Believe it or not, horses are prey animals so nature has wired their brains to flee from unexpected sound, such as popping and banging as opposed to just loud exhaust. Many people suffering from an excess of such noises can attain the same sensitivity. War veterans, for example. I would like to see these pointless noises eliminated from passenger cars.
I mean it's a nice car, don't get me wrong... but my gosh it looks so plasticy inside. Everything that is not directly touched by the driver is so cheap. Hate to say that because for many years the A/S/RS3 Sedan was my dreamcar...
Yes, quality of interior has gone down since 8V era. Apparently Audi purposefully did this to increase the gap between S and RS models because in 8V models the gap was too close 🤷♂️
@@teejay6320 this has nothing to do with the gap between the S and RS models, the RS has the exact same interior materials with a few tiny visual differences. This is simply Audi's cost cutting at work, just like we saw in the new A5. They claim quality goes up but there's now fabric on the dash lmao. False marketing at its finest.
@@xIcarus227 The fabric is optional though. Theres a few options for that trim of the dash, wood, alcantara, carbon like and then the base silver/plastic trim.
You cant even tell its an S3 looking at it from the front. Could be an 115hp 3 cylinder with an S-Line package.. Concidering this costs close to 70k€ its kinda lame. The piano black plastic on the inside is a whole other topic, middle console looks so cheap.
@@BarrelTitor91 LMAO! My colleague bought a brand new Skoda Superb back in 2018. for 35k E. Today, a brand new Skoda Superb (with cheaper materials) costs 50k E!
@@Feedmezz this may surprise you, but people are allowed to comment on things they can't afford. And you don't even know if he can afford it in the first place, sit down.
I didn't really dislike the ultrawide fisheye look, but this FOV is considerably more natural. If it's harder to plan framing around while driving though it may not be worth it.
Have to say the Audi's interior in particular works for me a lot better than the equivalent efforts from the latest Mercedes & BMWs. A more successful balance between modern & traditional
Design-wise yes, but the interior quality is lacking compared to its competitors. It used to only be the A3 with this problem but now it's spreading to the A5 as well (there's now fabric on the dash).
These were never made out of metal, at best they had an aluminum coating on the front during the 8P era but the construction was still plastic. They were always plastic.
2:30 that would make the shift times way faster than Ferrari's DCTs (which are the fastest DCTs to date). Safe to say that's just Audi's marketing bullshit at work 😂
For those who are pissed about the cheap plasticky interior, they are right, but still, I challenge everyone in the comment section, to name a better daily driver(in the compact car section), which has this performance, this tech, this practicality, comfort etc.
2025 is the Model Year. If in 2024 the pre-facelift was still build, the facelift automatically is a 2025 MY.
Horses will not annoyed anymore with new sound regulations.
I will bring my titanium exhaust AMG GTR to make a concert for the horses

@@artysanmobile Horses for courses!
Bro and the horse connection is f-in cute. 🥰
Audi has cut the S3’s balls off!
How so?
Yup, this “thing” looks terrible and soft. Not sporty at all
Oh really ? I wouldn't hand my new car to Max to drive it on the autobahn if I picked it only a week ago 😂
I love small animal bits at the beginning. Kepp up the amazing work! 😎
I had a shoot with this exact car, very chill guy and good car.

@@Thitnn yeah, but no leather. The fact that they're trying to push that fabric as an option is beyond hilarious.
@@xIcarus227 it gets rid of the interior mood lighting too lol, much rather have that over some silly fabric across the dash.
I love the 5 cylinder engine.
2480cc is a legend!!

It just shows the ridiculous downfall of automotive industry! Super cheap rattling plastics that’s beyond ridiculous price vise.
It’s called having a sleeper look. I could care less if someone compares my S3 to A3 3 cyl, the performance of the car will speak for itself.
@@gullible119 FAAFO!! F... Around and find out!!

Not allowing the engine to break-in for a good 500 to 1000 miles is comical.. Full send that POS.
??? literally has 2343km on the clock
Nice car
Audi 2018=2025😏😏😏
Definitely the right call going non-fisheye for exterior walkthrough
I like the lens you used for walkaround here.
It looks horrible! Not aggressve at all/ It's just an A3 with 4 exhausts :x
fr, the previous gen was so much better looking
S3 is regular traffic though so it doesn’t need to look super aggressive. RS3 on the other hand…
You can’t afford it anyway so don’t cry too hard Brokie
@@ViciousFirearms I wouldn't call S3 regular traffic, this is a hot hatch and it should be visually distinct. The RS3 even more so.
@@Feedmezz this may surprise you, but people are allowed to comment on things they can't afford.

