Would you say an RS3 is a good Golf R replacement? 🤔
Best in its class.
Toyota Supra
TTS or TTRS
Nicer engine, blunter handling. Depends what you want from a car. It wouldn't be my choice.
Has to be facelift car
Absolutely buy an RS3, but not that one. Very poor spec.
True, didn’t look like it had supersports seats
Wouldn't buy an RS3 with that low of a spec, got to think of the resell value
scottymtb true
Bat man what?
Bat man child
Yea it’s already pretty old. Cheap!
If that was me I'd try to get it with unreplacable parts like factory tints and nardo grey paint. Wouldn't really care about seats or wheels as you could just change them out later. Cheapest nardo grey RS3 I've seen from £33k which is still a lot of money unless you have a lot of disposable income
The 5 cyl sound is just amazing. That's it.
I agree! Amazing
If your considering an RS3, I’d look for one in a desirable colour, with the upgrade supersport seats in black with red or grey stitching, with the RS exhaust and mag ride and as many other options as possible on it
That one is poverty spec
Also , I know you will miss the digital dash from the golf R , so maybe a newer Rs3 with the digital dash .
Nicholos summers digi dash is nice but it’s a gimmick, that and 2017 > cars are still making 40k upwards
I’d rather have the pre facelift, in a high spec, it’s just as good a car, and ultimately, an “original” not only that if he is going to tune it That all alloy block is an Achilles heel, plenty have blown up chasing more power
Nicholos summers Er no, I’d rather have the rs3 pre facelift than a facelift s3. Terrible advice.
The sound, look, performance of these are insane, Even though you haven't shown the other cars you're considering, I think you should get an RS3
Exactly what im thinking!
It's got to be Rs3
I have just chopped in my 2016 Golf R DSG for a beautiful 2016 Audi RS3 Dynamic Pack / Nappa Leather / Black Pack - best thing I have ever done. Golf R was awesome, this is an overall big step up however
Rs3 or s4 3.0 for a little less money🤷🏻♂️
Doesn't Sam lowkey look like Sam from seen through glass?😂
Yeah I see the resemblance 😂
Quite why anyone would buy an a45 over an rs3 is beyond me, mental.
Sticking to hot hatch’s, A45 and RS3 are the only 2 worth upgrading too in my opinion
Rs3 is the ultimate golf r upgrade it’s beats every single hot hatch, try for a better spec one though. Deffo rs3
Omg drive the thing the way it’s supposed to be driven🙈 😂
But it’s not mine!!
hampshirephoto Which is an even better reason to drive it the way it should be.
The reason i hate his fucking reviews when its so much potential to them...
Should’ve tuned the Golf before u got rid. You would’ve unleashed a different beast🤷🏻♂️
Yes u should get an rs3
Hope you did a proper test drive off camera 🙄👍😁
I agree this is the most boring video that you have done. Snooze!!!!!!
The Rs5 would be just a dream
But the rs3 is okay as well
RS3 is awesome! I'll be picking up an S4 Saloon/S5 5dr next year and this is making me excited for it 👍🏻
For the sound yeh the PFL, but I’d go the FL. it’s far better 😎
Yes RS3 with a big turbo
Immense car but not sure about the alloys...
Bar it not being the greatest spec. They're fantastic cars!
If you go on church's the c63 is sold the lower a45 is reserved
Thomas Tate getting detective, I like it! Hahah
Only an idiot would buy an a45 over an rs3, there is nothing special about an a45.
How would you get insured on an RS3 at 19/20? Or are you older, would be a lot of fun though if you could 😂
Insurance is a nightmare! I’m 20 with 3 years NCD
The golf R was sold in just a week that car was great but rs3 are good too a good replacement in my opinion
A35 amg is his next car, yellow colour
Yes it has a nice engine 🔥
Buyy it m8, rs3 and that 5 cylinder is an amazing platform. You won’t regret it.
