Never intended to do a video on the old RS3 8P but was pleasantly surprised! Glad I tried it out otherwise I would have carried on believing it was boring to drive, trust me its far from it!
Let me know what you think in the comment section below!
Thanks

Turns out there was some more suspension mods done to this car, hence why it handed better than stock. Was told after I did the review!
TR Hamza Golf R mk6 next!
Hey Dude, which camera do you use? Keep up the good work. greetings from Germany ✌
8V is superior though with the dynamic pack??
+Eric Jessop 8V is much superior yes
No soft limiter ❤
The sound of a 5-cylinder engine is so so good.
2 years late but still a big fan of the rs3 8p...still on my little stage 2r fiesta st at 36 years old but this hopefully will be the next brief! Top videos as always bud
I think these facelift 8p are a nicer shape than the 8v in my opinion especially the front end
Agreed. The 2nd gen 8P A3/S3 are the pinnacle, also made from better quality materials.
yup just bought one XD
agree
I agree from french🇨🇵
Whatever you smoked 3 years ago, I need that shit.
I just wonder what ever happen to these older cars as time goes on... It's like they're slowly being extinct as I remember these were the cars of choice for the Birmingham/Bradford gangsters couple years ago. I didn't think Audi could top this one, but they have surprisingly. Vw scirocco R review next? Amazing video as always bro! Stay safe..
The amount of times u put those windows down we know now how it sounds and the window motors are reliable thanks to u good review cuzzy respect
Nice car & nice review. Love the exterior styling of the RS3, also love those recaro's. Lowered & with the uprated exhaust, this car's a beast!
Awesome car, One of my all time favourites, I really enjoyed the video TR, great job
I love the content man Audis are my favorite you just gained a sub 💯🔥
since i was 17 i feel in love with these i will get one soon 💯💪
That 5 pot engine sounds awesome! Good videos bro- better than TV!
I’m thinking of buying one. It’s nice to see a review like 👍🏾
Enjoyed the flybys and different outside shots, not enough reviews have these in the videos
More pov videos please. I remember commenting on the cupra 290 pov video you did saying it was one of your best videos to date 😎
If I am not wrong, the RS3 8P was a limited production run of about 3500units globally and I am one of the fortunate ones to have owned one since 2012. For the past 5 years it remains basically stock except for MTM Stage 1 (400bhp and 550NM) tuned and center cat removal! And downgraded to 18x8.0 BBS RI- forged rims. The ride comforts and steering improves tremendously for the 18", and consumption getting constant 450-480km for a full rank with 50% highway and 20% of the time getting full throttle (to listen to the exhaust note). Does it understeer? Yes it does and badly if you track it and get too aggressively over the apex. But with a set of Ohlins Coilovers recently fitted, the understeer is as good as gone and yet ride comfort remains. But will it out handle a BMW 1 or 2 series? No it will never be, but on a straight line it will outrun （tested a few times with a M135 stage 1 with exhaust). It will also give some Porsches a big scare too. I had tested the new RS3 8V sedan for one day. Is it worth the upgrade? Yes if you like the new interior and more aggressive frontal look. But I will not, as I find this 8P (stage 1 tuned) can be as fast and as fun as the new 8V. There are times where I am itching to change, but I just can't find a good replacement or sleeper car with this power, giving this consumption, this practically of a 5door hatch, and ultimately this excellent soundtrack of the 5 cylinder. I am waiting to see if the new RS4 will be a good replacement.
I have a stage 2 tuned regular A3 8P (2009) and I fucking love it. The practicality of the hatchback is why I haven't replaced it, I also love the look of this generation of A3. The only A3 hatchback they sell in the states now is an electric model... so I rarely see my car on the road which adds to the appeal. Enjoy your RS3 man I hope you keep it.
I have seen a lot of these cars in my country, mostly they're two owner cars, so if I buy one I would be a third owner with a car that has less than 70 000kms. Why are people not holding on to them since they're limited.