Love the sportback 🔥🔥🔥
Very bad car compared to a rolls royce cullinan
You compare S3 wich costs 50.000€ and Rolls-Royce wich costs 250.000€
@@rašword indeed
why would you compare it to a cullinan
I’d rather drive this than a cullinan
Yeah compare to a Space X rocket this car really suck, can’t even go to space !!

The first part of the video seemed like it was pointed down a little much, but other than that it does make the proportions more realistic

Oh, new view is nice )
What do you think abaut new audi s5?
I would love to see more videos of yours man. Please try to keep both hands on the steering wheel at 200km/h and stop messing with the screen😁
Im early for once love the content even on a bad day
Cool 👍👍
damn he living in the future
Next week: 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon REVIEW on AUTOBAHN
why?
It's a model year which starts from July in VAG group
i want to see the RS3 2025 interior upgrade!!
Paddle shifters are not even metal, they are plastic, they look cheap. Earlier they used to put metal ones.
These were never made out of metal, at best they had an aluminum coating on the front during the 8P era but the construction was still plastic. They were always plastic.
@@xIcarus227 yeah but still they look expensive 😄
I like before design. ツ
I like the dashboard , not like in the Golf GTI.
What happened with camera in this video? I think it's behave weird.
A Dhl car 😊👻❤
Fisheye is better to showcase the interior and while driving both are ok but no fisheye could look better in that case.
If that turbo goes ,I would jump into an ocean and be gone from Earth.
The GoPro in front of you could be a little to the middle, the speed meter is hidden before autobahn
I WILL BUY A S3 AND ADD LIKE 300 MORE HP. THAT WILLBE GOOOOD GOOOD
well. only positive thing i can see about that car is that theres no shifter anymore. so BJ's are easier to recieve
Mustard yellow to me. 😂😂😂
This walkaround was better. The fisheye thing always bothered me because, as you said, it distorts the proportions of the vehicle.
Can you plz do the Peugeot 3008 hybrid4 300
À quand un top speed Mini Cooper S (204 cv) en thermique ?
💛 Very Beautiful 💛
What about car break-in and minimum 3.000 km 😅😅😅
That’s 🥜
I prefer less fish eye in the exterior view, less distortion!
No more fisheye pls and thank you
Lol my vacuum cleaner is louder then this shitbox 😂
So is it better than Cupra Formentor? I found Formentor is more fun to drive.
Now that's a sharp car, not that golf r
now try a gmc syclone or typhoon!
At this point the horses are getting annoyed for no longer hearing new cars
Better go and get an M340I i guess
2:30 that would make the shift times way faster than Ferrari's DCTs (which are the fastest DCTs to date). Safe to say that's just Audi's marketing bullshit at work 😂
i preferrred the fisheye
Made for China 😂
AUDİ R8 V10 PLUS GT TOP SPEED PLEAS
What would make you choose that colour, doesn't work with those wheels at all
So, the new S3 has the old S3 badge not only on the steering wheel but also on the seats? Did idiots come up with this change?
Thing is, the M340i is cheaper and better.
I’m always curious about who owns those cars and what kind of work they do, but I assume it would be quite an invasion of privacy.
Cheaper sticker price is missing in this car
Can you please test the Jaguar xjl
Prefer the looks of the pre facelift
I dont realy like audis but i like autotopnl and yellow cars

Where is the draggy and the 0-100 and 100-200 times… cant understand why you will make a video and not put the measured times on the screen…
Mate did you even watch the video? He did 0-100 in 4.8sec and the 100-200 is shown at 11:20. Watch the video first before complaining
They did 100-200 with this car already in a different video.
It's in a different video released 3 weeks ago. That's how they always do it the 100-200 and dragy is done in one video and the review separately
2025 cars is weird 😅😅😅
Interior plastics remind me of a cheap 1990’s Satsui TV or Bush cassette player. Horrid.
Unbelievable to buy the new S3 without DCC and torque splitter
Wish this was a hatchback rather than a sedan half baked sedan
На такой тачке мы ездим за молоком.
strange door panel inside 🤔

Way too small for me
the air vents are pathetic!
Nah
What a ugly front comparing to A35AMG
Terrible colour, that is the sort of colour you vinyl wrap over to hide it away!!🤮🤮
I think the audi A3 is more better than S3
Why? Same car just with less power
Car is a 2024….Video gets a 👎 for saying it’s a 2025
Not his fault thats what the car brands name them?
Or he miswrote idk, crazy to downvote for that and comment it
It is a 2025, what are you babbling about?
8.5 is 2025..
It’s a 2025
tl;dr its another Audi garbage car.
Where’s the new RS3 already
Nice car
