The RS 3's incredible 0-60 time was recorded with VBOX data logging equipment. If you want to be the first to know the rest of the figures - and plenty more besides - you should hit that subscribe button to see an epic hot hatch drag race coming soon!
Yeah the music too loud..his voice is too silent and when he talks down to make a remark i cant hear him.. the audio quality is not up to the par on most videos.. otherwise great review
If you can only have/afford/want one car, let be realistic, the RS3 is the one. Do you think you would take that Mercedes to a funeral with that rear wing? What do you think non-car people/colleagues might think, probably that your a bit childish with those spoilers. The RS3 is such an awesome car, fast, practical, looks awesome, sound is amazing, no problem if you want to do long distances, safe.. It's pretty close to perfect.
Did not know the rear wing on the Merc is an 'aero package' option, my apologies, but I think it looks horrible. Other than that I do like the car (and colour), but I still prefer the Audi.
Thats because they dont want you to hear him lol = complete idiot. I would love to know what he really drives as an everyday car - would explain allot of his attitude.
The New Audi RS3 is the best hot hatch ever. Mind-blowing performance, great driving comfort, loads of kit and options to choose from. Whats not to like?
@@realtalk7571 Chill dude. The price is high but appropriate, how many cars are out there with a starting price of 55.000$ that do 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and run 10s in the ¼ mile? Usually you'd have to pay 20-30k more to get this kind of figures, plus the RS3 is also outstanding for every day use.
So the A45 is more like a race car, better steering feel, more grip and control but you still say the Rs3 is better haha! Good job i drove these back to back and bought a new A45 as the Rs3 felt like a shopping trolley
I’ve driven a few very fast Audi’s. Yes they were quick in a straight line but felt clinical, numb and detached. Honestly once you’ve driven fast M cars Audi’s do feel dull. I own an Audi Q5 3.0 Quattro so I’m not hating on the brand!
thankx for the reviews matt, i just have an issue when your speaking with a lower ton or quietly i just can't hear you, if you could fix that, thank you gain :)
Considering these two lovely cars the problem in some countries could be additional / bigger tax regarding engine size (like in Poland for engines 2.0 and bigger). So if you check starting prices - the RS3 is 14 750 GBP more expensive than A45. Then I think its no brainier.
The all new A45 is expected to have over 400 bhp and an all new engine, and if the improvement is the same as the W213 E63 from the W212, it will give the RS3 a hard time.
Im a mercedes fanboy but have to take the RS absolutely... the best hatch by far even better than m2. Looks perfect and 400hp is nuts. Speaking of a45 its 6 year old design and not interested.
It is more practical than m2 but thats about it. Maybe the design is on par too but these 2 cars are way too different to compare. M2 is just more of a sport car.
Well its not really 65k, its more like 55k for most builds. That's still expensive for sure. But it does have the performance, special engine, dynamics and interior to match. So its really only the stigma of being a hatch that's the issue
Seriously though you should ditch the sound guy. Sometimes your voice is muffled, sometimes there's a shitty music for food recipe channels louder than your voice and sometimes you're screaming in our ears even though you're far from camera.
Am I the only who's really bothered by the fact that Matt is always looking just off camera at a script? Not a big deal but it's one of those things you can't unsee
For car's lover Audi and Mercedes two great brands RS3 and A45 are the best compact car in Europe no one can ignore this and i don't want to compare those cars cause they are similar and beautiful !
john jackson like he said^ one is a ford, and one is a premium hatchback. One has a boring engine, while the other has an exotic 5 cylinder with character. One does a 3.7 second 0-62 while the other needs 5 seconds to do that. One has a proper interior and tech for 2017. The other does not. Need more?
The one in the video is over £30k more. Of course the RS3 is better than a focus RS but not THAT much better. At 60 grand like the car in this video you are not that far off GTR money.

Hi Matt, can you please review the Suzuki Baleno Vs Hyundai I20. Petrol Variant.
carwow why didn’t you review the Saloon variant? Sportback is boring now lol
you need to run in both directions to get a valid 0 to 60 time. Not enough to just say you used a VBOX
you tart :D cant you just be satisfied ahhaha
carwow as always riding German nuts
That music in the background while ur talking drives me nuts!!
