You seriously did that car justice! Love your reviews, perfectly balanced and you're able to push the car to the limits as well as getting all those lovely shots which youtubers nowadays have lost. Mainly with youtubers who have just started out, they usually have a reason which is the monetary benefits of UA-cam and it is a bit cringe aswell as they have just started out. I didn't get that from you, it was as if you did this prior to starting this channel and I have not yet seen a single add on this channel which goes to show you upload just for you subscribers. I hope your Ramadan is going well and as always, take care and God bless my bro!
Thank you brother! Love the continued support as always. Good to hear that you thought I did the car justice, I always try to capture the feel as much as I can, and try to show what I would like to see if I was watching a video like this. Definitely do it all for you guys, just love being around cars! 🙌🏽
Good to see a review from a fellow S3 owner. I test drove an RS and loved it, only to find that the rear seats were shite for leg and head room. Gutted. My kids are growing up, gotta think practical. Face lift Golf R maybe if I can't stretch to an S4 !! Keep up the reviews.
I legit think you are one of the best car reviewers out there! so much detail...always learn a few things after I finished watching a video of yours. nice one bro keep grinding 🤙🤙👏💯
Firstly, it's a great car and genuine review. I sometimes wonder if car journalists have been too objective and critical when comparing the latest hot hatches, Focus, Civic Type R, Seat, Golf R, S3 and so on because in reality there isn't much difference in term of performance, interior and exterior it's all the same in this class. Some have better seats some have better technology some have a nicer gear shift some you just let the box do its thing some take corners faster some accelerate out of corners faster the list goes on. You know unless you were to compare them with much more expensive mid range supercars there's no real difference at all driven sensibly on public roads they all seem evenly matched in terms of performance some shine better than others depending on conditions and different scenarios so it really falls down to personal choice but having said that on a track is where you see a difference and the Focus and Civic win track battles hands down but that's exactly what they were built to do. You mentioned there isn't a perfect hot hatch and I can't agree more with you! I doubt perfect would ever exist because manufacturers don't have unlimited funds they cut corners keeping build prices down and return a tidy profit. I would love the Ford engine, exhaust pops and bangs built into the Civic chassis because I think it looks the part and its light weight fwd system and aerodynamics with Audi s3 interior and technology and golf R upgraded alloys! Also like the LED indicators 😂 it's never going to happen is it 😂
Thanks mate! Yeah I agree, in terms of raw power they are all very close. It all boils down to personal preference as you say, after driving both the RS and Type R they definitely edge more to the 'racey' side, when compared with some of their german rivals. I think its great that we have such a varied choice of hot hatchbacks available
need to do full review of s3 vs rs3 and go over the pros and cons of both etc it would be a great video bro and keep the excellent content coming been seeing you progress a lot bro
I've gone from an evo x owner for last 8 years , evo was great but the sst transmition and the boring sound from stock exhaust plus the stealership inexperienced mechanics I finally sold it . Picked up my rs 4 weeks ago . Main thing I love is the manual shift . Then the pops n bangs . Over all this rs is brilliant. Not sure we are going to get many more cars like this again so I'd say go get one now before we are all pushed over to more sensible cars . Great video bro
good review mate. Too many reviewers saying the focus is amazing and way better than golf r etc. I feel you are not biased and give a good explanation about what's good about each car. keep it up
As always awesome review man. Really appreciate you taking the time to do them although I'm sure it's not too much of a chore ;) My only comment is that I get the feeling you didn't want to say anything negative with the owner keeping a close eye on things. Coming from the S3 I can't believe you would have much positive to say about that interior. Out of interest what do you think the car would be like to live with day to day? I'm currently in a facelift mk7 golf R (mk7.5 if you prefer) and much like your S3 I love the fact that it's easy to live with everyday in traffic etc, but then change the mode and it's a blast on the B-roads as well. If the RS is anything like my old Focus ST I don't think I could be happy with it around town or sitting in traffic.
