Sold my RS3 this last June. I had it for 3 years, 30k miles. Hands down the best car I've ever owned. I didn't see myself trading it in so soon but life happens. I ended up in something faster out of the box and more suited for the southern climate ;). These cars are pretty stout and regular maintenance is about it. If you tune, just double up on your maintenance i.e. do oil changes every 5k vs 10k, plugs, and other oils at 1/2 their recommended mileage (this is IF you tune). I was stock for 30k miles and it was more than enough for me! Great video for people looking into getting one!
Out of curiosity what did you end up with? I live in the south also 😅
@@collinwaters2013 I got a G80 M3, RWD, first time in a RWD vehicle. Moving from MN to FL, I finally gathered the courage to try it and it has been an amazing experience sofar! I've only had FWD/AWD cars last 20 years.
@@SchwaboChannel Nice!!
@@SchwaboChannel I’m in Minnesota and debating on moving down south. Do you regret it at all?
@@dylanausen5686 I'm down in FL, 0 regrets sofar. Granted we've been down here since August. But not having to worry about salt, wheel changes, cleaning driveway off snow and I get to enjoy a RWD car year round. Its a plus for me. The added bonus is the beach is 10 min drive. I would definitely recommend it, at least a few years to see if you like it or not. Its weird doing Halloween in 75F weather ;). Cheers!
Quick note as an RS3 owner myself. If you drive it hard check the oil level frequently. Minimum once a month. Keep your oil level ridding the max line too. IROZ made that recommendation as they found it can lead to some oil starvation issues in hard driving. They make an oil pickup spacer which helps.
I’m currently JB4 and this thing went from a 3.9 0-60 down to a 3.4. Should be good for a 11.4-11.6 1/4 mile on pump gas. 😎
You are correct Denis this car drinks oil as much I drink coffee. I keep a jug of oil with me in case I'm somewhere where they wouldn't have synthetic oil. In closing this is an absolutely fantastic car. Cheers.
do you still own the car ? how often do you drive it. i’m looking into getting an rs3 over my s4 but whats stopping me is reliability. i would keep it stock no flash. car already had an intake. i haven’t seen many people who daily them and i live where it snows and it would be my only car so i don’t know what to decide
@@Bo2montager they're solid. I wouldn't be worried.
What oil you using? I'm planning on using 0w-40
@@Bo2montager same live in the mountains, seems like a good package, maybe stockpile some euro oil in bulk tho.... seems to be the only thing
This is gonna be my next car in the future for sure. I love everything about it
Same here man
I’ll get it somehow when the stars align
Well, how did it play out?
I'm on 1+ with my RS3 and the TCU tune was a great addition. Shifts a little quicker but in S and D mode the car feels like the shift logic is definitely better than stock TCU tune
Great video, man! I’ve had my 19 Nardo for two years now and it never gets old. Only mod is a Uni Stage 1 and spacers but that’s about it. Each time I see a video with more upgrades I’m tempted. 😁
I’ll buy one when I can find a used one that cost less than a new one
How much a new rs3 costs in Canada? How about s3's and a3's? (approximately)
I'm curious since I'm from Europe, thanks.
Haha that is true 🤣🤣
@@mmanouvelle Damn, here for 2017-2019 s3 sedans the prices are ranging between 60-75k CAD depending on the mileage. A new one costs well over 100k CAD.
Going to be hard to find a cheaper used one. Inventory is so low right now. I brought my 19 RS3 with 25k miles to the dealer the other day for service and they offered me what I originally paid for it. Hard to find these cars
@@davidhiitt4569 Thats my issue now, I am really considering S5 or RS3, but the 2nd hard market is insane. I don't mind waiting till next year but will it change or get worst, who knows...
I was hoping you mentioned the thing that kind of suprised me and that was the tires and how fast this little car eats them. Its hard though, to not drive this like it was built for. I thought too that I could leave it sit more often. Anytime it is out of sight out of mind its easy to forget how good it is. Easy to take for granted because you let it sit for a while but it will remind you quickly what it is. But I thought cost of tires should be mentioned.
Watched this video 1.5 year ago, said when I buy the car Im gonna come back!
SOOO today was the day I bought my first Rs3 2017 Sedan!!!! Getting it in 4 days🤯
Congrats bro! I’m proud of you!👏🏻
@@LifeOfOliver1What do you think about a 2018 with 60k miles?
