- The ALL NEW RS3 is here and Audi has raised the bar. Under the hood is a 2.5L turbocharged inline-5 that produces 401HP & is mated to a 7-speed DCT. On the outside you will find all new sheet metal, optional wheels, and Audi Sport Exhaust. On the inside there is a full leather interior, 10in infotainment system and virtual cockpit. Is the NEW 2022 Audi S3 a BETTER performance sedan than an AMG CLA 45?

The RS3 responds very well to just a stage 1 tune too. It's crazy how fast this thing can get with just a flash.
There are people making crazy amounts of power with this car.
@@RaitisRides ecu is still locked on the new 8Y. Iroz has the previous 8V RS3 dialed up to 1,300+ horsepower. no doubt will have the 8Y cracked soon.
@@stealthhtm23 500 wheel and this thing may be an M3c killer.
@@JetDriver77 if that M3 C Xdrive isn’t tuned as well
@@TheDNAmusicGroup True, but then again there is that (at least) $20,000 gap between the two cars...

I wish the US got the hatchback version.
Sad
I wish Canada got the RS3 at all
Hatchbacks look so ugly though
Same makes me kinda mad
@@zachattack327fr they look like mini suvs 🤮 sedans look way better
The perfect fun size Audi. Not as crazy about the new A3 interior design though.
Performance of the RS3 is a mind blowing improvement. Might want to fix your title on this video though. It states "S3."
I agree with you Wayne! I fixed it, thanks.
@@RaitisRides
Just wanted you to get the RS3 views and not the more ordinary S3 ones. Both are great automobiles, however that 5cyl RS3 is in a league of it's own in comparison.
I use to own a S3 and it was really fun to drive. I can’t imagine how awesome this RS3 would be.
What year? I’m looking at a 2024 and I’m in love with it. Just waiting for my wife to come around.
get rid of wife @@luke2244
Personally I’d love to have both. Yes I know they have different pros and cons against each other but I love cars and I’m a fan of both companies.
I like the way that you think!
@@RaitisRides I appreciate you saying that Joe.
I've owned mine for 4 weeks now. I came from a Q5 and own a C5 RS6 too. The power is incredible given the vehicle's weight. Handling and agility is superb. Audi made a future classic here, especially as we go all electric. What a machine!!
How much the RS3 cost you?
@@black2fox1 only option on mine is Tango Red Metallic. So without tax, $60,000. Pretty close to base price. I was lucky that the dealer sold without mark-up to me
@@mrglobul12 a very good price 👌🏼... in Saudi Arabia this car is cost more than 89000 USD
65k with technology package and sport exhaust for mine
How's ride quality for DD?
Oh yessss....very beautiful and fast Lil rocket..
Sick paint job too
You hit the nain in the head!
This is a very unique looking Audi! I’m obsessed with the looks and the interior feel. Great review Joe 👍
It is a beast for sure!
Joe I appreciate genuinely a UA-cam channel and a content creator that acknowledges their subscribers by simply showing signs of awareness at least in my eyes from what I see the difference makes a person genuinely feel a part of the channel it makes the post comment section a person's opinion in the time spent and as well as the support for the channel valuable and then return just to see a simple highlight or a like or acknowledgment it's rather got to give respect and thank you for the idea for a rather something I'm doing on my channel to understand it will take time and trial and error for sometime meanwhile even tell somebody that would truly understand the nature of the process and growing a channel from the scratch and I've been your subscriber for quite a while and perhaps perhaps this is why I get the results and my algorithm for suggestions for your channel every time over years to notice a fresh video hours when it comes out therefore I just assume as a amateur one of the UA-camr this is how the algorithm really encourages the content creator to interact with the comments and likes and that's at least in my eyes brings up your channel up right away every time and I have over hundreds of other car channels with the same cars not only that I've got to give credit for credit is due and say as a man that's you came a long way
This was written by voice because my screen is not working really great to type so excuse me for a long looking novel but perhaps you have a chance to filter out what I'm trying to come across the message as I just open my phone literally 15 minutes after I watched the video and left the comments I came back to see how many views I got on my new video that I posted regarding the subject that I'm writing about right now and see the jewelry was already on top of technology subscribers commenting and I respect that also had to perhaps say how I see it because for me that's how it works out of many many car channels over the years since I can honestly say does the most actual feedback I've got from the actual channel so it would make sense from my UA-cam algorithm to push your videos on top and with that idea as an amateur channel I am taking notes and will do some experiments and thank you for smiling my face cheers
For me bigger front tires is zonky. If just one size maybe ok but it’s 3 sizes bigger I think 🤔, guess no one can really tell though
That yellow with the black trim and paint stands out in the sun. They did a great job with this car by the way.