So TR, don't sit on the fence ,if it was you money at under £40k, for a your daily wheels what car would you have ,now you have done a fair bit of testing on similar UK roads
If you want more fun give the leon cupra a try. It's meant to be more fun around the bends than a golf r and when fifth gear tested them the leon cupra was faster around the track than a golf r. Unlike the focus and the civic it offers nice interior with good ride quality
Bro I thought you was going to take a rest for roze.. But you back at it again with another banging video.. Maybe after Ramadan you can have a month were you show classic cars, like a classic car month..
Glad you enjoyed it bro, I was going to scale back slightly but thought I can't leave you guys hanging with nothing for a month! Will be at least one video a week. And yeah thats a good idea, ill be trying some more older cars soon for sure, plenty to come next month!
Stunning colour. I'm a fan of all makes and models. Two many to names. I'm gonna need some of that cash like the Scottish couple who won ova 50 million this wk and Hamza back garden to park them all in. Great vid as always...
Wish My R sounded like the rs. Wouldn't mind driving one to see the difference in power. I think the power in the R is steady and nothing more really except off the mark. But mine is manual. Good review.
Sorry last comment posted from wrong account: As always awesome review man. Really appreciate you taking the time to do them although I'm sure it's not too much of a chore ;) My only comment is that I get the feeling you didn't want to say anything negative with the owner keeping a close eye on things. Coming from the S3 I can't believe you would have much positive to say about that interior.
Thanks man, yeah when it comes to cars i'll always make time haha, even though filming can be a bit tricky at times! I cant complain 👍🏼 And regarding the negative stuff, i do drop a few in my videos but only if I believe they really affect the driving experience. In the case of the RS's interior it isn't a patch on the S3, not even close, but then the whole car felt like a rough and ready rally car, so it didn't bother me too much. I'd put it in the same category as the outgoing Civic Type R which has an equally poor interior. They're just set up for the driving experience. Hope you understand what I'm trying to get at lol, I appreciate the feedback :)
loving the content mate keep it up! nice to see some personality in your reviews. what about the Seat Leon Cupra 300? probably quite hard to get a hold of one but it would be a good comparison to your S3 and the Golf R as you have driven all of them.
Love the review mate but you should not have done that LC while that horse was behind you. That could have ended up in serious injury to horse and rider.
Thanks mate! And I doubt it, the owner does LC here all the time, he's very local, Rider didn't have a problem. Im pretty sure the horse is used to it by now
Nah that's not the way to look at it pal. Horses are flight animals and they will run at the first sight or sound of danger. Worth respecting that and not taking anything for granted.
Nice car wasn't really liking the launch on a manual think the automatic does it more justice because of the smoother gear changing imo.. But looks and performance are very good with this car.
This is what top gear should have been doing.reviewing cars down tight country lanes. not lighting up rear tyres until they fall off . Clarkson got boring!. ran out of ideas. they could of taken a few lessons from you. for the money GOLF R DSG, keep making these great video"s,
Great review mate one off the best on here only thing i disagree with is the seats i went with the upgraded and luv them but im short lol so seating position is spot on for me
Have you actually seen this interior or are you just repeating what you've read in some VAG forum echo chamber? Because yes, VAG cars have a better interior, but not by any measure does the Focus have worse interior than old "German" cars. You should also read up on where for the most part this car was engineered and where it is being built lmao.
ZenzDeluxe i've sat in a mk2 RS and its all cheap plastic and from the video it doesn't look like ford have improved it any further. It looks rubbish compared to its rivals like the mk7 R and the S3 🙄
Thanks for confirming you haven't seen the mk3 RS interior, exactly as i thought. But it's exactly the same right? Seen one cheap chavbox seen em all amirite? Keep living the VAG dream friend. I'll take slightly less qualitative (yes slightly, especially on the most important contact points, as pointed out in this video) over no driver engagement and understeering snoozefests any day of the week.
Nah, are you seriously comparing a Ford Focus RS and an Audi S3 (or Golf Mk7 R) ? It's not a few improvements or a slightly better built quality, it's really night and day. Have you ever sat in a S3 ? edit : not saying the the Focus is a bad car by any means, it handles well and that's what you'd expect from a hot hatch, the the built quality isn't up there.
