He probably returns all of these cars with broken exhaust valves from poking them with a 3 foot stick 😅
OLewis yeah! this gets me every time! i fuckin hate that guy for it!!!!😂😂😂
@@Pajaa37 Well it wouldn't be a thing if idiot manufacturers didn't start this weird fake exhaust trend... I bet they're the kinds of guys that put a sock down their pants to look more impressive.
Jimrod certainly 👌👌👌😂😂😂😂😂
Exhaust valves are in the engine.
@@mrnicktoyou For sure not in engine, hah. They are almost at the end of exhaust but not that close to poke them with a stick or log.
Should be Leon Cupra R vs S3
Correct
The only people that say the Leon is better value for money is people that have never driven an RS3.
@walentaz ye for 9k you can get the car up to 500hp with 6k spare
Rs3 will sell for more money and wayyyyy easier !
But with the S3 the audi won't win this one...
The Seat Leon Cupra R is amazingly stunning and aggressive in this color.
Colour*
it looks even better as a 3 door
Cupra Leon R* no Seat
@@octavian791 it is a SEAT idiot, Hence the big fuck off S badge, the later models of cupra broke off from the seat brand
@@shoesprite6789 this is a seat leon cupra r estate my dad has the 290 cupra not estate, do personally love it but my mate has an rs3 an i love that as well 🤣🤦♂️
The Sunroof on the Leon isn’t standard in fact it’s the only option you could spec on that car other that the ABT tune.
Plastic:Exists
Mat:I'm going to end this mans whole career
It’s not a man
By scratching it...
I hate normie memes.
Never seen anyone post this meme before. Is it a new thing?
@@dadamj its very old
I actually really love the seat, especially in estate form
Well it might be only 9.000 cheaper in the UK. But over here in The Netherlands the RS3 is over 30.000 more expensive than the Cupra R! (85.000 vs 55.000)
That changes things quite a bit..
fucking taxes
Asia Grill same thing in Finland 😞
@Asia Grill You forgot that the Cupra used in the test is tuned by ABT, which makes it probably way more expensive
@@theusersurfer The tuning literally costs 500. that's all :)
@@Fvandenberg Awesome, didnt know it would be that cheap to tune a car.
I've been driving Cupra ST for about 3 years, I love its reliability, fuel consumption and the thrill with all the most sporty settings on. The TSI engine has enormous potential....my 280ps version had 306ps and 380nm on the dyno STOCK! Love it...RS3 has the sound though...
I’ve just staged 2 mine it produced 372bhp and 540nm it’s a real beast I asked the torque to be capped at 520nm instead and I eat a lot of high end cars for breakfast lunch and dinner 😂
You are kidding with fuel consumption :D it is never lower than 10 L/100 km when you drive like an old man. 15+ Liters/100 km when you like to drive more sporty
Leon Cupra R + 9000£ in modifications = circuit monster.
No i5. Thats fully worth 9k
@@dins.garage while i do agree on the engine, you can still get a lot from the Cupra engine and, most importanty, you get less weight over the front axle so presumably, better handling/less understeer. Otherwise, the RS looks a lot better and sounds better than the Cupra. Probably the finishing quality is also a lot better, but that's why is 9k more expensive.
Billy Ryan, no that would be called understeer
Considering you get the 2.5 5cyl. Yeah it really is worth 9k more
Biggie Smells exactly. Pointless comparaison. still love Mat :) test should have been: AUDI S3 or audi RS3, is it 10k more worth?
Nicolas OTIN Idk. Would rather compare the A45.
@@NicoCarsAndCookies s3 to rs3 is pointless.
HowDoWeKnow nah i get his point. Matt did a S5 vs RS5 but i think the difference is abit to drastic.
It's not 9k!
Cupra cost 45.000
Rs3 cost 65.000
15:47 I don't care whats's the badge say so I think Cupra is the car to buy for it's hugh value gap from the RS3.
What would be the price difference if the RS was specced like the Cupra, i.e. with panoramic sunroof and adaptive dampers? An extra 2-3k in difference?
Only adaptive dumpers are about £3000 + panoramic sunroof...it going too expensive 🤮
If I'm spending Matt's money, I'd take the Audi. If I'm spending my money, I'd buy the Cupra and a 9000$ used car. :-)
Yeah exactly, you could get a nice second hand audi a4 for 9 grand and have a more fun car and a nice comfy ride too
Or you could tune the cupra to match the audi in performance
@@blackfire_x2964
Considering a £500 tuning adds 50 bhp, giving it a 0-60 of 4.4 that's fucking insane how close it is to the Audi's performance.
You r a genius
Robert Fernandes not the point 😂
nice
Your Sister!😉💦
Sir, you are a genius
Its a car review ffs
samFTP how did you found it?
That's exactly what your sister said to me 😂
That has to be the most poorly specced rs3 I’ve ever seen 😐 a properly specced one looks much meaner
Who would want a mean looking car?! Timid people?
Mattyb you would be paying even more if you did that... so SEAT wins hands down..
On my opinion also colour matters...white makes it even more simple...now put it in Daytona Grey (like RS6 earlier on) and you'll see a monster!
@@timbersflooringserviceswar4989 seat wins because you cant afford the audi....
@@timbersflooringserviceswar4989 hardly..2.5 litre vs 2.0
Far superior build quality on the audi
Far superior interior quality on the audi