@@hosiamokale7549 they don't have an actual number on them to say which of the limited number they are! But believe me the 8p rs3 is the rare rs3
What an engine, that 5 cylinder, amazing sound. Also great build quality, you do not need to race in it, people know you are in a quick car, it has 4wd, it is almost the perfect car, 2010,2011, etc etc. Not having the twin exhaust at the back would not bother me in the slightest either.
Awesome car!!!!Greetings from Greece!!
Best ever Rs3 made !!!
That 5 cylinder is pure music
BTW try getting your hands on a Clubsport, many journalists prefer it to the R. I'm torn between both so would be nice to see your opinion as well, keep up the good work :)
Damn Hamza loving the new angles 👊🏼. (Nearly 14K subs BTW)
Thank you bro 👊🏼 And yeah its awesome man still growing!
Totally agree with the seats comments. I had the same recaro buckets seats (as shown in the video) in my 07 S3 8P, and they were excellent. I now have the Super Sport seats in my 16 S3 8V, and they are shocking. Seat base too flat, not enough bolstering for cornering, and very uncomfortable on long journeys.
Top video bruv! And judging by that steering wheel and the mileage looks like someone’s been clocking it back haha!
Great vid 👍 can't beat the 5 pot sound !
Thanks mate, and yeah definitely, such a distinctive sound! 👍🏼
You should add a proper 3-5 minute POV driving of the car in the city as well as the country roads!
You know whats crazy i have the same shirt and i seen you a few days ago was just to shy to come up to you lol. Take care my G.
Haha should have just come up bro I don't mind 👍🏼
This thing sounds beautiful !!!! Want one 😎
The upgraded seats on them are a must have!
Another great video bro
Thank you bro
Sounds and looks awesome.
People need to start clicking that sub button more cos you my friend, you are a great reviewer.... Always top content 👌
Thank you, love the support 🙌🏽 And yeah Ive noticed my views to sub count ratio is pretty disproportionate haha, ill get there soon enough i guess!
Charlotte Kerr 😚
I’d absolutely love one of these iv got a mk5 gti KO4 366bhp but sounds nothing like the RS3 😍
nice vid mate! 😀 waiting for more 👌
Thanks mate :) Ill try crank em out a bit faster this time haha
I personally prefer this over the 8v. I think it has a lot more presence
Top review as always!! The seats in the 8P RS3 are the best Audi ever did!
Love your reviews my friend. Im planning to buy an rs3 2012 vs 2014 s3. Which one do you recommend.
Future classic
I love this car... the 5 cilynder engine sound. 🤤
Ive got an S3 8p APR stage 2+ which i love so much. I would have bought an RS3 8p but they never came out to Australia. Big disappointment :( Great vid also. Keep it up.
Its a lovey looking car and sounds lovely
Indeed, sounds fantastic
5 cyl is a legendary Audi enigine but VR6+Turbo is a demon form nightmares whos nobody can stop it.
You should review suly hayats rs3
Absolute legend for doing this video Hamza, I’ve always been think about this 2012 RS3 because they are a lot more cheaper than the new RS3. And I though well if it’s that much cheaper than clearly it mustn’t be very good, but...
Wow this RS3 with that milltek exhaust system is unbelievable, sounds great! Really good review Hamza cheers bro keep em rolling 👍👍
The new Audi RS3 AND RS4 avant wagons are pretty gorgeous cars considering what cars look like today.
Hello there. Nice channel I must say. I found you yday :). I was in search for audi rs3 8p. Can you recommend that car as worth of money. I had s4 b5 audi now I am in search for something newer and stronger. I am in love with 2.7biturbo engine but this new 5cyl from audi is really amazing. Rs4 B5 vs Rs3 8P hmm
bud you must get a Mk2 focus rs and do a test would love to hear your thoughts especially a modified one
Thumbs up as usual. Close friend of mine has one of these, my FL S3 is actually slightly quicker in a striaght line but like you say his car sounds a lot better. Really like the 8P RS3 , in fact prefer it to the 8V tbh especially that front end they didn't mess around with the flared arching and big vents.
is the engine in this RS3 same as the newer models from 2015 and above, i just wanted to know if Audi done any different mods in or changes to the engine.
thanks
Really struggling to choose between one of these and a Mk7 golf r. That’s why I’m watching this at 4.45am.
bro can i ask u a question where did u learn how to drive like that u need ta teach me man 👌
Haven't even watched bro Ik it's gonna be a good video. And bro you see them everywhere in Bradford it's like they giving them out for free.
