    I’m finding myself walking down the street now, seeing a nice car - spot a fake vent and think to myself “gonna have to zonk that”. That rear wiper not hidden by that roof spoiler, tsk tsk “gonna have to zonk that”. Love your videos, thank you!

    I like the redesign but wish they would have added ventilated seats, heated steering wheel and a 360 camera on the top trim. Also wish they would have kept the magma red seat option. Not crazy about the toggle shifter, the one from the A4 would have been better.

    Why do several car manufacturers need to reinvent the gear shift? I don’t want a dial or a 1” toggle switch to put it in gear. I want a nice meaty gear selector that I can put my hand on. On my Audi S4 I still had a thick gear selector, it only moved about 1 inch, so it freed up a lot of space but still made it feel like a proper car. Quit trying to neuter the driving experience!

I love small fast well equipped cars. However I notice that Audi, Lexus, and Acura a very stingy with adding things that should be standard in their vehicles. The 2022 Kia Forte GT has ventilated seats for under 26k for crying out loud. This trim and vehicle should have ventilated seats and a heated wheel. Heated wheels are a must from mid trim to upper trims! Other than that I like this vehicle. The quilted leather looks amazing. This was informative, thank you, and great camera work as well!

    This may just be a VW Golf R underneath the skin, but I'd prefer this to the Golf R. Audi has made some amazing changes to the S3, and for someone who doesn't need that much space, I'd happily take this S3. Plus as someone who loves fuel efficient cars, I think this 2.0L turbo 4 provides just enough fuel efficiency with that 23 in the city and 32 on the highway~ Amazing performance, amazing AWD, amazing sounding engine, Audi knocked it out of the park with this S3.

    I see a few details that hark back to my B2 Quattro, specifically the shape of the instrument binnacle. And the three tiny slots at the bottom of the front edge of the hood evoke the B2 Sport Quattro. Very nice unit, but I would have to have the 5 cylinder. Thanks for the video sir. Cheers.

    Gorgeous car, but for that price I would go Lexus IS500. It's got the V-8 performance and sound, great ride, can pull double duty, and will last much longer.

    The S3 is not "rear wheel drive based." Unlike the S4, it uses a transverse mounted engine and is *front wheel drive based,* using the Haldex all-wheel-drive system.

      @@RaitisRides very true and would normally agree but they’ve definitely stretched the price too far, the power should’ve been equal if not more than the Golf R, at the very least to match the premium of the rest of the car, it doesn’t even have cooled seat and the R does lol
