Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! UA-cam's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we get an up close and personal, in depth look at the all new 2015 Audi S3.
MSRP pricing for the S3, before options, begins at:

**A big thanks to AutoNation for helping make this video possible! As a courtesy to them, I would like to make mention that Audi Plano (www.audiplano.com) is in the middle of a substantial expansion to the current facility. Audi Plano has expanded the administrative areas, added 12 new service bays for a total of 26 and their massive glass showroom will be the largest of its kind in all of the United States! I was able to also film a 2015 S8 while I was there, to be featured soon!**
During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features. Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Now this is what a review should be like - thorough, great camera work, a lot of detail without getting stuck on the minutiae - wonderful job! As someone who's waiting (im)patiently for a factory order S3 Prestige, this video helped make the wait more tolerable!
Watching this review in 2022 as I'm looking at getting one of these cars used. Just wanted to give credit for the quality of the video, I could hardly believe the video is 8 years old!
Me right now
I have the exact same car Daytona Grey Package and its an experience this car. I also upgraded the software with Revo Stage 1 software and the car now delivers 375HP. Best car !!
Issam Shalhoub any issues after the tune
I second this, any issues
Finally an Audi again!
***** Don't forget to see the 2015 RS 7 I uploaded last week! :)
***** cant wait for S8 review :)
Can you Review the all-new audi A6 allroad?
Keep up your work
***** can you review the b8 rs4 btw I love your videos =)
Awesome Turtle Gaming He can't unless he travels to Europe lol cause North America doesnt get the B8 RS4.
Real talk before buying any new car Im looking at purchasing I always will first listen to this guys reviews..there are no better reviews on the web than Kyles period..
He helped me purchase my 2014 EVO MR and when its time and save up enough bread I will be purchasing this new Audi S3 due to this amazing and epic in depth review..job well done as always good Sir #Salute #SkyLyfeEnt
You guys are saying the interior is cheap looking when I bet if you sat in it you'd be feeling like a boss. So nit picky
the interior looks not cheap，simplicity shows class, over styling don't
It is cheap looking. I think it's fair to be nit picky when you're paying 40k+ for a car
they are not cheap my brother has this one
@@swiftripper7557 it's based off the A3, which is the cheapest Audi you can get in the US. So of course it's not going to look as premium as an A4/S4 and especially an the A6, S6, A7,,S7 etc.
You would hate the WRX STI then. Might have the worst interior out of the ~$40k car segment.
@@UA-campoiuytre of course.
And yeah, I haven't heard great things about newer Subaru interiors considering the price lol
Look if y'all dont jave time to watch this mans in depth reviews that get off here and go watch fast lane daily lmao.. Y'all need your head examined and need to learn to appreciate perfect reviews like this..Kyle puts hard work into his reviews and it shows..So stop hating and enjoy the videos.. Like I said before I watch only his reviews before making my decision to buy a new ride when droppin 50 grand ..alright thx for reading
I love the simple interior, way better than the 20 trillion button interiors u see these days
You have come so far away from your 2009-2010 videos.You now show us test drives exhaust clips etc....GREAT WORK !!!! 😊
Μιχάλης Ηλιάδης I'm trying my best!! :)
***** In 2010, I was in Grade 3, I've been missing out on a lot of your videos until I got my mom's iPod Touch (3rd Generation) as a hand-me-down.
***** and you are doing great!!!
I just bought a 2018 S3. Love it so far.
@Rob L do you still have the 2018 s3?
I've always driven manual sports cars and sports sedans. This is the first ...non manual and if it's what I have to master to have this car..so be it. I had my last car for 11 years and waited for something like this to come along. It's an amazing car and really an amazing value for what you get. It's probably one of the least expensive cars that gets heads turning and people walking around your car in wonder. :-)
I like the s3 better than s4
looks better on the inside
@@timlabord7361 that's what she said
Sometimes, smaller is better.
The S3 with an automatic gearbox _starts_ at $74,000 here in Finland. Yes, our taxation is killing our economy.
Dave Jubens
I just bought a fully loaded 2018 S3 for $47K.
Congratulations ! Enjoy it
Please sir never change the way you make your videos, they are wonderful
I think it's great that Audi still accesses the good old rev-key!
Thank you for those beautiful pictures. I just bought mine and it takes 4 endless months til` I can pick it up in ingolstadt so I can´t see enough of this.
Great review and it's actually helped me make my mind up re s3 hatch/sportback/saloon.
I was going for the hatch but I've always liked the saloon styling. I wish more car reviews were like this even though it wasn't very "exciting"
reminds me of my b5 s4 ...seems like the most logical upgrade
You are so much better than the average dealer.
The a3 and a4 interior is practically the same size in rear. A4 is like 35.4 rear legroom where the a3 is 35.1. Should change on the upcoming a4 but the a4 just has more trunk space and more room in the engine bay
That´s a beautiful and perfect car! I like the plain dashboard, it looks so nice and valuable and gives you a good feeling, no thousands of buttons over and over, only me and the car.