Az786 haha, see what you did there. 'drives'.
Az786 Yep. It's incredibly annoying and way too loud. It seems they never learn to properly edit sound.
I put a steering wheel in my underpants.... It's been driving me nuts.
Yeah the music too loud..his voice is too silent and when he talks down to make a remark i cant hear him.. the audio quality is not up to the par on most videos.. otherwise great review
Please get rid of that terrible song... It's like it's taunting me at this point lol
We cannot lie Audi, makes some beautiful cars
Tesla
rushbh100 yeah men
Simple, but beautiful
Eyad Baddar Sorry, no.
The Model S is gorgeous though. One of the most beautiful cars ever made, IMHO. The other Teslas are meh.
0-60 in 3.7 seconds! Isn't that supercar territory?!
He said 4.1 seconds but even that is up there with some supercars, incredible for a hatchback.
they don't test it on ideal circumstances so that when the circumstances aren't ideal you still get the official figure or a better time
How the power to weight ration is around 175 and the a45s is 190 and it's 3.9 to 100 its fake
Hault Rxst nah 4matic is shit
Bentley Continental GT also does 0-60 3.7 Seconds

Rogier There's no spoiler on the regular A45. Well, no bigger than on the RS3, anyways.
Rogier The spoiler, the front canards, and the lip spoiler in the front are part of the AMG Aero Package.
Did not know the rear wing on the Merc is an 'aero package' option, my apologies, but I think it looks horrible. Other than that I do like the car (and colour), but I still prefer the Audi.
Rogier if you want to join a funeral with that Mercedes you have to choose it in black colour 😎.
How are you going to go to your own funeral in the merc?
The music is to loud! You cant hear him!
Thats because they dont want you to hear him lol = complete idiot. I would love to know what he really drives as an everyday car - would explain allot of his attitude.
LazyPrepper he drives and RS6
Music is too loud and I can't hear you
Tomas Valentovic it's to drown out the haters like u
555

Price
The ridiculous price dumbass

@@andreabotti99 high 10's? Not stock it won't. Not even fucking close.
@@andreabotti99 agreed, you get what you pay for, Merc is just a hair dryer!!!!
I'd take the RS3 over the AMG or the M2 any day, absolutely stunning car.
Simon Vuille It looks like every other Audi the past 10 years.
And the m2 looks nothing like a small M3 from the past decade either lol???
^ Not really it looks alot different, only thing is front which looks plain, if it looked more like the M4 then it'll look better
r3h4n ^BMW fanboys be like..
opi safag you must be a BMW fanboy because you are confused
I have been waiting your review of this car for such a long time. I personally value your opinion guys
So the A45 is more like a race car, better steering feel, more grip and control but you still say the Rs3 is better haha! Good job i drove these back to back and bought a new A45 as the Rs3 felt like a shopping trolley
Can you imagine how epic would be Mat together in a show with Jhonny and Jason from MotorTrend ??
I bet it would be as good as the old TopGear !!
Can you drag the rs3 with the M140i xdrive
A whole dream, no rest until I own one
Happy with my A3 Saloon S-line 1.4 TFSI 150PS...
This gray looks amazing on the RS cars😍😍😍
Well Done Matt. Another great video. Hopefully more great things to come for you
Fantastic review Mat, really like how you are doing reviews!
Audi RS3 is the coolest car out there IMO. Great combination of looking classy and sporty without turning into a boy racer car.
You're an awesome presenter mate..keep up the good work champ!
He is bias
was chasing one the other day... thought it was straight piped, sounded great!
60grand and manual adjustable seats..
It's an option for electric seats
Sakawa That’s the fucking pound it’s an option even though it already costs 60k
I bet you won't move the seats more than 15 times in a few years🤷♂️
Those sport seats are manual only
They need to bring the sportback and the A45 to NA. If the RS3 was available as a sportback here I would already be on my way to the dealer.
