Congrats man. Followed you for a while now. I made the switch from a 7.5 R to a MK3 TTRS. Once you start modifying yours, you’ll completely forget about the R in all the right ways. The sound alone makes it 1000x better! Ive had mine for almost 2 years now running Stage 2 Uniflex and it’s a riot! Looking forward to all your future vids
My guy, you made the right choice. That screaming 5pot is AMAZING! Though if you do plan on modding/tuning it. Be careful with the DAZA. They're known to be a bit fragile. But man, I'm HIGH KEY jealous of this.... lol
I too went from a golf r to an rs3. got it back in july last year. the power difference at stage 2 e85 is crazy. I think im gonna go full from in about a year or so. I dont ever plan on selling it, even though i did prefer the hatch. congrats on the upgrade!
Congrats, on the s3. Sad to see the golf r. I found your channel after I bought mine about a month after yours. Same color and same year. So you convinced me on a couple mods like the remus exhaust and intakes. But good looking forward on the new car.
I had a GTI before and was convinced I'd always have a hatch of some sort but after owning an S3 for a few months now, I'm really loving the sedan look and compared to the VW counterparts its just feels like a more elevated experience. Only thing I regret is not going for the RS3 but it wasn't in my budget range. I'm also curious what you go with suspension wise since I've been thinking of throwing springs on my car but I'm terrified it'll make driving around the Boston area terrible.
Looks wise the MK8 is meh. But the 8Y RS3 looks amazing. Also, the 8R/8Y have the new Magna diff. Which is LEAPS above the garbage Haldex the older models had. Both the 8R/8Y will run laps around their older counterparts with ease.
@@Peylix you just sound goofy. You are brokie that watches toomany car reviews HAHAHA. They are both Supercars numnutz. Also your taste is garbage if you think 8Y looks good LOL
Nice car... but why sedan after having hatches for so long? Again, nice car, congrats, for sure. Having said that, in my opinion GTI's and R's are so much nicer looking. Then again, I am not a sedan guy, regardless of the make/model, and I'm a total GTI/R enthusiast. I think you're going to miss your R, but then again, maybe not! 😛 Seriously, not trying to rain on your parade or your excitement. I am such a GTI/R fanboy I personally would not have done the switch, but you being happy with your choice is all that matters... it is YOUR CHOICE, after all. And seriously, nice car! I'm just such an "Anti-sedan guy"... It's the only reason I said anything on the negative side to begin with. It's not the new car... it's the style of car as my reason for a bit of disappointment. And, it's not a GTI or R! 😛 I originally tuned in because of my love for GTI's, and I appreciate the time checking in on your VW adventures. Good luck, enjoy your choice, and best wishes! 👍
@@NewEnglandPetelook up Jordan beau, when he dated a famous girl he was getting a million+ views and he had a mk7 R on his channel for content, now that she’s gone his channel is dead 🫨
I'm hearing a lot about what you wanna do for the viewers, and channel. I suggest doing what makes YOU happy. Nonetheless, I look forward to the updates!
You are going to hsve sink some cash into this car. I walked away from this exact same car and model year last summer. Loved the car TBH. Handled so well around corners and what I did notice was the car came with extra paint protection which was good. It was fast yes but while I loved the exterior it disappointed me with its performance stock. I felt it was a lot more laggy than my stage 2 R. It didn't launch as fast as my R but I know Audi addressed that on the curent RS3 gen. One thing I did notice was that the RS3 captured a lot wind when on the freeway but that was only from a 1 hour test drive so could have been a one-off. Overall as soon you drop even a stag 1 tune this car will wake up.
Thanks for the feedback. This car is going to follow the same model as my other car. Fully sponsored. Very fortunate for the opportunity as the cost of parts are quite high for this platform.
Oh and probably wasn't ready to part with the R last year cause I had spent 7K on it and wanted to enjoy the fruits of my passion. Buy if I decide to sell her she'll be sold as is tuned. Most installs I can't do myself and don't have the time so whomever buys this car is getting a pocket rocket!! Lol
Nice ride dude 🔥 Funny that you announce this car right as Charles from HumbleMechanic started doing a DAZA swap on a Golf R 😁 Looking forward to all the content.
@@thatblackscala2912 I am from Europe so I was thinking about European market. I totally forgot that he is from the USA. You are right, they don't have rs3 hatch over there but I am not sure about the m140.
Wicked!!! Solid choice! The ONLY thing I could say for the cons is that she’s older than your previous R and already 6.5 years old… but Less than 20k miles…But man! I would have gone with the same option you will have a blast! Do you plan to tune the RS3?!