+Jack Jones thank you bro 👊🏼 Yeah will be doing the A45 very soon, 100%. M2 may be a bit harder to find but I'll try, I'd love to see what they're about too
Thanks for reviewing my car mate was great meeting you! turned out amazing bro!
thanks bro!
No problem bro, thanks for inviting me down! Really enjoyed the day, fantastic car! 👍🏼
I was quite blown away by the S3, but amazing work on my car bro!
DannyDRobbo Get a good alarm system. My neighbours car got stolen with keyless entry
Ive been looking at an upgraded system might have to go ahead and get it now tbh can never be too safe!
that exhaust note is something else,great review again bro.
I know right, literally felt like I was playing a rally simulator!
Love how at 12:22 a person on a horse comes into frame in the rear window as you are going to do a launch control and just touching the rev limiter

Thanks bro appreciate the support! and good to hear you're learning stuff too, thats one of the aims of my videos defo. Will keep them coming 🙌🏽
great review mate! One of the best. Glad you enjoyed the car. I have one and it's a great car :)
Fezza had one 😞
Easly the best review of the 2017 RS. Just picked one up.
Firstly, it's a great car and genuine review. I sometimes wonder if car journalists have been too objective and critical when comparing the latest hot hatches, Focus, Civic Type R, Seat, Golf R, S3 and so on because in reality there isn't much difference in term of performance, interior and exterior it's all the same in this class.

need to do full review of s3 vs rs3 and go over the pros and cons of both etc it would be a great video bro and keep the excellent content coming been seeing you progress a lot bro
Eventually will do bro, thanks for the support!
Great vid mate. You seemed to enjoy driving that a lot lol, that blue is stunning.
Thanks mate! Yeah it was a proper riot to drive haha!
good review hamza like you said it is very engaging to drive you are part of the driving experience and you never get tired of the pops and bangs.
Thanks mate, yeah very engaging drive for sure, I throughly enjoyed it!
I've gone from an evo x owner for last 8 years , evo was great but the sst transmition and the boring sound from stock exhaust plus the stealership inexperienced mechanics I finally sold it . Picked up my rs 4 weeks ago . Main thing I love is the manual shift . Then the pops n bangs . Over all this rs is brilliant. Not sure we are going to get many more cars like this again so I'd say go get one now before we are all pushed over to more sensible cars . Great video bro
Love that dirty, crackling noise from the exhaust. It's so phonologically appealing!
I agree! Such a violent and raw sound, proper rally car feeling!
Currently have a mk2 ST and in a years time I’ll be upgrading to this! Brilliant review mate
Waiting for your upload bro nice one, good video mashallah.
Thank you bro, hope it was worth the wait 👍🏼
Great review pal..3 months into mine with a mountune upgrade..I cannot stop smiling 😁
good review mate. Too many reviewers saying the focus is amazing and way better than golf r etc. I feel you are not biased and give a good explanation about what's good about each car. keep it up
+ray harrison Thank you for the feedback mate! 👍🏼 Yeah I always thought the same too, it's a great car but like every car it has a few downsides.
As always awesome review man. Really appreciate you taking the time to do them although I'm sure it's not too much of a chore ;)
My only comment is that I get the feeling you didn't want to say anything negative with the owner keeping a close eye on things. Coming from the S3 I can't believe you would have much positive to say about that interior.

Need a rs3 on the channel
Soon 👍🏼
So TR, don't sit on the fence ,if it was you money at under £40k, for a your daily wheels what car would you have ,now you have done a fair bit of testing on similar UK roads
Great work bro 👍🏾 , you should do a video with living life fast llf
If you want more fun give the leon cupra a try. It's meant to be more fun around the bends than a golf r and when fifth gear tested them the leon cupra was faster around the track than a golf r. Unlike the focus and the civic it offers nice interior with good ride quality
that colour is stunning. Love an RS
Bro I thought you was going to take a rest for roze.. But you back at it again with another banging video.. Maybe after Ramadan you can have a month were you show classic cars, like a classic car month..
