Awesome vid again joe I do like the Rs3 but nearly 70k for a fully spaced out is a lot off money 💰 still a good review bud 👍🏻 and a pocket rocket 🚀
Good review Joe,to me the styling isn't good,front is not cohesive in particular.Having been in a standard A3,I agree that the interior looks no better and infact it feels a bit cheap and plasticky.Im not a golf fan but this RS3 maybe makes the over priced Golf R look a relative bargain..It sounds lovely though.
I watched your movies with M240i and 440i - and i've just going to buy m240i or rs3 and can't decide - i think sound from 240i was quite good, Which would you choose for dayli with best sound good audio and quite fast. I cant' decide because i can't drive any of them they are unavailable. I've only tried 440i grand coupe, and this feels to heavy but the sound was very nice. RS3 vs M240i which would you buy and why?. BMW is cheaper and i think more fun but is it ? Paweł
Great stuff here, Joe - superb filmwork and sound quality coupled with some pretty tidy driving in epic scenery!
@ Babek
If you’re willing to put down RS3 money might as well just wait for the M2 no?
It’s a banger of a car for European roads. Easy to park, decent petrol mileage, hatchback, all wheel drive, sporty looks, simple interior, fun to drive, handles well in all weather conditions, and probably plenty of aftermarket goodies to modify this little beast.
I just simply love the sound of that 5 cylinder engine.
What sound? Unfortunately the sound is completely gone compared to the sports exhaust of the 2013 RS3 8V. :(
@@christianknoch9227 Just take off the secondary converters. Mine is loud and still have factory DP. Past 4 years I’ve gotten hundreds of compliments on how great it sounds.
@@ryanb8736 his talking about the 2022 one :(
Joe, I love your videos. I'm about the same age as you and grew up reading Car, Top Gear, Autocar, Evo etc. Your motoring journalism is up there at the very top. No bullshit, no stupid voices, no daft analogies, straight to the point, accurate and from the viewpoint of a normal guy like the rest of us. Your enthusiasm shines through, your content is delivered crisply, I could honestly watch your videos back to back for hours on end. Wishing you all the success going forwards, God bless🙂
Usually cars don't look fast on Video, it's a different story on Joe's videos😂
Respect for acknowledging the extortionate prices we have to pay here 🇮🇪 Great video!
Yeah absolute madness! Nobby on cars helped me with that, I feel for you all!
M3 is 140K madness. We need this VRT shit wiped out
I don't get it, why are the prices so high in Ireland?
We are not allowed nice things in Ireland
@@pwfletcher007 The main factor is a thing called VRT (Vehicle Registration Tax). Take the base import cost of a car then add 23% VAT. Then take that new combined total and multiply by the VRT rate which is based on CO2 emissions. In the case of the RS3 as it is over 190g the rate will be 37%. And that is not 37% on the base import costs it is 37% of that cost plus VAT so basically a portion of it is a tax on tax. On top of that even when you apply all that tax the price will be slightly higher as Ireland is a small market and dealers are able to collude somewhat on prices to extract more profit. Imports from the Uk had helped push down prices but now that is gone so we are the only RHD market in the EU. Could be wrong but I believe it is us and the Dutch who tax new cars the most. To add insult to injury the annual road tax for that car would be €1,200. That combined with high insurance and fuel costs are why high performance petrol cars are not that common in Ireland
Really appreciate how descriptive you are about the car's throttle response and overall pedal feel Joe, and that shot at 15:17 was absolutely beautiful 👌Really grateful that Audi continue to produce their 5 pots despite the ever so stringent emissions regulations we get on a yearly basis! Keep up the great work 👊
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed and appreciated it 👌
@@JoeAchilles1 ...great video....glad you mentioned the turbo lag, because that was the only thing I kind of disliked while driving it first time. Apart from that, the car was precisely what my doctor´s ordered. It even steered like my old DC2 Integra Type R..😁 And yes.....I ordered one the next day 👍🏻 I suspect that turbo lag could be due to a turbo size needed to extract targeted 400 ponies.....😁 I believe that bigger RS brothers use a small supercharger to overcome the lag. It looks like they had to economise here on RS3 or maybe it wouldn´t fit in....?
Thank you, Joe. Bit of Audi love going on. Wonderful! Sounded just like an early Sport Quattro ripping up the Lombard RAC rally back in the eighties! What a great job you've got! Lovely scenery. Thoroughly enjoyable. 😊
This is by far, the best review so far… what a setting, looks stunning and really showed the RS3 well… awesome! Great job Joe
By far the best review of this new model, so far. Epic stuff mate!