Funny since the last video from me waiting to get a RS3 to now having a deposit on it ! Brand new 2020 florets silver , however the dumb recall so I got to wait til its fixed to pick her up...Watching your vids make me even more excited !!
Just bought mine this today currently driving it back home🙏🏽🙏🏽
Congrats man!
You lucky bastard! Enjoy, nothing like new car day, new RS day even better.
I just picked up a Nardo Grey 2020 Skoda Octavia RS Wagon (same drive train as Mk 7 Golf GTi Performance, trick front diff) which is fast enough for Australia's speed camera fest and can fit 5 adults, board and bikes when needed. VAG make good product.
I just bought mine 6 days ago 💞
How you finding it?
Nice review. What are the tire and wheel size? I have the rse102s in a 19X9 with 265/35/19 tires and the H&R sports springs. I am worried that the set up might rub. The set up you have looks good. Do you rub anywhere?
Thanks for this video! It helped me make the tough decision to move from an OG M2 to the RS3. I've only owned a RS3 for a few days, but so far I'm extremely happy
I’m debating between OG M2 vs 2018 RS3 and keep going back and forth. Can you share more feedback?
@@zonnie888 Absolutely! The RS3 is undoubtedly faster and is a better platform to build on if you want to make massive power easily, while the M2 handles better which I expected going from RWD to AWD. Both cars sound awesome with an aftermarket exhaust.. though I prefer the RS3s sound. Interior quality is better in the RS3 as the OG M2 basically has the interior of a 235i with a little alcantara. After 4 months of ownership I can say the RS3 is an epic daily and has plenty of room for a car seat. I do miss how well the M2 handled and would love to have one again. You should definitely test drive both if you can.
Thanks Nick! Yes the awd is important to me because I live in Canada and we do see snow 3-4 months of the year which would render the m2 useless because we’re quite hilly and the snow comes down pretty hard. I know the OG M2 sounds amazing and I’m hoping the RS3 stock sounds good too.
What was your reason for changing from m2 to rs3?
@@zonnie888 I made the change for AWD, I'm in Northern USA and deal with a lot of snow as well. The RS3 is an absolute beast in the snow with a set of snow tires
@@nicks6384 RS3 owner also in Northern USA. We get Lake Effect snow. Definitely not an issue here with the RS3. Snow tires are a must. Plus, the RS3 is a four door which is great if you have kids like me. I never get tired of hearing compliments on the car from the younger generation to the elderly.
Will I miss having a daily manual trans with this car?? This is one of the few I'm shopping for and one of the few without 3 pedals.
I love how you started video with that killer intro
Oliver, I thought the same thing when it came to a TCU tune. I thought it couldn't be that much better. I'll wait until I really need it (stage 2). I read on forums that you would lose most of the pops and bangs with the TCU tune so I stayed away. I ran into someone who tunes all types of cars, foreign and domestic and he said " So your gonna upgrade the power that's coming out of that motor and transfer that power to an unassuming stock transmission?, good luck with that." So that stuck with me. My ECU/ TCU tunes we're going on sale, so I said why not? I'm going stage 2 soon anyway. Let me tell you it makes a huge difference! Manual mode shifts instantly with Zero lag. There are so many things you can customize your TCU to do. I'm driving a completely new car now. I couldn't believe I didn't do it sooner. It's just my experience but you won't regret it. Good luck.
Totally agree, I love my Uni TCU tune. I’m running Uni Stage 2 E85 and it’s a beast!
Stage 2 TCU is required for Unitronic software at Stage 1+, honestly it made the car “feel” quicker with how it pulls in both lower and upper end. Would recommend with inserts as well.
If any GTI/R guys reading this (and probably other to) You should go with TVS Engineering from Netherlands: Their said to be the best in the DSG Tuning business! The Stage 2+ is their most sold TCU tune & im most likely getting the DQ250 for my 6-speed dsg in my GTI Clubsport MK7 soon. Check the build on my channel! 👍
Whilst talking about the boot....how much stuff have you ever been able to load into the back of it? What's the height of the boot?
Camera set up ? Love the quality and the strong hues
I’m looking at maybe an RS3 but what do you guys think with prices rn you can get an m3 so I’m kinda wondering which is worth it ?
I want one of these so bad but Currently have a 15 s5 for a year now but I don’t wanna get my self in a big hole hopefully I’ll get one when I can properly afford one
thanks bro, my dc2 got stolen. got a daily driver that i paid off. now its time for a fun car again. im debating between this or the supra.