You are so right about that.
@@RaitisRides thank you
what tyres did u have on the rs3? thanks bud!@@RaitisRides
Hey my friend change your title to RS3
This is Joe cocktail day 🥳🥳🥳
That may throw off algorithm… He’s better off keeping as is.
It is a rs3 you need to go back to school
@@KimChi4Life it wasn’t buddy stop talking when you don’t know anything
Done & Done!
This 22' Audi S3 sedan looks cool in yellow.
Terrific job with your content as always Joe.
Actually, it's an Audi RS3 but Joe forgot to add the "R" to the "S" to the title 🤷.
You are the man with the plan!
@@jonathansmith1590 It is all fixed now!
They really nail the style of the RS3. I agree with you though, a 3rd pedal would complete the vehicle. I do have to disagree on the steering wheel. They have access to some dynamite choices. The RS3 deserves it. Great review and even better test drive.
Would love to get an RS3 before they do away with this beast engine.
"speaking of creamy mess" hahahaha
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
RS3 *
Fixed it brother!
Zonk for the fake exhaust oval vent
The ONLY car I’d trade my golf r in for
Beautiful colour💛
It is even better in person!
The CLA45 has character and violence from the rear end which this car is missing. But still a great car
This little car packs a punch. Compact sedan with 400 horses from a 5 cylinder is pretty potent. Imagine a manual transmission with this too. That would be a nice combo
It really has a power punch!
Hell yeah, I’ll take this over to that new ugly m3 with the beaver tooth grille lol
No manual are old school and slow asf let the car do it’s thing if you want to shift use paddles I’m tired of people saying this
@@yungmayo4037 manuals will always be fun. To row through your own gears its a lot of excitement. Any automatic are boring. It's all computerized there is no fun in that
@@mattmekhaeil I literally said u can do the same thing in a automatic my first car was a manual and I hated it I rather have a free hand only old heads like manuals more
IDEA: stop yelling during launch control.
I've been a Porsche + Audi guy since 1979. I love those cars
In Europe and other markets outside of the Americas, we have the RS3 as a hatchback too. We have the sedan too.
The hatchback competes with the Mercedes A45s AMG.
This is very true Dave!
To bad dealerships are asking 15K over
The Berlin Wall piece
I had an opportunity to drive one, and the way that torque kicks in around corners is insane. I knew you would love driving this one!! Awesome video!
Thanks Michael! I am so glad that you were able to experience it as well.
It’s a bumble bee!
This colour is crazy🤯
Lol. I was thinking the same thing.
More than meets the eye!
@@Reaperguy67 Same here!
@@sferaebbasta3667 It really pops!
That engine sounds simply awesome man , like a mini V10 or something , wow !
This thing sounds , handles and accelerates like a mini supercar .
Great review man , keep'em coming , bye , bye !
Finally someone said something about the fake vents in the back. It looks awful.
Wish the US got the Hatchback version of this car and this would be my dream car
Be nice to a stretched 7 Series BMW that does 200 miles per hour too but yeah, absolutely Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, Porsche and ever and always the 4 Rings they all really do mean business at the moment with Volkswagen pouring just unbelievable amounts of Capital into Tennessee to start getting that ID 4 out the door here in the USA.
I've never seen better metal on the market *EVER* in vehicle History than right now and that runs the entire *GAMUT* so absolutely spot on great look over.
The *MONSTER* for 2022 has been the Jeep Wrangler Xe though so it's interesting to see how all of this shakes out as who doesn't want SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket performance going on forever?
Even NASA is all excited now..
I think you said it perfectly!
Also Its so Jetta design inspired. I never thought id see a Audi be mixed with a VW. Idk man.
