I really love this All-new red 2023 Audi RS3.
Brilliant job with your videos as always Ben.
The Audi RS3 is one of my favorite sedan
Awesome car, but I really wish it was offered with a leather wrapped flat bottom wheel and a manual transmission.
Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever see another Audi in the U.S. with a clutch. They’ve given up on us
Audi just did the colors and packages right in this car. Blacked out the important things. Such a great car.
Not in the UK. They don't let us have the RS interior styling pack and you don't get a flat bottom steering wheel on the highest spec. I had to order mine without power tail gate and pan roof, just to get the carbon spoiler, skirts and mirrors - plus the flat bottom wheel. At least I could get the ceramic brakes and top speed increase to 180mph optioned. Had the car 6 months now, very impressed. Only negatives are some cheap looking interior plastics and the B&O system is terrible. Lots of cost cutting going on in this car. Mine's a sportback in tango red, much better than the sedan in my opinion.
Fresh 🌟🎉🔥
Did someone pull 1.5 g’s in braking already? Or is that just the maximum?
Good Review Ben. In comfort mode, would this be comfortable enough for a long roadtrip?
I think so
Bad ass!!
The manual shift speed is dependent on throttle input, it will upshift faster the more throttle you give it
It takes longer on the up shift because of where you are engine RPM wise, you also have to understand that this is a automated manual with one set of gears on one clutch and the other set on the other. IE: gears 1,3,5,7 on clutch A and R,2,4,6 on clutch B. When you're driving around at lower RPMs in manual shifting mode, it assumes you're more likely to call for a down shift rather than an up shift. So the trans is in the lower gear and all it has to do is switch clutches, aka fast shifts. When you are at lower RPM and call for a upshift it has to mechanically shift the trans to that gear and then switch clutches, aka long shift. It isn't until you get up in the higher RPM area where you'd be more likely to call for a up shift then the trans will move into the next numerical gear and have a quick upshift. This "long shift" is the only real downside of any "dual clutch" or "automated manual"
NO flat bottom steering wheel ?
No remote start?
I'm considering trading my Macan in for one of these or a new Macan. I'm torn, this is so sweet, but I absolutely love my Porsche.
I really wish they’d make the hatchback version available in the US.
Me too
How do you rotate the tires if they are different sizes?
I suppose you do not
Side to side.
Are ventilated seats an option? Otherwise this car is definitely on my list of cars I’ll possibly be upgrading to.
They are not
No flat bottom sport wheels in US? Or can you spec that? I know EU has them.
US does not have them unless you go with an after market steering wheel
Got the flat bottom wheel on my new RS3, I'm in the UK.
This does look like a worthy upgrade to my 21 STI… wish it was manual tho
One mile down the road in an RS3, and it would be all you wanted after the experience! Former STI owner for 8 years by the way!
What you prefer, this RS3 or the M340i? I believe that will be a good comparison. Same price roughly
it is the comparison as of now.... and id go for rs3 simply cause of the performance... 0 to 60 in 3.5?! man this even does compete with the m3 competition too... but instead of spending 75k pounds id rather spend 2/3 of the amount
The RS3 is better in almost every way. More powerful, the versatility of AWD, more sophisticated rear differential and of course, that amazing 5-cyl. The M340 is a great car but other than having a nicer interior, it loses to the RS3 in almost every way.
I'd take the rs3 but that b58 motor is a powerhouse in the bmw.
Only way to figure this out is test driving them both. They both great cars. Only thing is that the RS3 is a top of the line model while the m340 is not an M3
From the sound of it, that $1,000 add on of the RS exhaust with black tips is not worth it. Better to just get it stock, and thne buy yourself a custom exhaust
Sucks because I think the same. But you don’t get the “black out” package without it.
Love the engine, love the diff, love the versatility of AWD.
Wish it were available in stick. Tired of all-black interiors.
but green stitching has a different vibe to it tho...
No one cares about stick anymore. They are slow
@@ApimpNamedSlickBack663 nah boy you have no idea how much of a pleasure it is driving a stick.
@@ApimpNamedSlickBack663 What a ridiculous assertion. Tons of people still care about stick which is why the take rate on Porches with sticks is 50% (for example). And yes, they are slower but they are more engaging and for many people, the increased driving experience is worth the 0.3seconds in a drag race.
RS3 vs Supra (Manual) - what would you pick?
The Rs3 cuz I have dogs. My nephew has a Supra and it's fast as hell. The b58 motor is amazing. I'd get the new M2401 xdrive over the Supra or 340
Spicy
Nice reveiw if u need service on these cars it’s very expensive
What German luxury car brand isn't?
No it isn't. I've owned several Audi RS cars and servicing is very cheap. I have the RS3 on order as well.
@@luciussander8217 Are they reliable just ordered an RS3, and I guess you have a lot of experience with them!
I’d take this over any other Audi. With the IMS 850s kit your running mid 9 second quarter miles at 145 at full weight and blasting the ACx
E85 I assume
Translate into English please?
RS3s over 500 rwhp are typically on running on ethanol. That is not true of the new BMW S58 motor however
No nose camera? That's a bit disappointing.
I need one Ben, see if you can get me 50% off.
lol I wish
I called and this isn’t available :(
@@BenHardyCars if you ever get that kind of clout remember I was an early subscriber
@@Matt-ko5ib Jut ordered one yesterday here in Maine!
@@germanengineering204 Lol. I keep running into your comments on various RS3 vids. You’re in Maine? I am too. That’s crazy
Mine arrives next month. I’m getting the first new RS3 from the dealership I bought from, and my salesman is actually getting the 2nd a couple months after. If you bought from the same place, I imagine you’re #3. Considering there are only 2 Audi dealerships in the state, it’s likely it’s the same place.
Which color did you go with? Black for me
This or the new M2
is this faster than a kia stinger?
Yes
I’m faster than a Kia Stinger…..on foot.
@@gdubyadubya8961 maybe not on foot but for sure with a good pair of rollers!
They the same
Love the car but that exhaust is pathetic… no volume whatsoever
Easily fixed