The audi rs3 was always better than the a45
Lol no it's an audi
@@HaultRxst Audi is the best prémium !
Love the new rs3!
Good morning!
Morning! Hopefully this vid made it just a little bit gooder.
gooder is a perfectly cromulent word.
Boner Johnny lol what's wrong lmao
calm down.... boner...
60k with manual height adjustment, seriously Car-Wow
I'll go for the RS3
I’ve driven a few very fast Audi’s. Yes they were quick in a straight line but felt clinical, numb and detached. Honestly once you’ve driven fast M cars Audi’s do feel dull. I own an Audi Q5 3.0 Quattro so I’m not hating on the brand!
Make a drag race between new rs3 and new rs5
Agree!
That Audi gray is fantastic!
thankx for the reviews matt, i just have an issue when your speaking with a lower ton or quietly i just can't hear you, if you could fix that, thank you gain :)
Explain how it's 0-100 in 3.7 if the power to weight is 170
Where the new a45s is 0-100 in 3.9 and the power to weight ratio is 190
Considering these two lovely cars the problem in some countries could be additional / bigger tax regarding engine size (like in Poland for engines 2.0 and bigger). So if you check starting prices - the RS3 is 14 750 GBP more expensive than A45. Then I think its no brainier.
Audi RS3 for me thanks
I wonder what differences in your opinion you would have if you reviewed this RS3 to the new A45
The voice volume is pretty low. I'm missing words and part of words.
The all new A45 is expected to have over 400 bhp and an all new engine, and if the improvement is the same as the W213 E63 from the W212, it will give the RS3 a hard time.
Im a mercedes fanboy but have to take the RS absolutely... the best hatch by far even better than m2. Looks perfect and 400hp is nuts. Speaking of a45 its 6 year old design and not interested.
better than m2 :DDDDDDD
It is more practical than m2 but thats about it. Maybe the design is on par too but these 2 cars are way too different to compare. M2 is just more of a sport car.
Absolutely, but if i buying this kind of car i can fuck the boot space. I don't wanna carry my dogs in my boot i wanna RIDE or DIE
Happy with this. Love the RS3!
cut the music. distracting. i am here for a review not listen to weird kinky music
i just yesterday thought, "when would carwow upload video of this amazing car"
loved the video
His left side shirt looks like hasn't fully downloaded yet so there is a low resolution thumbnail lol
Beautiful Audi Rs3
My neighbor has a 2015 orange rs3 and it looks sick! 👌👌👌
looks like an estate
Both of this cars are fantastic: 10 on 10!Best in Premium class!
£60k for an audi hatch..... That's jaguar f type and porsche money.....
Focus ST 91 you forgot Lotus mate
christopher gomes true. You can buy a lot more car for £65k than an audi hatch.
Well its not really 65k, its more like 55k for most builds. That's still expensive for sure. But it does have the performance, special engine, dynamics and interior to match.
So its really only the stigma of being a hatch that's the issue
Jaguar F Type, Porsche.. but which one comes with 4 doors and the same practically as RS3 do?
get the saloon version then.
Rs3 absolute dream daily
Audi invented this segment 20 years ago. What did you expect? BMW and Mercedes just (tried) to copy Audi and have been behind since then...
Albert Arrabal Vw invented this segment dumbass
Albert Arrabal most uneducated comment on UA-cam
C'est exact...Audi A3 a été la première compacte premium, au niveau tecnologie et luxe elle est première avec porsche ! vu sur internet !
when you say old RS3 do you mean the previous generation or last year's RS3?
Audi for life ❤️❤️ Audi any day ❤️❤️
audi is for terrorists
VLAD THE IMPALER like u?
VLAD THE IMPALER Like you
Muhammad Arslan Audi fucks you deep and you love it :-) These cheaters.
These are by far the best reviews I've seen! Keep em coming!
Of course it's better
I’m so waiting for the new A45
Music is wayyyyy to loudddddd!!!!!!
