Bazgti250 I had the 034 on my 8p so it was the first thing I bought for my PFL, went for the H&R and it’s just as good but nearly half the price.
Can someone confirm if the pre facelift 2015 model 8v comes with sports exhaust? Standard with the pops and bangs ? Are the tips black or chrome