PS: That minion is having the time of his life.
Thank you bro 👍🏼 And Ive heard they're proper common up north, new and old. Its like the car of choice haha
Every street has a new RS3
Are they fuck common in Bradford haha. The 8P S3 yeah, I haven't seen an 8P RS3 around since I went to BFD college 2 years ago. Don't be fooled by the lads selling 10 bags in their TDI replicas, a lot of them are diesel engines with RS3 bodykits driving about
TR Hamza yea bro all the BFD shotttas have them
Rs3 the baddest hatchback thats why theres loads in bradford bradford got all the top cars
Seen this around twice today.... Not bad for the age.
Think I saw it too lol
Wish they had this in the U.S.
You need more subscribers! One of the best UA-camrs always put out quality footage. None of this patreon rubbish or buy a shirt and get free sticker ramble.
Am mainly amazed how it only has 20k on the clock when this was recorded must of been 6 years old or around that
hey I got the Audi A3 s-line sportback 2010 but I want the rs3 look do you know of that is possible ?
This is my favorite RS3, its almost like a sleeper, you don't hear it and see it first, you notice it when its kicking you @ss
how it is lowered? Only springs or lowering suspension?
good solid fast car will be worth good money if looked after.
mohammed bostan second hand they go for a steal
doubt you can buy 1
CarPassion *wouldnt buy one. Don’t see them on the roads so repairs must be a nightmare. I would buy a golf r though
@@AR-fw5bn were limited numbers in the UK that's why you don't see them often
Which think is better between this generation rs3 8p and Golf r 7-7.5
I don't think it's too far off from the stock exhaust is it?
Get the 400 bhp with Iroz Downpipe sounds much , much better !!!!
The new audi rs3 sedan is a car that needs to be on this channel.
Indeed it does, soon.
TR Hamza inshallah it will, and by the way your videos are very informative and great to watch. Keep up the hard work.
Still such a good looking car, will trade my tts in for one when it's time is up.
TTS a nice looker too tho!
Which Miltek exhaust is it? the resonated or non resonated? :)
Does it have stock exhaust?
Good review👍🏻Would you rather have a RS3 8P or a Mk7 Golf R?
Thanks man 👍🏼 It would be the MK7 R for me, a better car in all areas, apart from sound
TR Hamza I’ve been offered a nice 8P rs3 for £16k and I’m tempted. I know the golf r makes more sense though.
Would u buy audi rs3 2011/2012
Or focus rs mk2 ??
Lol. Count the "obviouslys" 👍🏼
+rory macpherson Haha I was considering putting in a counter myself when I listened back in the edit 😂
TR Hamza lol. Fair play. Hey. Banter bro. Your vids are cool. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
RS3 8P or Golf R MK7 or S3 8V... roughly same price but which would you rather have for country roads.
I got a rs3 8p I think it's the best of the 3 but then again the golf r and s3 8v are also really good cars
Should have drag raced it against the s3 and see how they differ.
Find me a place to do that legally on camera :)
S3 wouldn't stand a chance
@@robbiemarshall1481 depends what s3 it is you Muppet mine is pushing 400 bhp
@@mondeano2602 I didn't know S3 come standard with 400 bhp, standard v standard S3 not a chance! 400 v 400 S3 not a chance, even 400 bhp s3 Vs standard rs3 would be pretty close
Is it me or should this car not have so much gearstick/steering wheel wear at 20554 miles? Either faulty or clocked but nice review
Chris Lewis
Yip, looks more like 120 k
Ep3 type r next please
Not anytime soon, got other cars to do first
What a différence between rs3 8P and rs3 8v ?