Basically same shoe...
Not worth the extra money....
Hurt me how he clapped the Bonet of the cupra R, Tho I really like the seat bc They don’t put soft limiter
No joke but I actually thought that‘s a normal A3 with s-line!
Yeah that colour combination is too tame for a RS3
Supercars Hunter ur a asshole thats why
In Latvia curpa is about 40k and rs3 58k. So I have bought cupra. Pretty much difference
wow! Bought my pre face lift cupra kombi in 2016 for the equivalent of 25k gbp. In Poland.

I think the Leon is the most beautiful estate out there. That's why I bought one and I love it, although I have a 1.4 TSI, but it's still fun to drive, have good looks, very good mileage and large boot.
Sadly in Liverpool the RS3 is a "Minor League" young drug dealer car with them being available on a 2/3 year PCP. Spoils the effect somewhat.
Gary Simpson not just in Liverpool, basically most uk cities and big towns. Either way, probably the best fast hatchback there is on the market at the moment
Unfortunately pcp means most retards have these sorts of cars in all cities...
marc foskett what you drive
Same everywhere
Lol it’s the same everywhere
If it was the s3, I'd take the seat every time. But with the 5 cylinder in it, I don't think that there's even a competition...
KungFührer
I've got an S3...and I've been in a few Cupras...the interior on the S3 is MUCH nicer..they (S3 & RS3) do need the Supersports seats though. I think if you spend quite a lot of time in your car the Audi makes you feel more content. Driving wise the Audi's also need the optional adjustable dampers..Audi's, love 'em...but hate the options list!😁
@@douglasb.5601 agreed! A6 owner here. With a 2.4 V6. By no means sporty with just 180 hp. But so lovely and comfortable to drive. Audi does interiors like few other brands can.
@@douglasb.5601 the audi interior on this RS3 looks like dogshite with that crappy little screen taken from 2010
What´s so special about having a 5 cylinder?
Loliipopis
I'd agree...except it works really well and the MMI is a different league to ny previous car a Porsche Macan S. The fact that it's not a touch screen and functions can be moved or combined with the drivers display makes it amazing to use on the move...plus no more fingerprints all over your screen!
The TT gets by with the same setup...without the centre screen..and is still hailed for its ease of use.
I’d have the Cupra R, not worried about a badge 👍👌🙌
@Karate BL 🤣🤣🤣
VW own and manufacture both these cars, so ultimately; VW are the winners overall.
yes VW owns both of them, but manufacture?
you must be mental.
@@jaxzor The Seat Terraco is manufactured in the Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant, which the main VW plant.
Volkswagen has 61 factories where they manufacture VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Porsche, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini and Bentley.
They share a lot of the same parts and are often manufactured the exact same place.
@@incautare8387 No. Same people, same factories.
@@incautare8387 Well Bentley, Bugatti Lamborghini and Porsche has a more autonomy than Skoda, Audi and Seat, but even they have many parts manufactured by VW.
Parts for the Cayenne and Panamera are assembled in VW's Bratislava factory along with the Audi Q7, Q8, VW Tuareg, Skoda Citygo and Seat Mii.
The Boxter was manufactured in Finland alongside SAAB and Lada.
The Bentley Flying Spur is manufactured in VW's Dresden factory along with the eGolf.
The Bugatti Veyron was designed by VW's designer Jozef Kaban.
Remember the VW W12 "Nardo" concept? Basically a predecessor to the Veyron, but designed by Giugiaro, the guy who was supposed to design the Veyron.
If you can't even spell the names of these brands, maybe read up?
@@incautare8387 Try to disprove anything of what I just said, or maybe your cognitive abilities are just as bad as your spelling?
58% thinks looks and badge are the same thing. Cupra looks much better and sportier. Bloody carbonfibre on a Seat and it looks epic!
Makke but i like this sleeper look 🤪
Thats because it's not your average Cupra, it's been tuned by ABT
I have LeonFR,from nov.2008,no issue on mechanics and electric,very good platform,175CP!
I just love the seat. If i hadn't already bought an m240i i would consider one. Very underrated brand.
💖Trust Fam Trust!👍🏿✊🏿😎
ChipZilla69 no you have the far better car with the m240i. I’d love one of those.
Weird flex
2 series is a bmw's bastard child 🤣🤣
I totally agree; seat is a true bang for your buck!
I'd honestly take the Rs3 even though the design of the cupra is more interesting
This is the worst color for the RS3. So boring.
Hot hatches ? Pffff THEY SUCK !
For losers.
fking brand snob!
@@lensoprezole5322 hot hatches is good and just gtfo of the vid if you dont like them
The spec in the video was shit though
Well...I finally bought Seat Cupra ST (but not a R model). This car is monster packed in little wagon 😁. I am enjoying in it every single day .
I love the copper accents, they look great, especially with that paint colour.
I love the copper details on the seat, plus it's an estate. Wins hands down imo! Also with a saving of 9k you could chuck £500 at a trimmer and get the doors done in alcantara and get rid of the carbon look stuff.
I would take the Cupra, with some aftermarket mods like Exhaust intake etc it could be just as quick but cheaper
Stage 3 revo 1500£ later and cupra is close to 520hp , still 7500 cheaper , and come on now the interior of the cupra is way better and 2019 , Audi a3 2014 models have the same interior as the 2019 rs3 here , the only difference is the hitech speedo , for me that is kinda lame
Theika Plasmenos revo stage 3 for just 1500...i think its Stage 1 for 1500 mit Stage 3, that would be very cheap
But you'll never get the noise like that 5 cylinder