What mods do you have on this car and what do you think you’re making hp wise?
Does Carly operate on a token system like I’ve seen with other obd II diagnostic scanners, or is this unlimited use after the initial purchase?
Were you able to take off the front plate/ bracket easily??
How did you get the pops with no tune ? What’s your exhaust set up
Why don't you like hatchbacks? They are SO much more practical without giving up performance.
Can’t wait. Just put order in last week for the 23 rs3. Was originally gonna go w the sport blue but decided to go black on black.
Are you still waiting for it?
It came on December then changed mind. Decided to keep my m340 and mod it up. I liked the look better on my Beamer. Was a tough choice.
Looks so much better than the new one. Which looks like a household appliance with all the black plastic.
I couldn't agree more. I thought I am weird when thinking this 2018 model looks great compared to the current 2021 model.
You're right about the cost for brakes. I used to own a B8.5 RS5. The front brakes and rotors alone were $5K. Looking to buy a RS3 within the next week or two. Fingers crossed!
Great video, really honest perspective, I didn't realize the calipers were 8 piston from audi?
Great video. I noticed that your seats look like you have the RS Design package, but your seat belts are not edged in red. Can you explain?
I can explain this. There are different packages for the red accents and the seats are not really part of it. When you buy the car new, you can buy just red stitched seats. I believe the RS design package then changes, like you said, the red accented seat belts as well as red vent air cups.
Great explaining from Alex. I bought this car used so I actually do not know why as well.
Fire video bro how much is the rs3 making and how much was ur s4 making?
Thanks man! Right now Im making about 480ish to the wheel. The S4 was making about 450 crank but 1/4 time is massively different. The RS3 is just so much quicker
What would you say about the s5? Im in Sweden and theres one with 50k kilometers 2018 modell. For 42k$, hows the driving on the s5? Im leaning towards s5 or M2 but the Rs3 is getting to me
My RS3 2022 will arrive in May. So excited 😍
Love this car so much... have had it for about a year now and drove 18k miles haha. My previous car I put average of 8k miles a year... I almost feel bad for putting that much in a year
same dude. I can't stop driving it and then I feel guilty looking at the odometer. I am at 28.5k got it at 13k, 2 years ago.
Just got a RS3 2 weeks ago amazing car
Hey how's it holding up
How reliable is it?
Fuel consumption? Its important ... i want one but the difference to s3 is too much? Regards budy
Glorious exhaust sound wow..
Hello all, can you fit a set of golf clubs in the trunk?
Just sounds like a mini r8 which is dope asf
I thought more so a baby Huracan tbh
Liam Hunter the Huracan uses the same motor from the R8 lol 🤦♂️
@@nicholaspeppas945 I was thinking the V8 versions for some reason when I saw the comment
@@liamhunter2403 only the r8 came with the v8 option. Huracan is v10 only
@@iansullivan7777 I was saying I was only thinking of the V8 version of the R8 when he said R8.. Not remembering the R8 also had a V10 that is the same as the Huracan
I do like the knobby trunk, it is a four door coupe.
What are the size details of your wheels/tyres if you don't mind me asking? Looks like offset and width are perfect!
These are 18x9.3 ET 41 and 245/40/18
Thank you for talking about the shifts , I had an m4 comp and all other cars seem slightly slower than that in terms of shift time or the shifts are just as fast but the delay between pressing the shift button and the gear change is always slower than the m4. I have driven PDK / MB and nothing has matched the m4 in terms of shifts so far.
so can I ask is the time between pressing the shift button and the car changing gear as good as the m4comp? In your video it looked slow especially the 3rd change when you focused on the shifting in the first half of the video @7:39
My current dream car
I have an e92 m3 and a stinger GT watching this video, thinking about adding to the stable with an rs3
you need a cam damper mount
14:00 - maintenance
What’s your Wheel and tire size? ❤
Swear I seen you earlier exiting at allen/yorkdale rd exit. If it wasn't, car sounded like an absolute beast nonetheless lol
Haha that was me🤣🤣 what a small world
@@LifeOfOliver1 small world indeed lol stay safe brotha !
DSG will make the shifts super quick
Amazing car for the $. There is only one problem. And that is the understeer....but it seemed to be fixed now for the 2022. I want one!
I believe rear swaybar reduces the understeer for around $250AUD
Going to get a 2024 in the next few months. Glacier white, carbon package. Black badging (and roof)… full suspension setup (coilovers), strut & sway bars, subframe braces, full exhaust & downpipe, intake, ecu tune. Looking to be a bit over 500hp. Retiring my 2002 IS300 (original owner) which is pretty built. It’ll be swapped to a full track car setup.