I was waiting for this car review for a long time i appreciate your hard work
Realy nice aggressive look :) Though it's a shame it only comes with the six-speed automatic. Would be nice to see the 8-speed too.
On these comments how some people complain about the car, and how they think they speak for everyone when they don't like this specific model...give your own opinion of course, but don't speak for everyone.
Could you imagine an RS version of this with Audi's 2.5L 5 Cylinder..? oooooohh
Hello I'm from the future and we have those now
Lmao
So....the rs3?
@@MrEvilTag didn’t exist when i wrote that. check the date.
THANK YOU!!!!! I love that you made this review, I wrote on your discussion a few months ago to do a review of this car when it was gonna be released and you have! Again thanks so much!
In terms of interior design, there is an interior trim package that really ups the sporting factor. It makes the interior look a bit more like a farer and an economy Audi. It's what the car should have been introduced with. As I'm an interior designer, the car is amazing with this tweak.
I drive through that neighborhood every few days. Cool!
@Saabkyle004 good stuff man! I like how thorough and unbiased your reviews are. Definitely unique and very useful for people who are thinking of purchasing. Your reviews feature little details not found anywhere else. Thank you for another great review!
Funny that I found this video. I just bought an identical S3 in Orlando that was originally purchased from that dealer in Plano, TX back in September of 2014. I wonder if it's the same one you used in the review?
Thank you for this in-depth review. The attention to detail in the review was excellent.
I enjoy watching all of your videos Kyle. Keep up the great work!
Seriously thinking of trading my is350 in for this car. Used to have an A4 3.2c which was a great car. The only issue is see is the trunk is too small for my golf clubs unless I put the seats down, then they aren't hidden. Audis drive really well, not as stiff as bmw and not as lose as Mercedes. The S3 is really quick and so much more fun to drive than my IS.
I love the exterior lighting, very nice attention to detail.
It looks like an awesome daily driver. One thing I would have appreciated from Audi is if they made an interior that matched the $41k base price.
Costs over 41-50 grand. Can't get a 6-speed manual in the US. That sucks bad. I would seriously consider this car if it were around 35-36 grand and came with a stick.
35-40 is WRX territory smart one. This thing is better.
NikoBell12 No, 25 to 30 grand is WRX territory. This car doesn't come with a manual transmission in the US. It's automatically out of consideration for quite a few people because of that.
hartsickdisciple Blame VW, they're always excluding a bunch of fun options/cars. But even though this thing doesn't come with a manual, or the beloved hatchback, for the US, it's still a great car. BTW the WRX STi is around $35 grand. This thing being that cheap would probably ruin WRX sales.
NikoBell12 I know that the WRX STI is roughly 35 grand. I said WRX.
hartsickdisciple
Yeah I brought up WRX. I meant WRX STi.
m235i kicks this cars ass inside and out, if you can live with a coupe overlook the s3. i drove these back to back and the m235i felt like a real drivers car with some incredible power and steering feel.
True Happiness is when u see a New Saabkyle04 Video uploaded! LOL
Again a nice review about a nice car. Because I am a Audi Fan it is nice that you have done a second review on a Audi in such a short time.
So know there is just the big question an S3 or a RS7 ;-)
I like the simple design of the dashboard.
Wicked, you where in my neck of the woods! I didn't know until a subscriber told me. And then I noticed I did not even subscribe to you yet even though I have seen quite a few reviews you have done. Failsauce... and rectified.
That was a nice car! I hope I can get my mitts on a German sports saloon for a review one day.
Your voice is like the male version of SIRI..
Great review, covered almost everything i wanted to know.
The car looks great and has a lovely sound
Great work Kyle. Love your videos! I noticed you don't have a review for the Audi Q5 yet. That or the SQ5 would be a great video to look forward to. Keep up the great work!
Holy moly the seats are beautiful!!
Another top notch review. Thanks Kyle!
An excellently done video as always, ***** ! I'm really glad to see Audi finally made the A3 in a sedan because I felt like the A3 severely limited it's market by being hatch-style only. My positives for it are the luxury, the looks, and the interior. The only downsides I see/hear is the exhaust note doesn't sound all that good in my opinion, and Audi has withheld the manual option from us American buyers. Again, a job well done on the review Kyle.
Good video Kyle! I'm hoping to get one of these in about 5 years when it's in my price range. Keep making these great videos!
i did just that traded in my A4 today for 2015 daytona s3
Great profesional review!
N-SPEC .Racing Thanks so much!!
***** You are welcome, keep these videos coming. Hopefully you get your hands on the brand new c63 amg.
love the choice of color in this car very good taste!
I’ve got exclusive Java Green Sportback seems great so far, 5 years too late though! but still a great car 👍
I honestly am looking in to getting one of these probably in the next year or two. There are a few things that are bothering me about this car but I'll get over them. I wouldn't mind doing the full APR treatment on it though ;)
Great video! Loving your work and the car. I think it looks great in that colour and spec. Quality interior as we are used to with Audi. I just wish it had a bit more legroom and headroom.
another nice video but would prefer the commentary to sync with the footage. for example while you were discussing the design of the front we were actually looking at shots of the rear :)
Nice review! Maybe an SQ5 soon?