£54,000 base spec! 😮 Great review though Joe just madness with the prices.......
Well here in finland the rs3 sportback start in 87 988euro which is around 75 000 pounds
A45s is more expensive. I personally think that the saloon is better value as there is not many compact 4 door saloons
Here in Ireland the RS3 is over 110,000 euro so forgive me if I don't feel too sorry for ye. RS4 base price is 155,000 euro. RS6 base price new is 199,000 euro.
Joe, your videos are always very calming to watch. Love your work mate!
I really enjoyed this video Joe!
What with that exhaust note AND the scenery..just wonderful!
Thank you.
You know why i love this channel?? Because joe reviews car the right way! Not this sunday nanny drive around a scenic road talking about the car but he really drives the car to its design and category! Thats what we want to see when we watch a review of a sports car! Only thing I don’t like about this new rs is the silly dash .Another great review joe
Thanks buddy, I was lucky to have such amazing roads and weather to really push and explore what it's all about... Appreciate the positive feedback 👊
Omg joe I’m in love 🥰 love this car so much. Audi have nailed the rs3 finally. Pity so expensive here in Ireland. Epic video joe the drive by shots on that amazing road are unreal well done 👏
Your video's are getting better and better. Keep it up Joe. I see 500k subscribers in a couple years.
Sounds great and you look like your having fun whilst driving the car as it was meant to be driven. It would be interesting to see your views with a long term vehicle. Great vid 👍🏿
What a nice place to review the RS3, amazing scenery! A very curious staggered wheel setup, cannot recall of any other mainstream new car that has front wheels with siginificantly more width than the rears. For sure somebody finally listened to all the comments about safe but boring understeer typical of these RS models
Top notch content as always Joe! My mind's made up, I'm ordering a Vorsprung saloon tomorrow to replace my S5! I was on the fence a little but your review (and the December 1st price hike which I was warned about by Audi today 😅) has made my mind up. Can't wait for your UK review buddy! Keep up the good work! 👍
This channel is fast becoming my favourite right now. Superb video content, camera angles and editing, just brilliant.
Finally a modern Audi RS that can make the rear end slide!
Thanks for your customary excellent video Joe, introducing us to the new RS3. While I'm not really an Audi fan, the descriptive depth of your review suggests there is a much improved driving experience on offer with this latest model, compared to the comparatively numb drive of earlier editions. What a beautiful location too. Well done. Keep them coming.
Joe thanks so much from Australia was eagerly awaiting your opinion on the rs and it now 9 am audio are open and im heading there right now for deposited and happly getting a build date so I justed needed you to know your videos are the best content and im sure many people buy cars based off your reviews me included cheers mate
Nicely done video with a level and balanced view provided, enjoyed that. Good opening shots too, hooked straight away... took a punt and ordered one in August and sounds like that risk was worth it. A month to go before mine arrives...
Loved it. Great in-depth review. Glad to see you give the beans as well
What a car and what en even better location for filming! Also Joe, the edit was great and in 4K. What more could we want.
Thanks for the video. Great review plus epic scenery and excellent driving skill to demonstrate the torque splitter. Can't wait to see your UK review of the car in summer tires.
Another Great Audi review thanks Joe blown away with the stunning scenery as well
Great video Joe, I’m glad that you enjoyed this rs model. I’ve been waiting for this video to go live to get your opinion. Personally I’ve always favoured Audi over BMW so I’m glad that the reviews so far are favouring. I have a carbon black saloon ordered in turbo blue, can’t wait for some spring time driving on the Buckinghamshire roads
Cheers buddy! I can confirm it's incredible on our shitty roads 😂
Great video mate! Production really on point and wow that scenery 😀
Joe: your videos have the right size, tone, content and the honesty some journalists fail to achieve. Keep on with the good work, greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!
Thanks buddy 👊👊
On my second viewing...! Good to see such a high quality production! Visually stunning and I really appreciate the work that's gone into this. It would be good to see this car on some Scottish roads, but would it be on summer tyres?
Love the new RS3! Shame you can’t get the lovely Alcantara interior in the UK. Loved the red or green details on German press cars.
And what a scenery, must’ve been great fun driving there. Great video as always!
Epic video mate, beautiful scenery and driving!
Great review as alway Joe. The one we’ve all been waiting for.