Audi hands down got the best lighting ever
Love the design the color not much better Black or White color with Black interior and red stitching
🤦♀17:53 Innuendo fail! German Car Wiener Schnitzel, WTF! Please stop trying to sound smart. Whats next? ............................ Ferrari ah French Fry 🤦♀
I’m offended that you never mention where to store your Ding Dongs, Fruit Pies and Ho-Ho’s.
So Joe, how’s does it compare to the cla45? Which interior did you like more, which one handled better, was more responsive, which would you pick?
This RS3 is the way to go!
Audi saw the Honda Type R and saw inspiration to make this RS3 I guess lol it has those massive circle vents up front nearly identical to the old Type R
It’s a cool car, but for $60k I’d get a ZL1
My local Audi wanted $20k dealer mark up over MSRP to order one lol. Yaaaa no.
im so sad that they don't sell the RS3 in Canada... something about not meeting the safety standards, not 100% sure
When can we see your car collection? Something tells me you have some nice rides.
Sure will Nick! Stay tuned!
I take delivery of mine in about 1 month. It started being built a week ago, but I put the deposit down in early March. So unfortunately it's not one of those cars you can just go pick up on a whim. You need to order it WAY ahead of time. For one it's limited production so you need to wait for an RS slot at your dealership, but also because of the never ending supply problems.
Would love to see your take on a comparison of a 2023 Audi RS3 and the 2023 BMW M340i
We will put that together!
Never ever seen fronts that are wider than the rears. Bizarre
I gotta say, I prefer my fully equipped 2019. 0 zonks on the outside! Granted the technology isnt as good as the new one since its an older model, interior's finishes on the 8V feel way more premium, from shift knob, speakers, steering wheel, even seats and all the Alcantara.
Thoughts?
Love my 2019 8V as well! Sleeper for sure.
8V just doest drive as nice...and you buy these cars to drive.
I agree with you: luckily 2019 isn’t too old. And old isn’t bad. Tech is hard to keep up with and expensive. Materials I agree on but that’s no deal breaker. You got a gem.
HEYY nice video💥 ottima recensione Joe!
Thanks!
Love this video Joe! Can you do RS5 sportback as well. Love what you guys do in this channel!
I will get that together for you Mustafa.
I love everything about this car. It's perfect
No heated or ventilated seats.....
did you not see him turn on the heated seats?! lol. no ventilated tho
@@stealthhtm23 nah but thanks, at least there's heated
Please call the Consulate and demand a sportback. I’m on a hunger-strike; pray for me.
I am biased, but I prefer the looks of the previous gen both inside and out. Not a fan of excess black painted body work
Maybe once you see it in person you will like it more.
That shifter is a one inch punisher tho 🤓
12:10 - EXACTLY!! I’m really hoping that iPad-looking infotainment trend goes away soon.
It makes a car seem less premium; as if they just wanted to get the car built, and they have some guy from the apple store, at the end of the assembly line, just adding them on right before they ship. An afterthought.
No flat bottom steering wheel, no aluminum ball shifter, WTF Audi? I mean I’ll probably still buy one because of torque vectoring drift mode, but damn, I would consider replacing the steering wheel at least with one of those fancy ones with led shifting lights
love the color, it matches well with the calipers. awesome video jue!
I think Audi is the Apostle to luxury and the Apostle to performance and quite frankly I love the school bus yellow is a dandy.
You hit the nail on the head Luis!
@@RaitisRides Thank you.
I could be wrong, but i think Joe really hates gloss black. Everytime he mentions gloss black, it's never with any enthusiasm, especially on the door panels🤣 but gorgeous car tho. That yellow is poppin'!!
wait did you mis speak or are my sources wrong? You said about 3100 pounds curb weight every thing i look up says 3600 lbs ish.
This 5 pot would be great in an A5/S5. A wink to the original Audi UR Quattro.
Beautiful car but the gloss back is too much. It scratches super easy and is hard to keep clean. The automotive industry has to find a better material to use
I'm here for the door pocket reviews
Just bought the S5 sportback for a little more than the rs3 here. I’m kind of wishing I got an rs3 🤔.
That is the way that I would have gone.
@@RaitisRides my baby had me wanting more space 😭. Love the videos!