Glad you enjoyed it bro, I was going to scale back slightly but thought I can't leave you guys hanging with nothing for a month! Will be at least one video a week. And yeah thats a good idea, ill be trying some more older cars soon for sure, plenty to come next month!
TR Hamza e46 m3 would be a good review bro
I agree, just hard to find an E46 M3 to review
Stunning colour. I'm a fan of all makes and models. Two many to names. I'm gonna need some of that cash like the Scottish couple who won ova 50 million this wk and Hamza back garden to park them all in. Great vid as always...
Wish My R sounded like the rs. Wouldn't mind driving one to see the difference in power. I think the power in the R is steady and nothing more really except off the mark. But mine is manual. Good review.
Love your reviews mate. You make them sensibly and easy to understand 👌
+Darrren Fisher Thank you mate, it’s always a goal of mine to keep em that way so glad it’s working 🙌🏼
You're doing a good job on these reviews, looking forward for what's to come.
Thanks mate!

Another top class review. Can't wait for the polo gti vid.
Your car reviews are spot on mate.... Just great work 👌
Thank you 👍🏼 Always good to hear feedback!
This was a great video, well done bro! Keep it up
it's a shame they didnt make a green color like previous one. That was beast.
Good honest car review. Well done Mate.
Andy, East Yorkshire.
loving the content mate keep it up! nice to see some personality in your reviews. what about the Seat Leon Cupra 300? probably quite hard to get a hold of one but it would be a good comparison to your S3 and the Golf R as you have driven all of them.
Great review bro as usual. Best manual car on the market.
A BBC 2, 8pm slot should be reserved for you. :)
Humza back at it again
👏
Such a good car just only needs a little more refinement inside in my opinion considering the price of it
Love the review mate but you should not have done that LC while that horse was behind you. That could have ended up in serious injury to horse and rider.
Thanks mate! And I doubt it, the owner does LC here all the time, he's very local, Rider didn't have a problem. Im pretty sure the horse is used to it by now

keep it up bru. always enjoy watching your videos.
+Prashay Parbhoo thank you bro, glad you're enjoying them!
Waiting for Sehri! Great Video again.
Hope i helped with the wait haha, thanks man!
that is my favorite car thanks for reviewing it
No problem 👍🏼
Nice car wasn't really liking the launch on a manual think the automatic does it more justice because of the smoother gear changing imo.. But looks and performance are very good with this car.
This is what top gear should have been doing.reviewing cars down tight country lanes. not lighting up rear tyres until they fall off . Clarkson got boring!. ran out of ideas.
they could of taken a few lessons from you. for the money GOLF R DSG, keep making these great video"s,
Next plz the m140i or a45 amg
They are 100% on the way, I have the cars available, just need free time to film, won't be long mate
Medamine Majid agree with m140i but a45 amg??? any hatchback that costs over 40grand aint a hot hatch and defeats the purpose
Great review mate one off the best on here only thing i disagree with is the seats i went with the upgraded and luv them but im short lol so seating position is spot on for me
Nice review and good actual driving footage 👍
Thanks pal!
Finally I've got my own :D
You should try to get in an Abarth 695
As always great video Hamza. Keep it up
+Martin Saur Thanks pal, will do!
love these, I'm tempted to get one
After driving it, i can totally understand why you're tempted, they're brilliant!
Mate has a white one but it doesn't stand out as much as the blue
Not feeling the RS too much, but sounds crazy...
bro, i love your channel. great content
Thank you bro, love the support!
Awesome car ans good review ! You need to test the fiesta ST its a fun car ! Keep the work up bro 👊🏻
Thanks 👍🏼 Fiesta ST is coming soon!
Great video Hamza, keep it up
Amazing car and what a beautiful country we live in when it's summer 😁
Can't wait to see ur review of the a45 Amg....
Great video. Can we have a Focus ST or a mustang next?
Probably my favourite automotive reviewer and content i can relate to. However, stop pointing at me!