RS3 or AMG A45
Try a rear wheel drive car, much more rewarding and you will learn more about car control
This rs3 is missing the signature wheels
Wow!!!!that rs3 is a hell of a car that engine and sound is amazing I would defo choose that rs3 I would love one of them 😁
Definitely an amazing car definitely a dream car of mine keep up the great work and can’t wait to see your new car 🚗 👍🏻
Thank you!! 6pm this Saturday #14LAP
Hot hatches What else???
The best choice!!! Performances price etc...
For sure for me it’s a Seat Leon cupra
If you are going to get an rs3 get it in nardo grey and tune it dont just wrap it and sell it on like other youtubers or even get a c63s
RSQ3
Buy it Luke! Buy it! If I could afford to upgrade my S1 it would be an RS3 for the sound alone 💪🏻
Absolutely you should! PFL not the 2018 lame upgrade.
Yes.
I’ve just paid £45k for a 18 plate With everything on it inc carbon engine bay
Nice!
Doubt it, with everything on it I was over £60k
Those wheels on an RS3 just make it look so plain and boring
2016=out of warranty=performance mods?
👀
Yep and it’ll go to 1000bhp on the same engine and clutch. Obviously it’s still best to upgrade. Realistically the golf r and s3 will go to approx half that.
An M2 or an M2 comp would be a good alternative.
Gordon McCartney sure would be, but then its not a hot hatch
Sedan rs3. Nardo grey. Black wheels.
Is that an Irish plate on the RS3?
Not sure
Northern Irish, used here to cheaply hide a cars age.
I’ve got an s3 java green, seems a good balance , an rs3 would be nice but I think an rs4 avant would be another level 👌🏻 but s3 for now is good
Just a quick question have you had any problems with your S3???
Touch wood nothing as of yet!
seems a solid car so far! they run hot 103-105c and up to 108c , but nothing of concern and normal, I’ve had the water pump and fuel pump done which needs doing at 50k the cars on 56k 2014 model going to keep it for another few years , the paint is an exclusive colour from factory so not seen another yet
@@GamingCornerYT Funny you mention the water pump, I have a vegas yellow 2015 S3 and the water pump went on it a few weeks ago and its still at Audi Wolverhampton being repaired, I had it back a few days ago but it had to go back as they had not got air out of the system or something and ended up over-heating, So back to Audi it went. I know its a common problem the water pump on VAG cars I just wondering if there is anything else in the works that could potentially break!!!
Java green is a lovely colour, saw one in that colour a few years ago and it looks amazing in the sunlight!!!
welloilbeefhooked
Mine was overheating after pump change and it turned out coil pack had gone (coil 4) and needed replacing so have a look at that! , my car was overheating and not cooling (110-111c) and had a few overheat warning lights but seems great now!
@@GamingCornerYT Nice one, I'll phone the garage tomorrow, so fingers crossed they have the car ready. Sick of driving there Audi A1 courtesy car.
Eagerly awaiting these vids since you announced them, had my watchlist set-up for this evening but just jumped you to the head of the queue when I saw it available
That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for the support
My grandma drive faster
I'll unsubscribe if you do
BMW M2 or RS5? One of those would get my vote 😉
The pre facelift rs5 is awesome. No idea why but the revious gen rs5 looks so good. The proportions are amazing. The rear end is menacing and the front end is good as well once you add front canards. Might go from a 2017 s3 to a 2017 rs5 the yearbefore they facelifted to get that old audi lookand supercharger!
Dave ThaBoss Good choice mate! I find coupe’s a little more special and grown up than a hatchback. Mind you I am an older guy 😁
I decided to friended you now
Yes I love the RS3 but that RS is the same as mine and the manual and launch control is awesome and the standard seats are brilliant and they get you sat nice and low. Just make sure the cylinder head had been done. Cheers Oliver
Get the rs3 saloon
What a fantastic car they are! Looking forward to seeing the other 3 too. I’m a massive RenaultSport fan so I can’t wait for the Megane video 😁😁
Coming tomorrow at 6pm!
hampshirephoto Excellent! 👍🏻
This is how you do a test drive
ua-cam.com/video/YbDBztca1WQ/v-deo.html
Looks like a press review to me
So I guess other than the RS3 you are probably testing a A45 AMG, Focus RS (manual 'box mentioned) and the Megane RS? If it were me I wouldnt buy a pre-face RS3 as you'd always be thinking about the better handling and lighter 400bhp facelift and wishing you'd bought that.