Porsche's PDK is the best hands down DCT. Then Audi/VW. Then BMWs.
I agree. I haven't driven any GT model posches yet so I dont have hands on experience but from what I see PDK is the king
I agree. I had a Macan S before my Audi S3...PDK is smoother, faster and doesn't get confused like a DSG can be. The S3 is certainly a better all rounder IMHO. The highway cruises are just as relaxing but the backroad blasts are much more fun (and quicker) in the Audi! The new RS3 is calling me though! :-)
@@douglasb.5601 How do you like the S3? Do you find it small?
@@zed0k
I find the boot a little tight (though fine for everyday use). The S3 does not feel small inside though. I'm a leggy 5,11 and my 6ft son fits in the back no problem. I like the look of the sedan but the reduced headroom in the back would be an issue..but the hatch...no problem. 👍🏻😎.
My boys both find the back seats of the S3 more comfy than the Macan's (which were more upright).
@@zed0k
I forgot to say, I love my S3...probably my favourite daily driver ever. Mine has the adaptive dampers, virtual cockpit, matrix LED's, radar cruise and was just pre the PPF's...so it sounds great and has the full 310PS.👍🏻😁
I got mine with 6000 miles on the clock (it was an ex Audi car)..if you check out CarWow's S3 video...that's my car. 👍🏻
I am getting my RS3 2019 tomorrow and after watching this video i can’t wait even more! :Dd
How you like it
Been watching your videos since you had the B8.5 S4. I also have a B8.5 S4. I have been putting money away for the last 6 months to make a down payment on either a RS3 or F8x M3/M4. I live in Ohio so being AWD, it has an upperhand (I also have an E46 M3) to drive in the summer. I was just wondering if you could please let me know or even make a video about the specs (paint, options, packages) what to look for in the RS3 and what yours has. Thanks :)
dude i just got a 8V s3. where did you get that spoiler?
The B8/8.5 S4 use the DL501 7-speed transmission not the DQ250 6-speed fyi
I had a a4 at first & Your the reason I got my s4 now I want a iroz rs3 😭😈
love the videos man, dream car is the rs3 sport back
Thank you!
@@LifeOfOliver1 could you do a video about things you dislike about the car “if there is anything” ?
I want to buy a Rs3 but does it come in Manual
You mentioned you have a stage 1+ tune. Is it an APR tune?
No the tune is from Eurocharged Canada
Need that tune..i wish i was closer id let you drive mine
It's looks beautiful!
What year is this one ?
I am shopping for my next car, and bit worried with current 2nd had market this might be bad time. I test drove S5 which has stunning interior but I just feel it was missing something. I think I might have to test drive RS3. I be doing max 10k km a year, so RS3 might be a good choice. Thoughts?
Damn, 11.3 with a mild tune, 93 and some bolt ons? For my Stinger to run 11.2, I have to use E30, almost FBO and an ECU/TCU tune.
These RS3's are rockets
Personally I prefer the hatch, too bad we can't get them. Wish I could afford one at this time...I miss driving an inline 5 turbo.
It kills me that we can’t get any of the sport backs or avants here. Such bullshit
Do you paddle shift on daily driving?
When there’s bumper to bumper traffic I don’t, but most of the time yes I drive in manual mode
If you want the same sounding car for cheaper get a mk5 or mk6 VW Jetta 2.5. Also comes in manual.
They don’t have a turbo though.
i really want one but i live in brooklyn so the s3 is gonna work
Exhaust?
8:15 bro that ain’t a hatchback in Europe, it’s a saloon same way u say sedan, there’s also hatchback versions too
Which exhaust do you have installed?
I have the AWE switchpath
Thank you!
My man holds a camera, talks with his other hand and drives at the same time.
Good content..But just to make it clear DQ250 is a 6 speed and used for tranverse engine and definitely not used on the S4..The B8/B8.5 S4 is a 7 speed uses DL501
Thinking about trading my 22 supra for a 2019 RS3 with ALL the options available.
Idk about RS3 transmission but mine is a monster.What do you say?
Go for it? I might miss the attention I get on my car cause all Audis look exactly the same.
Which year RS3 would you recommend to get and why?
2018 sounds better
Preach about the parts!! My Eventuri 4” stage 3 intake………my Wagner intercooler…….fucking christ!!!