Thanks mate! And dont worry ill stop pointing at you from now on 😂
Haha cheers! Pulled the trigger on an rs3 last week. No regrets... Come to Australia and you can review it 😂
Nice video bro, have you done a review on the Focus RS MK2?
good reviews pal. enjoy watching
Glad you found the video entertaining pal! 👍🏼
Great video. Thanks for posting this up.
Great videos man, I've been subscribed from early! What cameras do you use?
Great review, Can you do an Audi RS3 next?
another great video. Ramadan mubarak
great video! what camera do you use to shoot your videos?
12:15 incoming Horse Rider, stayed back when you started revving at 12:25 :P
Haha I think these horses are used to the sound of this particular RS by now! 😂
they sure are ;)
Get this hot hatch meet up organised mate!!
Soon!
This is the spec I would go for
Best handling hot hatch is the MINI JCW
They should do an RS with DSG.
very good review honest no nonsense all round very good man
Thank you mate, really appreciate the feedback
Horse timed that well!
Hello Mate good video and really nice looking/Sounding car 👍. Thank you TR Hamza.
No problem mate thanks for watching! 👍🏼
Love the vidoes bro
Thank you bro!
kiddha Hamza.. what would u say is the best FWD car that you've reviewed?
sounds like a beast
You deserve way more subs bro
We'll get there soon!
cant belive u just replies to my comment ur the bestcar youtuber out there
Bdw lucky you dint scare them horses in the background..
Get an A45 on the channel
Cars ready, just gotta film it, early July most likely
A45 AMG and RS3 please!
great video
beast car
Yep!
Top video! Good stuff!
Great number plate!
M135i compared to s3? Thinking of purchasing one of them.. Would love your honest review
Ive driven the M235i, which is close, preferred the S3 ill be honest.
You thought about driving a Seat Leon FR / Cupra?
Lovely car but i just cant live with that interior! Older german cars have a better interior than this...
Have you actually seen this interior or are you just repeating what you've read in some VAG forum echo chamber? Because yes, VAG cars have a better interior, but not by any measure does the Focus have worse interior than old "German" cars. You should also read up on where for the most part this car was engineered and where it is being built lmao.
ZenzDeluxe i've sat in a mk2 RS and its all cheap plastic and from the video it doesn't look like ford have improved it any further. It looks rubbish compared to its rivals like the mk7 R and the S3 🙄
Thanks for confirming you haven't seen the mk3 RS interior, exactly as i thought. But it's exactly the same right? Seen one cheap chavbox seen em all amirite? Keep living the VAG dream friend. I'll take slightly less qualitative (yes slightly, especially on the most important contact points, as pointed out in this video) over no driver engagement and understeering snoozefests any day of the week.
ZenzDeluxe jheeze looks like that comment got to you my friend. Have fun with your ford transit interior 😂
Nah, are you seriously comparing a Ford Focus RS and an Audi S3 (or Golf Mk7 R) ? It's not a few improvements or a slightly better built quality, it's really night and day. Have you ever sat in a S3 ?
edit : not saying the the Focus is a bad car by any means, it handles well and that's what you'd expect from a hot hatch, the the built quality isn't up there.
Sounds wicked!
love the way you review the videos bro. Any chance of reviewing the M2 as well as A45amg. Would love to see what you think. keep it up.
+Jack Jones thank you bro 👊🏼 Yeah will be doing the A45 very soon, 100%. M2 may be a bit harder to find but I'll try, I'd love to see what they're about too
Ever thought on reviewing the new Megane RS?
I want one of these so bad I even bought a raffle ticket to win one. I really would like to have one.
Golf R or the RS? For a normal driving car
Rapid car, a proper drivers machine, but the interior is a little Iffy.
What about the torque steer? I know the ST is horrible on that part.
Would love to see you review a facelift A45. IMO the most fun hatchback out there
Its coming soon!
best car
It is pretty great!
I'D have a hard time picking between this and a Golf R
Yeah, both great in their own way! This is more of a crazy car, in a good way!
TR Hamza So which one do you prefer, Golf R or Focus RS?
Golf R