Great review as usual Joe, stunning setting too. Thanks for the mention on Irish pricing. It has gotten to a point now in Ireland where it is almost impossible to afford a car that isn't a 1.6 diesel SUV! Any performance based car now is extortionate. I recently priced the BMW 128ti and it was coming in at close to 55k, almost half of that price was due to VRT and other government based taxes
Excellent video and review Joe Boy. Your work is up there with some of the better stuff on the tube.👍🏼🇬🇧
Thank you 👌
Really great vid, Joe. Thorough and honest.
Best car reviewer on UA-cam... Fantastic to watch, awesome scenery...
Great video @Joe Achilles! Thank you!
what a weird times, i like this audi more than most of new bmws. nice to see you snagged pixel yourself!
Always trust your opinion on reviews Joe. Great job..Can’t wait to see it run on summer rubber.
Epic! Another superb video mate.
wow it can move joe, quality video pal,enjoyed the content.i love the audi RS 3,take care m8 ....
Great review Joe. That engine just sounds so epic. Not seen one review where someone dislikes this RS3. Seems that Audi have finally delivered on the driver involvement. £60k though!!
Bruv this car is proper but no one is gonna Spec one unfortunately 💯🤛🏿😩🤣
The 2022 BMW i8 ua-cam.com/video/diqdM4uCb_o/v-deo.html
Great to see another honest and detailed review from you Joe. It’s a pity the customer experience is absolutely appalling with the VW group. Looks like a great little package but I’ll be sticking with the BMW group for a long while yet 👍
Just ordered an Oakley hoodie! Fantastic review as always 👍🏼
It’s like a back to the future screen for the Rev counter, great video Joe
Epic video, fantastic car and awesome scenery, makes you wish you were there, well done Joe 👍
Great video mate, great quality as you shot it just by yourself. Was waiting for your comments on this as I had very similar criticisms of the outgoing RS3, which felt like a huge lost opportunity given the great engine. Glad Audi have sorted this car, looks a hugely desirable package. Hopefully the adaptive holds up on our roads. Did you get to drive the saloon? If so did it feel different/better/worse?
Joe been watching your videos since the start and your content and production just gets better and better you and Shmee are are a world apart from the complete drivel that Archie Hamilton churns out. I am carefully considering my next car; had a R8 V10 plus for 3 years then got new M4 which was a great car but I prefer a smaller sized vehicle. The other car on my shortlist is the Lotus Emira, will I be disappointed with the RS3 ? Are you planning on doing a review on the Emira ? Keep the video’s coming you really give great balanced views across all key areas 👌 giving your avid followers great sense of want the car would be like for prospective buyers.
Great Balanced review. I do miss the rear wheel driven fun. Cant wait to get mine, under the right foot. Good tip about using the right foot before the apex.
Love the review, Austria looks beautiful.
Great video and colour of car is amazing!! Keep up the good content..amazing views in Austria 👍🏽
Amazing video Joe yet again. How on earth are you not on TV? Look at the scenery behind you that was amazing very well made yet again. Still
Keeping my G80 m3 competition though hehe.
Was about to get one. Selling my M2c and might get the RS3. However, we got 3 years of high taxes on the car, wich is about 7-8 times the regular tax. Thats my concern right now.
Great vid, glad to see your doing well. Been here since 2.5 years. Keep it up!
I have been dying for this review
Mega mate...loved this !
Cheers buddy, likewise with your one 👊👊
I like yellow one
Joe and Pete should have their own driving show called...
THE LANKY LADS!
👍🏻😁
Awesome review and video!
@@douglasb.5601 The old lanky lads 🤣
Love the production on this video & that RS3 looks too much fun.
Spot on Joe! Prices here in Ireland are madness! Then there’s the high road tax. From previously living in the England I’ve seen very competitive lease deals too which we never get here. Great video!👍🏻
Amen to that.. it's ridiculous here.
Fantastic video. Many thanks Joe and congrats 👏👏👏💪❤️
Thank you 👊🏼
Thanks for the review Joe, great review!
That opening sequence 😍 WOW
lovin the new king of the 4-rings .... amazing review 100%
awesome video, joe. i really enjoy the way you review cars. and what a stunning location! god, i want to go skiing. maybe the rs3 would be the car to take ;)
My M140i was stolen, already had a Vorsprung Saloon on order but now having to buy an available dealer spec Hatch to plug the gap until I get my ordered car. Great driving in the video, I’d love to see an accurate, best conditions but valid 0-60, what it’s like to live with and the handling put to the test.