Is the transmission as good as a PDK?
PDK is far more superior DCT and tuned highly better from factory vs DSG or S-Tronic but once its tuned properly then different story..
I stick to my Golf R mk7.5 stage , dsg tune doing slightly quicker to a stock RS 3. Quick enough and cheaper too.
Great video
how do you get your thumbs to go to far back
I’m double jointed🤣
These will prob go up in price now that Audi Canada confirmed there won’t be a 2022 here and waiting for 2023 instead.

Sounds amazing. What year is that model?
It’s a 8V. 2018+
Could you comment on the lack of low end torque, the rattling watergate issue, no power seats and the slightly lower build quality than the S4/S5? I think these are the only fees flaws with the car. I think these are potential areas of concern to be noted about the car. I’m a taller guy and wanted to love the RS3, but a car is more than just an engine and sound alone. Keep working at the content!
Hi Ezra, thanks for the feedback. Due to the single turbo set up, low end torque is there for sure. However that is also one of the things I like about the cad because it feels very different from other cars on the market. I’ve never really faced any waste gate issue especially a tune can fix that! Yes I would say the manual adjustment for the seats is kinda annoying but you learn to live with it, do I wish it has power seats? Yes. But can I without it as well? Yes.
If you want luxury then go for a S4/S5/RS5. RS3 is barely in the luxury department. The manual seats is mainly for weight reduction in the RS3. If you want power seats, go for the RS3 8Y (2022 models). Other than that, I'm 6'1" (186 cm) and I fit the RS3 comfortably. Wastegate rattle can be eliminated through a tune like Oliver mentioned.
Oh jeez, I wonder why a 3 series Audi interior is worse than that of a 4 series trim level? Hmmm
so brakes is the only thing i have to worry about and that's really not a big deal for me lol. thats a pretty solid built car.
Pretty much to be honest!
Wanted the 22 rs3.... I'm impatient so I took the 21 rs5 they had instead.
Solid buy!
literally did the exact same thing lol. had a deposit down, but seen the RS5 in the showroom, and jumped on it. interior quality is miles beyond my 19’ RS3 was. and the 22’ looks like it has even more cheap plastic. super happy with the RS5
also, highly suggest deleting the RS5’s 3 resonators. major sound improvement, especially downshift crackles. only cost me $350 at a muffler shop 👌
@@stealthhtm23 there any drone? I want it to be louder but I like the ability for it to be fairly quiet. For example, if how the stock valves open is the valves closed with the delete then I'll probably get that done this weekend LOL
@@stealthhtm23 Can confirm. The RS5 sounds good when its modded correctly.
Bro, you’ve been gone 7 months now, love your channel but if you’re not doing RS3 content anymore, can I buy your wheels off you? 🙏🏾
M2 competition vs rs3 which one is better?
RS3 is better. However.. M2 CS is the best looking car of all in this class. I would take that M2 CS over the RS3 if given a choice. M340i is a better comparison as it’s b58 motor. All wheel drive option and a 4 door. Pluses in my book.
Rs3 by far the faster car tuned on the street - quite a few videos proving this - you don’t mess with a full frame turbo RS3 unless you are a 1800hp plus GTR or same power twin turbo lambo
What Color is that Audi?
Nardo grey
good car
I am here for content.
I’ve ordered 2022 RS3 in Australia. Due here around June 2022 so it’s next years birthday present to myself. I plan to mod the car to stage 3. Not happy with colour selection so I’ve ordered Kemora Grey and will get it wrapped in Nardo Grey ( no longer available as standard or optional colour)
What do you guys do about the warranty after modding a new car? I have a Meteor (Nardo) Grey 2020 Skoda Octavia RS Wagon I'm keen to get a stage 1 and DSG tune on, but don't want to void the warranty which runs out in Dec 2024. Long time to wait!!!
I don’t believe that a stage 1 ECU and TCU re-tune would void your warranty. In Australia, a dealer / car manufacturer has to prove that a modification has caused the warranty claim. If it didn’t then the warranty on the particular issue would not be affected.
I wish I could afford one
I WANT TO OWN A RS3
please remove the sticker on the drivers window. >.
lol Z06? they do 10.6 on the 1/4 mile. I dont think so. LOL
This is my dream car. I wanna get one but can't afford it. So I won't get it :(
This is a very sad and sobering thought for me.
don’t worry man, just for you I’ll live your dream and own one soon one day
