    The removal of the S3 badge interior and exterior was a bad move. I know they got rid of the interior ones in the last gen, but the old S3/4/5/6/7 logo on the steering wheel, seats and door sills etc looked better than just S - which the normal S Line "A" cars had. The front grille needs it or its just an A3 - and on the rear its not an S3 without the S in the rhombus!
    The rear looks better than before and I know this is the best they can make it sound with all the rules and an OPF so im guessing it can't get any better for a hot hatch in its class with the dynamic upgrades

    Great video mate no nonsense from you when it comes to reviewing the car some people talk shite for ages and just read from the brochure because they don’t actually understand the mechanics of the car, so it’s nice to watch yours knowing you do and without the sort of condescension that comes with some reviews. It actually sounds good too, much improved from the previous gen if you ask me. Hope you enjoyed the time out there, and hopefully they give you more cars to test!

    Awesome to see you get some recognition Hamza 👏Love the hardware and software changes Audi Sport have done to the FL 8Y, though let's be honest they dropped the ball completely with the Pre-FL 8Y S3. The front end styling, boring colour palate, drop in quality inside (compared to the 8V) and that ridiculous gear selector arrangement aside, this is a return to form and Audi Sport is to be commended for that for sure.