I would chose RS-3 over AMG and M240
Would LOVE to buy one but I am not patient enough to order and wait for one. Can't find any on dealer lots near me.
I totally feel your pain. I looked as well.
WHAT A FREAKIN CAR!! HOLY 💩! HOLY 💩! HOLY 💩...
For the 5 cylinder alone yes
RS3s are so ugly though. The rs5 and rs7 are so much better looking sedans
these new Audi headlights make em look like tarted up Vee-Dub Jetta CCs, wrong direction Audi
Audi makes some sharp looking vehicles……..this one reminded me I need bananas 🍌😎
I'm not a fan of the color, but it actually works well. I prefer a sleeper rather than the "in your face" colors.
I would go Nardo Grey David!
@@RaitisRides Nardo Grey is definitely a "hide in plain sight" color.
The back fake vents looks like a Honda civic
You’re nuts if you think the sunshade doesn’t block the sun; every manufacturer should provide a sunshade for sunroofs. I agree that the mini shifter nub is stupid, you can’t rest your hand on it while you drive
The back bumper is such a let down. To hide it I would go black or black and white. Nice little pocket rocket.
I agree with you!
nice color combo, reminds me of my 2001 S4 back in day - except 21years neweer lol
Those 30 series rubber bands they call tires are horrendous for city streets. 1 small pothole and you’ll be wishing you took the extra wheel/tire protection package…..
I have a 2019 RS3 and bought the rim and tire protection package for $1800, so far I’ve gone through $3500 in rim repairs and new tires.
Rear bumper its cool
Describe how?
Thank You Almighty God I will buy one for myself
Love this car than a girlfriend.
Good call!
Endless money pit Scotty Kilmer😎
First of all, I`m in love with the Audi RS3, Second of all, Great review Joe✌ I love em, and third of all, I`m gonna get myself one
This car is so badass, the paint colors are beautiful. Dream car
Rs3 is just a cheap knockoff of Kia and huyndai Elantra
Yeah....right
Every new car in the US is ruined by that orange reflector that is completely unnecessary
That’s a beauty… so mean and aggressive 😠
You need to get behind the wheel.
The interior yes Audi is killing it. Im loving the cockpit style set up with the Dual Screens.
I wish north America got the hatch option
I’m aroused by this car 😜
I've been a Audi and vw tech for many year. i fell in love when i first did a clutch on a 1995 Audi urS6 which in Europe was called the 100, it was love at first gear! the 20v 5 cylinder turbo engine that they used in the past with the legendary Audi quattro, rs2 etc. is special! when i heard they revived the 5 cylinder i was super excited. RS3 is a beast of a car. with a simple tune and a down-pipe it gives the R8 a run for its money off the line. exhaust stock is quiet, there is no denying that but lets be honest, exhaust or down-pipe alone with a tune is what everyone does when they buy this thing straight out of the gate!! lmao the VAG extremely detunes their cars esp after that entire emission scandal lol
What tunes, if any, can you do without voiding the warranty?
@@commane21 unfortunately none :/
Man that looks great! Thanks for showcasing this Joe👌. Looks great in black too.
Great reviews as always, can you check and reconfirm the weight and 0 to 60 ...seems off from what's advertised ....
Like confirm them from the manufacturer website? I did.
That’ll do…
That’ll do.
Thanks Algorithm!
Hi Joe
Thanks as ALWAYS , this one is what I’ve been waiting for ! I’m looking into this in the kyalami green / turbo blue ! Watching you test drive was pretty convincing, it’s ridiculously fun isn’t it !!!!
Bro you looked like you needed a cigarette after some of those runs through the twisties! This RS3 comes across like Audi is using all their techno wizardry for one last showcase before the rise of the EVs. Almost the same deal like Caddy and the Blackwings: if internal combustion's days are numbered, they want to go out one a high note.
This will do it to you!
🔥🔥🔥
That's an awesome review! Keep it up!
Thanks brother! You got it!
RS5 Sportback is still my favorite
He never holds back, He's crazy😂😂
Took at CT4-V BW on 8/23 and could not be more happier for a high performance sports sedan. This looks too small. The BW is a little bigger. I have hauled 5 a few times and although it was a little tight, there were no strong complaints.
The Blackwing is the way to go!