Theika Plasmenos call BS on the power and price.
@@fifthcylinder there are plenty of cupra car out there with 700plus hp and you need no more than 5k to do it , and you still 4k cheaper than the audi , if you spent 5k for the audi then its 14k more than the cupra , with 14k the turbskies on the cupra gonna be so big that will push 1000hp , learn your cars first bro
I love the seat Leon more than the rs3 because it’s so cool and I like the copper inserts
We need a drag race between them. Please!
47k for a golf size car, is a piss take, especially with tuning being so much cheaper these days
Audi RS cars just need to be in Nardo Grey in my opinion, it just looks soooo good!! 😍
I picked the seat because I have been commuting on nice twisty rural B roads for the last 4 years :) and I could do with an estate now and an estate drivers car that is fun on my routes narrows my options quite a bit. Interesting in Cupra St vs golf R estate.
ABT Tuned cupra r 4Drive wow 😍
That audi is like 40,000€ more expensive here in finland. Outrageous I say.
kellikulho Vitun vihervassarit
Wow why so much more expensive
TheITALIANJob Taxes
Still worth every penny.
TomaCukor Well not if purchased brand new. With that kind of money you could import 2016 RS6.
Both excellent cars and the Leon shows just shows how far SEAT has come in manufacturing and designing cars now with the help of VAG. Owning a Leon FR ST myself it’s a very nice car to drive even for a 1.4 TSi.
“It feels slightly more expensive” you can buy 2 low spec cupra’s for one rs3 in my country😂
This was nice, hope to see more of these reviews..... this is is what made CarWow (ok, ok.... I know the brilliant drag races as well), truly hoping to see more of this. Basically I am now getting real advise on the car I plan to get .... do a proper Fromento VZ5 ......if possible, think a lot of people will like it.
When you are so early, that the comment section isn’t even loaded yet.
12:24 the Jeremy clarkson smug face 😂
2:07
*starts vacuuming living room*
Lol 😂 i must say the sound normally isnt like this.
Looking for recommendations...
I'm looking for a reasonably priced family estate/saloon that's stylish, comfortable, spacious and doesn't lack of power so it's still fun?
I've been looking at the late model of the Volvo s60 R-Design or the Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI any other recommendations?
RS3 Defo, that 0-60 is slow normally below 4 seconds. Maybe it's the new emission control.....glad I got a 2017 one 😃
You need an RS3 with the dynamic suspension for a fair comparison, if that's possible with these two cars
Rich ard I honestly think he didn’t go all out, 4.2 is not an Rs3 time💆🏿♂️💔
@@011EAZY When I launch mine it's so aggressive from the off. That wasnt shown in this video. Maybe Matt should have used my car lol
If I want an estate I get the Cupra, if I don’t want the estate I get the M2 Competition instead 😂
… and if you want to drive like there's an egg under the throttle when it rains, get an M2 Comp. I drove one in the wet and it was poor. Fine on a track, but sliding around on a public road and poor traction when you push it... no thanks. Also, interior is dated and so is the tech. Fuel consumption awful and looks like every other BMW. If you need the space you get a properly speced RS3 and if you don't, you get a TT RS or a Cayman GTS.
M2 comp is Just an overpriced drift car
We have Leon ST in the company AND IT IS BLOOMIN LUVLY
M2 competition is over £70,000 with a few options 😂
Don't get me wrong it's a good car but for that price helllll nahhhh
8:29 "The new Top Gear"... I kind of agree!!
Really digging those copper accents on the Cupra.
ALSO; you need a new writer for your video descriptions; " SEAT Leon Supra R " ??!! :)
Ok that’s fishy rs3 is well known for constantly doing 0-60 in about 3.6 secs and Matt knows it
Edit: just went back and watched the formal review and yep it’s supposed to do around 3.7 secs.
leeeinfield the new rs3 is slower off the line due to the new ppf filters
@@belham100It's hurting the TTRS performance too.
Daniel Belham bruh for reals?? Damn well guess when it’s cheaper I’ll stick with a 2018 model lmao
You have to take into consideration excess weight in the car, tires , road surface conditions eat I have no doubt this car can do 60 in under 4
Am with you bro the audi Rs3 is capable of 3.7s from 0-60 Matt just had the worst launch of the line
I really love this part of mat,s checking the exhaust pipes with stick😁😂😅
Also for the RS3 did he build boost properly for the launch? I've seen other vids where they didn't do it long enough to build max pre launch boost.
Matt from Carlisle ... UA-cam preview subtitles knocking it out the park again
The car wow *Stick of Truth* is such a great skit 😂😂
I would pick... none of these cars.
A 2018 RS3 (without the OPF-filter) that does 0-60 in 3.6 second and sounds more than the boring 2019-version.
That's what I would have.
I also thought that RS3 didn't sound right... Pops and bangs are missing. and that 4.2 seconds is a Golf's 0 -100 km/h.
@@Mhlanyo Most of the pops and bang were removed already in 2017 with the facelifted model due to sound regulations, but the flaps in the exhaust are open all the time in dynamic mode instead of over 3500 rpm like before, so it sounds more at low revs compared to before. The 4.2 is 0-60 mph, which is about 4.4 s 0-100 kph. And that is embarrassingly slow for 400 bhp and 4wd. I can't see how anyone with some knowledge would buy a new RS3 now. Better to buy a used one, or wait a couple or years for the next one. 👍
Im spanish and obviously I prefer the seat.
It is more beautiful aesthetically.
Joel Del Moral Sivit luckily with Germans , otherwise you would still make seat Marbella.. .
The front seat or the back seat?