Kyle can you feature the 2014 Audi R8 in one of your videos, anyway great review Kyle keep up the great work.
My friend just got an Audi RS5 I'm so jelly :3
cant wait to see a review of the 2015 charger...make sure to get the R/T too not just the Hellcat
Hey Kyle I love these videos man keep it up!!
There's a under 10 club? That'so the next thing I need to accomplish on my bucket list.
Nice review. True fan of your work. How about the 2015 Cadillac Escalade (ESV)?
Great review. Very solid and thorough.
Another great video as always
very sleek entry level performance sedan
this car sounds like my friend's 2012 GTI lol. he has a magna flow exhaust and they sound so similar.
Nice detailed review. Thank you. Cheers from Canada.
This car is a stunner though
Love the ergonomics of the interior. Driver focused. No swooping annoying bmw Mercedes garish crap. Simplistic and modern. Buttons where you want them.
You must be 78yrs old is you think this interior is anything other than cheap.
NICE 2015 Audi S3 2.0T Quattro Start Up, Test Drive, and In Depth Review
Plz do a video on the new 2015 cadillac escalade I find you videos very nice for people who are looking to buy a car and I want to buy a escalade but I just don't know yet so can you please do a video on it...
My dream car!! But would like it in a color white.
SAME, white or silver with black wheels.
What a car !
I would love to see u make a vid on the 2015 Chevy Colorado when it comes out!
Can u do a video of a 1998 Audi A8 2.4 Quattro? My dad just got this car and it's nice but I would love to see a video of you doing it and telling some specs and stuff about it😊 thx
Plano? That's like 20 minutes away from me, do a meet and greet, Kyle! :)
Jordan Munoz I was only there for 3 days, it was a really busy 3 days :) Would have liked to do that, hopefully some day!
hey kyle! any chance you'll be able to get a review on the Lamborghini Huracan?? ill be waiting for that for sure
Great video man! Hey maybe next time could you try and do a pagani from that dealership where you filmed the koenigisegg? (excuse spelling) if not then thats fine! Just a thought :)
Another great vid! Keep it up.
Great video like always. Having a bit of a dilemma when it comes to picking the s3 or the VW R. I mean the the same car just 10k the difference . What's your take,pick.
Yay another Audi!
I find these better looking than the A4, S4, A6 and S6, of coarse the A7 and S7 are much nicer but I love the proportions of the A3.
Very thorough review!
My 2009 a3 is in the shop and they gave me a fully loaded 2015 a3 2.0t quattro as a loaner. I love this car but I wish it had a v6.
Chevon Bailey
would you recommend an audi, based on your experience?
R Rob Lease yes buy no
However, that's the thing. I'm from the Caribbean. We hardly lease here. Plus, I'd like to get an s3 long term. What were you concerns?
R Rob I had lots of problems with my audi, everything from Windows constantly getting stuck, taillights going out when ever they want to, saggy headliner, tpms randomly failing...too many problems to list. if u want a reliable luxury car get a lexus.
Ok fair enough. Are alot of people you know getting issues with their audis? Oddly enough, I was looking at lexus initially but then I started looking at audis. What do you drive currently?
I think this is a good looking car
So for cd users, you need a passenger to put in cd music in the glove box. How inconvenient for both the driver and passenger. Otherwise, driver has to reach or stretch themselves to load CDs in glove box. Talk about one step better than the 1990s cars that had cd changers in the trunk bc audi couldn't figure a cd storage in traditional center. Also, how do you know when the car is warmed up since there's no temp gauge rather a boost gauge?
It's the car for me!!!
You should make a video of the A3 convertible
I wonder if there will be more powerful audi rs3 coming to America anytime soon
I swear my 2015 s3 Quattro is a good daily no problems
What an amazing car , it looks like it buries our GTI .
Like you driving the car´s
Thank you
hey kyle, can you do the BMW i8? I've only seen it once and it looks really interesting, I saw your review of the i3 and i really loved it
Can you make a review of the BMW i8? Would love to know how a 3 cylinder engine can produce 357 hp.
Good review. But you are talking too much at the middle of videos. And you doesn't got Audi videos. You should review LCI A4, LCI A5, and LC A8.Totally you are the best in this job.
Muy lindo auto! Muy buena tu review! saludos desde Argentina
Wish there was a coup version of this
There's one but in hatchback mode unfortunately.
Pillerless ;)
Hi are you going to make a video About the new Cadillac Escalade I hope you do... Thanks
Interesting, I drove that same exact car a few weeks ago... I ordered one from that exact dealer a while back(different options). anyways good review
Please review the 2015 Subaru WRX STI
And it would be really cool if you could make a monologue or what ever it's called of the Mitsubishi evo since its going to disappear :)
That startup chime is enough to drive you crazy itself. Ugh!
Sounds awesome.
Would you be able to do a review on the bmw m4? Thanks Saab great vid!