Best review of the RS3 i have watched to date👌
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Great car, great scenery, great video 👌👌👌 would like your thoughts on how it compares to a Golf 8R after your uk drive, as the RS3 would seem like a natural progression for those with deep pockets 😎
Wonderful work Mr Joe,.
That's my DREAM CAR
👏👏🙏
So that casual drift in the intro to the video got me hooked. Great opening sequence my bru.
That Audi is dope.
Great to hear thank you 👊
Fantastic review what an awesome car love the RS3
The best video you have made Joe, and one of the best car videos there is. And the car, well, it might be the best there is.
Thank you buddy 👊
The curve that Joe did at 13:19 is sure to have given him some goose bumps. This car is real fun!
Great Video Joe...your stuff is next level now....
Ahh the Audi laggy throttle...why oh why on such an amazing car...I mean it's a hyper hatch so kind of goes against the whole performance thing...
For now I am happy with my M340i (thanks to you for influencing me to get a B58 over the years - coming from a stage 2 Golf R) but I'll try the RS3 when it lands in Australia middle of next year!
Great review Joe 🙌. How about a track battle against an A45 at Llandow?? That would be a treat
Mega vid mate 👏👏👏
Awesome review. Love that you're on Pixel 6 as well.
Snow, sun and a RS3, living the dream!
Thanks for the video Joe!
For the full review it'd be nice if you could include a more direct comparison to the M240i you've reviewed recently and maybe the M2 as well. These cars are fairly close in terms of power and weight, and now that the RS3 seems to have a more neutral handling character it would be great to hear which one you prefer (or whether the RS3 is now an acceptable alternative to the BMWs) as an enthusiast daily driver.
Yes, I’d be keen to hear your option RS3 v M240i. I’ve got an M240i on order so please be kind! 😁
@@Hmanchester0807 mate i said this on a carwow video comment section and so many people are goin on like its stupid to compare m240i xdrive with this
@@IBBZ650 because it is stupid to compare M240i to the RS3, a fair comparison would be the M2 como yo the RS3
@@yoyo50658 the new m2 ain’t about yet tho is it plus last m140 was on par with rs3 ya dope
A great watch! Very well put together
Great review, thank you. Been some really lame efforts appearing this week with people driving UK dealer demos, but this is so much better. I've got a carbon black sportback in tango red on order - added comfort & sound pack, plus the RS Dynamic Pack. Arrives in March/April... replacing my daily (A45s). Think I've made the right choice. Oh, on a typical 3 year PCP, £550 a month would need a deposit nudging £15k. You'd still be looking at over £30k to own it...
Yeah I just ordered mine and there is no way you can get anywhere near to £550pm with a few k down 😂
This turbo sound is amazing!
Brilliant review as always. I am torn between this and an m3cx. I know they are different class and all but...some more info since you had them both in your hands would be very much appreciated brother. Keep it up !!!
Great informative video, well done Joe
Really nice test !!! And hope to see you driving to UK !!
Great video Joe. What a car 🚀
Good video, great car. Back in Uk, back road spirited driving M2 vs RS3 (not the drag strip stuff) impressions 👍
Thanks for a great review. Stunning scenery! brave to go 285kmh with the winter tires :). RS3 or the M3 xdrive as a daily is the question.
Absolutely love this spec and the sound 🔥 👏 love this colour.
Thanks for a great review.
Joe loves the back end!🤘
Love the RS3. Audi doesn’t get stick for their grills because they look good. Joe.
Superb video Joe!
I love this car. I love the content. Thanks Joe
Thanks fir watching 👊
@@JoeAchilles1 oooh Llandow Circuit with this would be good 👍
Great video Joe, what stretch of road is this?
Can’t get over how good this car sounds for a modern 2022 vehicle
Excellent video as always joe, how does this compare in terms of straight line speed to the m340i saloon?
Keep up the great work!
Crikey, some of the outside shots - love to hear those 5 cylinders wail a bit!
Thanks Joe. Awesome video!!
Very good review. I'll look forward to your summer tire review in the new RS3. Warm AlloooooooHA!
Fantastic setting, fantastic driving, fantastic filming. Epic video. Please do the summer tyres somewhere in wales or up north where it is equally as beautiful!!
Come to Southern Scotland Coldstream to Kirkubright , via the Dumfreis and Galloway Coast Road .
btw he now did
Another great review joe
Keep them coming
Thank you 👌❤️