I got a gti that you should feature
For a stock vehicle, there is nothing in its class that is superior.. I live in Southern California.. We have millions of sports cars, from Subaru STI, Evo's.. Golf R's. And many more.. The Audi RS3 has the complete package.. And can actually compete with a Porsche 911 GTS.. Interior, exterior, exhaust, suspension, and that fucking engine is amazing.. And its not so much HP. but that torque that digs off the line, coupled with AUDI's Quattro .. Sorry VW fans, .. You'll have to sit this out.. Grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show..
Steven Dhanjal You should see my yellow Leon 1m much better looking than this car.Of course a lot of tuning.
M135i lol
Steven Dhanjal Pass the meth pipe bro. Competing with the 911 GTS, the fuck outta here. It‘s an understeering hog
@@PilotSuperSport have u driven one?
Hey buddy you know the percent of those tints.
Audi S4 B5 or Audi rs4 B5 please!
Does the 2012 rs3 come with hill assist
I'd like to see the Mk7 golf gti clubsport see what the difference is between that and the golf R
Yeah Ive had this on comparison on my mind too, just can't find a clubsport to film!
Seen this car around Birmingham lately the owner drives like he's stolen it. Absolutely bombing it on 20mph roads. Not wise.
shotta287 wouldn't you if you owned it or would you drive like a nanny
Ah hate people like that. Yes a car like this is designed to be pushed as it has the power but there's a place and time for that. I just think people who are fortunate to afford a car like this but drive it dangerously / have no care for other road users are ungrateful
@@zaink7037 I don't push mine to be honest.
@@incognito96 you should once in a while. Obviously not around other road users or built up areas where a child could run across the road 👍.
@@zaink7037 to be honest when I'm on my own down a country lane the car makes sense other than that I will be pottering along. I have done 1 launch in 3 months . But the car is a weapon.
the front wheel is missing its' centre hub cap, better let the owner know!
Im sure he knows 👍🏼
I like and dislike the subtleness of this car at the same time..especially the exhaust. But this model A3 is much more complete than the 8V
Or a gtr if you can
There is no way this is only 20k miles. The steering wheel looks like 120k Miles!
I personally think this version of the rs3 stock vs stock sounds better than the new one. the new one has too many pops and bangs.
Yeah I can understand where you're coming from, but with new one you can always get one without sports exhaust if you want it to be quieter.
i like the loudness of it. Its just imo the mk1 sounds better and has less pops and bangs. Im still undecided what car sounds best with this engine. I mean for example I think it sounds better in the focus ST than in the RS, like the one in this video i think sounds really good ua-cam.com/video/fUvpFT9og6k/v-deo.html . Also sounds pretty good on volvos aswell.
I already thought it was good
Where can u get one of these good condition nowadays ?
U can get a good one....u just have to shop around....prob best get one with no mods. I was able to get a 12 plate 55 thou on clock 2 owners no mods, full audi history..
RS3 8P > RS3 8V
I think it looks a lot meaner
My S3 8P I thought was decent at handling in standard form until I got my s3 8V facelift and lowered it now I realise it was a poor handling chassis. rs3 ? I can’t say
+rayner1704 8V is definitely on a different league,
1 day should review a golf 5 r32
I may do a MK4 soon
TR Hamza cant wait 😀 we never got those in south Africa
Good video Bro
Drive a gtr
Thank you bro, and yeah maybe in the future
So, weirdly just seen this car for sale and looking at videos. This car was written off 2 weeks after this video went live. Any contact with the owner to know what happened/damaged?
No idea on what happened mate
TR Hamza damn, shame. As it's a nice spec!
Yeah, but those seats are the most uncomfortable. Thats why most people like the normal RS3 seats you can also get in them. Way more comfy and still holds you in.
Disagree them seats are the ones , that's why a pair set you back £1800
I want to drive rs3 in white
Your mic bro
What mpg
You should get Aaoon’s RS3 on your vlogs
That would be cool!
He sold it I'm sure!?
Robbie Marshall no, it’s for sale, but he hasn’t sold it yet
Adil Aww okay in an audi group chat with him but I don't pay much attention haha
DSG bang is a gimmick. Try 8P S3 manual with stage 2. Nothing beats a manual.
Nothing beats a sweet dsg bang
No engine shots well that SUCK ☹️