thats not a S3 Lol. Its a Super car ... Rs 3
I am waiting on an allocation for a 2024 RS3 here in Maine. So hard to find.
Congrats on the new upgraded whip! My brother has always wanted a rs3. I just bought my catless Downpipe today and can’t wait to tune my golf r.

Funny, I started watching your channel when I had a golf r, then bought an rs3 and didn’t really see you videos pop up on my feed until now lol.
I did the exact same thing a year ago. Wait until you go stage 2 in the RS3
Congrats bro!! I figured this was next, excited to see the build.
Congratulations man! Massive upgrade xx
Great upgrade! Not a fan of mk8 Golf R and new gen RS3 so you are basically upgrading from peak golf to peak rs3 lol.
Same!
Looks wise the MK8 is meh. But the 8Y RS3 looks amazing.
Also, the 8R/8Y have the new Magna diff. Which is LEAPS above the garbage Haldex the older models had. Both the 8R/8Y will run laps around their older counterparts with ease.

congrats! def a dream car for me. Only way im coming out of the GTI is for the RS3
Wow ,epic car,absolutely love the rs3
Awesome car man the RS3 is so nice
congrats pete, love the ara blue
How much are you selling it for ?
ayo congrats ! Im literally doing the same thing rn . My stage 2 golf r got totalled tho by some old lady :/ . Nice find its so mint
Most huge VW fans go Audi as their next car, so for me, this was an easy guess without watching any other vids of yours in recent past days.
Good luck Pete.
how much for the R?
Hell yeah congrats!
Good choice
Yessir RS3 Brothers

Yellow brake calipers maybe??👀
Not too shabby!
Now get a shawty passenger on the channel, been 4 years.
I don’t publicize my relationships or really anything about my personal life. 🤠

I don’t need to clout chase either. My content will always remain organic to me and my interests.
Can I have your Golf R?
Ugh not a fan of the styling but enjoy 😊
Square comment.
@@NewEnglandPete what does that mean?
Nice car man, I also sold my gti for a ttrs! I’m sure you will see it at the shows coming up shortly since there are very few in New England!
Congrats homie! Nice upgrade 💪
Congrats Pete! Well deserved feels like yesterday you revealed the R!
much appreciated Reece!
Yesssss! Perfect choice man! Welcome the DAZA gang Pete!
I'm hearing a lot about what you wanna do for the viewers, and channel. I suggest doing what makes YOU happy.
Nonetheless, I look forward to the updates!
The most logical choise, I am chasing one to... congrats!
We all new rs3 was gonna happen ❤❤❤
Very Awesome! Congratulations
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I got a s3 and want a rs3

It was all part of my elaborate plan. (I’m joking, I bought this thing a little bit ago, it just took weeks to get here)
@@NewEnglandPete Enjoy the ride. Car looks beautiful ❤️
I was about to unsubscribe 😂 such a great choice tho! Wish the R came with the Rs3 motor
Lol. Thanks
I’ve had my R for about a year and I think about making this switch every day also shout out New England.
Just got my golf 2 months ago and I’m already contemplating getting an rs3 lmao. Congrats man!
Big upgrade
Hell yeah.. excellent choice
I expected an rs3 hatch or m140i. Good choice, rs3 is an amazing car. Enjoy your new ride mate!
I don’t think US got neither rs3 hatch or m140

How much did that run you?
More than I wanted to pay. Worth it though!
Glad you got one, I am in the same boat I really wanna sell my 7.5 R for one.@@NewEnglandPete
