    Mat’s finally got his hands on the all-new Audi RS3!
    He’ll be testing out both the Sportback & Saloon versions throughout this video to find out if this maxed-out A3 has what it takes to compete with its predecessor, along with competitors such as the A45!
    For starters, it’s clearly not shy of performance when you check out what’s under the bonnet! That’s right, the 2.5-litre 5 cylinder is back, pumping out the same 400hp as before along with slightly more torque, at 500Nn. Audi claim it’ll hit 60mph in 3.8 seconds, but will it?! You’ll have to keep watching to find out...
    When it comes to the design, there’ll be no mistaking the RS3 for either an A or S3, with the aggressive grille upfront through to the huge oval tailpipes at the back really helping it to stand out. What’s more, once you take a look inside, you’ll find a whole load of red stitching & accents throughout the cabin.
    But is it really worth the £51,000 starting price? There’s only one way to find out… Stick with Mat for this all-new review!

    Audi RS3 / TTRS has Rally Car DNA and is designed for ultimate performance around Europe/Alps/Various other mountains.
    So although it is quick around the track and 1/4 mile, when you go on a road trip you will see it come to life.
    I had a 2013 version, put Contact 6 Sport SP's on it and was 4 wheel drifting around mountain hairpins (not recommending or advising to do, but if your an advanced driver and have the skillset try if you wish).
    In terms of Tuning APR has the best off the shelf map, you probably do not need to do more than that if your buying the new RS3.

    Then in September 2020 went to a dealership to see a couple of low mileage cars. The reg plate looked familiar on the car that I picked. Did a deal, then went home to rewatch Matt's review. Lo and behold, it was the same car! I almost cancelled the purchase since so many thousands of viewers had "virtually" been inside it. 🤣🤣
    Stuck with the deal, it was valeted before delivery and smelt like new. So I'm happy with it.😄

    Lovely car, did own a 2017 model for a time.
    But its expensive driving here. (netherlands)
    Now driving a 2020 TT, its reduced monthly costs around 150 - 175 euro's.
    Insurance wanted a gps tracker in the rs so it cost me 25 euro per month extra on top of the more expensive insurance.
    Then taxes (its based on weight and amount of polution) and fuel use.
    Now fuel prices are going up fast it would even be a bigger difference.
    My car now has only 190 hp, but i love it. Speed comes at a price.
