    A Bronco Wildtrack is a POS and costs the same as this car. This car looks amazing, has an amazing engine and overall powertrain and chassis. It also has solid build quality and overall solid interior design and materials. I would say it is worth the money no question.

    This engine is definitely going to be missed if it's going to be replaced by electrification over the next few years. This 2.5L 5 cylinder is what makes the RS 3 as amazing as it is. No other Audi has this engine, after the discontinuation of the TT RS, unless you're counting the RS Q3 that is only in Europe. Just the sound and brutality this engine has, along with that quick shifting 7-speed dual clutch transmission is just pure heaven.

      Doesn’t the VW Rabbit have a 5 cylinder?

      I get the ICE will be missed but at 3.9sec 0-60, that's nothing vs what Teslas are capable of easily.

    Having owned A4/S4’s in the past I would prefer the size of the RS3. The newer A4’s are big as A6’s now. Audi still knocking it outta the park with their ICE vehicles but man what’s up with the looks of their electric cars!?!

    Find somewhere where you can get on the throttle more than 1 second, takes the fun out of the video. No sane person pays over MSRP

    Tyre and wheel setup is not 235/35 front or rear...
    They are:
    265/30 R19 tyres at the front and
    245/35 R19 tyres at the rear

    Very beautiful car. The RS3 is my dream car. I have a VW GLI 2023 and I can see some similarities but in the end the RS3 is so much different; definitely more power and luxury.

    • @MrjavoiThe
      @MrjavoiThe 11 місяців тому

      You can't even compare the GLI to an S3, but the GLI it's such a great car still.

      Window switches, gas and brake pedal, some of the seat buttons, etc. They almost look the same. Just trivial things, not the real important stuff. Well VW and Audi are related, just like Chevy and GMC trucks. 🙂@@MrjavoiThe

    A Toyota landcruiser is the same price, seats 7 people, enough power, fuel economy is great. Insurance is low and will last a life time. Yes I will still take the RS3 and it is worth the price tag.

    Huge part of getting one has been the war in Ukraine. Since that is where Audi is having their wiring harnesses built. Hopefully they’ve got thst straightened out

    The 2023 only real difference is the availability of the Red Special interior VS the Green available in the 2022.