Leon every time, I’ve had 4 of them, cupra R, FR and SE Copa, The R was awesome, only down side was 11 to 15 mpg.
Dunno but the Audi does look more premium and simply sounds way better
With 9k to spare I'd put an aftermarket cat back exhaust on the Seat and maybe a stage 2 tune and still have 5k to insure and tax it.
@@leonardclarke3930 yeah I mean the seat is reasonably priced but the Audi simply has a 5 cylinder looked better and newer and a better car all-round I'd personally save up an extra year and get the rs3
Hot hatches ? Pffff THEY SUCK !
For losers.
Timmie Kat i think the Audi in the wrong color, the rs3 in nardo grey is mean
This comparison is stupid, they should have used an S3 as they have the same engine.
I chose the Seat and love it. Super quick but equally a great day to day car. And you don’t have all that Audi owner stuff to put up with !
Could you please review lada vesta sport ? Facelift 2020? Thank you.
I love the copper bits on the Cupra
I would take the cheaper Seat Leon Cupra. It's also more sporty driving, which i like.

I have a cupra ST not an R and its running 503bhp. Had it running that for over two years no issues what so ever, but i did get the dreaded waterpump/thermostat failure but that was before i did the work to it. In a wagoon doing 0 to 60mph in just under 4 seconds is crazy.
The cupra looks sexy like.
In a better colour even nicer

90k mini with options in France
I have a late 2018 FR 200 dsg estate, £26.5k, a bit of a bargain. Not a big fan of the audi dashboard layout. Also not a fan of 'badge snob tax', so I dismiss the usual German names.