I love your videos, but today I really felt like I was listening to Wallace from "Wallace and Gromit". Which made the video even funnier to watch! :D
"I'll start with the back bcz usually this car will be ahead of you" line of the review.
For an all round daily/fun/practical car the RS3 is all you are going to want and need (provided you don't have children).
Let me explore your quirks and features douggy...
Woops... Wrong channel
you should throw the M140i with xDrive in the comparison. i think it deserves a lot more attention.
The extremely loud background music is very exhausting to listen to.
Hi! Mat watson Can you Rewiew the mercedes A45 Amg
At least this one doesn't have fake exhaust tips
Please test the new Audi RS3 Sedan !!!
Make a review on the Mercedes GLS
Charlie Molda Do anyone buy that? Most would rather buy 2 cars instead.
Lester tan they sell 1500 - 2000 units a month in North america.
Glad 5 cylinders are back.
cut the background music, your voice is muffled by the idiotic background music. WE CANT HEAR YOU!
I can. Maybe you should try pressing the volume button.
Yeah you should try hitting the volume button. Not the volume down but the volume up
Seriously though you should ditch the sound guy.
Sometimes your voice is muffled, sometimes there's a shitty music for food recipe channels louder than your voice and sometimes you're screaming in our ears even though you're far from camera.
Those Lockheed L1011s in the background in the beginning made them video a like for me. so Peng
RS3 dream car or the RS6
Am I the only who's really bothered by the fact that Matt is always looking just off camera at a script? Not a big deal but it's one of those things you can't unsee
For car's lover Audi and Mercedes two great brands RS3 and A45 are the best compact car in Europe no one can ignore this and i don't want to compare those cars cause they are similar and beautiful !
60 grand. That's ridiculous.
Yeah they expensive, I paid just over £55k
Awesome comparison 👌🏻. Your CarWOW reviews are captivating!
If the owner of the A45 didn't want the number plates to be shown, why didn't they just remove them?
Matt is awesome, he's the only other guy who can entertain as Jeremy on cars 😁
I just ordered the brand new RS3 and it is a the hatch model
Thanks Matt good review
you are one of the best if not the best on youtube
Audi is getting ahead of the competition now,they make amazing cars
Don't think Matt is going to take either of these cars if there was a Focus RS in the same comparison.
I once sat in a mercedes A and thought someone had forgotten their GPS in the middle of the dashboard.
The mercedes is look rice and sounds rice ,so as the performance
this car say that have a quattro but a think that quattro use torsen not haldex
And for that reason, I ordered an Audi
Same here, best car
I can't help but notice Matts left eye. Why is bloodshot red?????
Audi all the way
A jolly good testing
That RS3 is over £30 grand more expensive than a focus RS..... why?
john jackson because it isn't a ford
john jackson like he said^ one is a ford, and one is a premium hatchback. One has a boring engine, while the other has an exotic 5 cylinder with character. One does a 3.7 second 0-62 while the other needs 5 seconds to do that. One has a proper interior and tech for 2017. The other does not. Need more?
john jackson It starts at 45 while the RS starts at 30... that's 15 K more in my book.
The one in the video is over £30k more. Of course the RS3 is better than a focus RS but not THAT much better. At 60 grand like the car in this video you are not that far off GTR money.
Because both these cars are in a different league to the focus which i drove and thought was poo
It shattered my heart when he jumped on the Kick panel like that 😖😭
is he cockeyed?
Any captain to reveal the number plates on the A45?? For "research" purposes, of course!
The RS3 is a beautiful piece of art an Autobahn killer machine :D
Love the Rs3 Sportback but for me it's the m2
You should've done a drag race between those 2 cars.
+Unique Da silva next Saturday you will see one! So sub and turn on notifications!
Catches fire
An RS better than an AMG...
Let me try and process that...
*_ERROR_*
Did I miss the explanation in the video, why is the plate number of the A45 obscured?
I don't understand why people buy Audis, they are so uncormfortable and feels so dissconnected from the road when driving.
09:27 "I've never said that before in my entire LIFE!" lol