The Ateca is a great deal if you’re looking for an SUV which is not too expensive yet fun to drive and reliable
I was waiting for this. Please do more Seat videos :).
I'm absolutely loving how that Seat looks with the copper details
I'd pick the Audi for a couple reasons. I've owned several Audis and the RS3 is no longer available here in Canada as of 2022 model year. Therefore my 2019 RS3 is now more valuable since they are no longer available. RS3 all the way. Thanks for your review Mat.
The RS3 is such a great all around vehicle. That 5 cyl engine is what one hears and feels when they drive the car and that is a huge difference. Want more power, well there are plenty of mods to really make this engine a real beast!!
You know the RS3 flies when the waterdroplets are escaping at speed @11:38 ;-)
Hey Matt, I love your videos (I‘ve been watching all your videos for a long time now) but I would have two things to suggest:
1) The sound is sometimes too quiet, sometimes its hard to understand you. Would be great to improve that.
2) Anyone outside the UK may have problems with the information such as prices in Pound, miles per gallon etc. (for example, I live in Germany and I believe that the range is now greater than just the UK) and as a viewer you have to convert everything yourself (1st world problems, I know). Maybe it would also be possible to specify Euro prices or liters per kilometer.
Otherwise keep it up. Very good format :) Much love
Wait to see throttle response on a Stage 1 RS3 ;)
I want that Cupra so bad. I saw it in person last week. The Cupra is stunning 😍😍

Matt you should have done the Cupra St 4drive v the S3. I'm a new Seat cupra st owner and I didn't have to spend over 40K for 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Same spec as the Cupra R minus the Abt tuning pack and boy racer dressing. V happy!!!
I would like to see that 5 pot in different states of tune in more Audi’s
The seat Leon cupra r estate is basically a vw golf r estate so why not compare the golf r estate to the rs3
RS3 is the better car for its price without no doubt.
But the Cupra would be the clear winner overall, if it was compared to the S3.
One thing you didn't mention, RS3 has no rear seat armrest. That's a big disappointment especially at that price point. The Leon has a rear seat armrest. Also I think the Leon cupra R comes in manual transmission.
There's a typo in the describtion @carwow. It says Seat Leon Supra R in stead of Cupra R
Seat cupra r and a luxury 2 week holiday in the Maldives fo me...much better deal than the Audi.....👍
@8:50 ish.
The Audi feels much more expensive......well that's not surprising...it is.
As a Cupra owner I'm obviously going to choose the Cupra, although I like the Audi's disappearing screen.
My thoughts exactly 👌
Why are you comparing an abt leon cupra vs a normal rs3? And what tuning was made by abt on the cupra?
9:19 the exact moment that Mat regretted wearing just shorts and a T-shirt
The rs3 😍 I have the regular a3, i can only imagine being in that rs3
that RS3 is missing the performance pack which would give you the single piece diamond stitched bucket seats etc.
Also, it looks very sublime in white. but spec that car in nardo grey with black optics package etc. and it will look far more menacing.
And it's gonna cost 10k more...
Do a challenge like corsa vxr Vs other hot hatches like fiesta st like things in there performance
Just imagine that Leon ST with the RS3 2.5 TFSI engine 👀👀👌🏼👌🏼 perfection
Which would I pick?
Neither, they're both bloody expensive. I'd genuinely go for like a 5 series or an S90 for that money
Or buy a dozen used pieces of crap. Neither comparison makes any sense..
Are you a man in your 40s?
@@Bazgti250 lol no, just I dunno if the rs is worth that money
Well with a 5 series or a S90 you won't have even 10% of the fun that you get in a Cupra

I have a stage 1 f30 335d and I raced the abt version and it didn't end well for me
They have 2 at 34.5k with delivery miles currently fo sale. Did they really discount the new price by 4K a year ago?
@@JC-wr2tp Yes they did. Talk to Karla at Letchworth Cupra, she will sort you out!
@@maxspencer1151 if you look at their website they have 2, but think one is sold. Looking at Autotrader, the prices seem reasonable, but both are more than 33k. They offered a good p/x on mine but possibly as they have flex in the Cupra.

@@Zeruel82Mk2 evo magazine got a 3.7 out of the new RS3 a month ago. You can read below. I find Matt's reviews always favour what ever brand he is driving. When he had the RS4 Audi was winning everything, then he got the 850i and BMW seemed to be the flavour of the month. Now he has the Merc G63 and the first video putting the new AMG A45 S against the RS3 and it's 0.5 seconds slower to 60. All seems a bit convenient.

Another great video from Carwow! I think I’d take the Cupra it it was in a hatchback shape rather than a estate!
Best youtube channel.. by far