I wouldnt change my Golf R for any of them (had much faster cars in the past anyway) as the Golf is the best all rounder IMO and a great daily driver. :-)
Rs3 is the way to go.. even better if you could stretch the budget to the facelift. Nearly sure the facelift is a mid 2017 car. My mate has a January 2018 rs3 with the new cockpit with a price tag of 101,000euro with the options he picked🙉
Either an RS3 or a BMW M2 Competition. Go for the Face-lift model RS3 though with the Active Info Display + 396ps engine. I would test a both M2s the Normal M2 plus an Competition.
How’s a 20 year old lad like you afford an RS3? Presumably the bank will own it but even so the payments will be quite hefty! When I was 20 I had a £1300 Celica 😂
I like the Pre FL RS3 over the FL. In my opinion it looks more bad than the FL. The PRe FL is the bad boy and the FL a sunny boy from the look. And the sound is also better than the FL. For me, I would buy pre FL
yes you should, im lokin at gettin an s3 next, miss my old audi a3 3.2
S3, solid car!
Very friendly garage. Let me test drive a 440 bhp Ford Focus rs. Should have bought it! Big regret.
Always have great cars in.great vid btw!
If you are considering a RS3 you need to spend the extra and get the 400bhp I test drove one and it was awesome... when I change the golf r it will be top of my list with the new A45 and golf r plus to come out. Mal keep the vids coming
Yes or an rs6
Quality and spec of These are just 👌in my opinion. Got a driving day tomorrow, driving a Lamborghini and a Bentley GT! Cant wait!!! :0
Have fun!
Not sure why you bought the BMW, but it was good while it lasted, enjoy driving your new car whatever you end with.
Haven’t watched your vids for a bit but just as I am about to buy a car. You are literally looking at the same ones I am. Thanks for these mate! 👍
YES!!!!!!!
Bought a car from Church’s Performance earlier this year myself, good dealership couldn’t fault them!
Alfa Giulia QV
BMW m140i is best. 3ltr rear wheel n sound is awesome when put a better exhaust on. It also won your test
Wanna have a good test drive of my M140i?? :)
Really nice the rs3 but seem to be a but up there in price compared to the a45 and others, especially with the proper seat and other goodies cheers Steve 👍😀
Yes
Love your videos but this was a bit meh..... think I would have been more interested had we seen the road as a posed to the dash.
Another hatch, boringg. You have no kids or need for seats. Get something interesting.
I had that year RS3 and it was mega although I was a little older 27. Maybe go with an M2?
Amazing car, but you literally cannot seem to feel the speed in them as much as you can in other cars!
Hot option...
The A45 will still be your best choice for a hot hatch in my opinion
Yes they are great. Love mine. As an alternative brand new m4 cars are £48k
That sound 🔥 Milltek secondary decat pipes with Audi sports exhaust 👌 sorted!
why is a35 amg not a option
Have you driven one? Not very involving and such a chintzy interior.
If you buy it your channel would multiply ten fold
test drove a golf r there about 2 months ago was good
i think thats a no brainer,so that will be a yes then
Yes but not the hatch. Buy an RS3 saloon or ttrs
Hahah how is a golf r estate a comparison to an rs6 😂
I wouldn’t buy a pre-face lift RS3, certainly with that spec. If you can, get a late 2017 car instead. They look a bit better being the facelift and have updated tech like virtual cockpit etc. Also, A45s do not compare to RS3s, at all.
Doesn't the face-lift car come with the better aluminium block???
@@welloilbeefhooked4984 Yes it does
Map it
Nardo grey, with nice alloys
I do think rs3 but a45 are so nice! Deffo my upgrade after my 7.5 r
Problem is the mk7.5 R is such a great all round car anything else will cost more and probably be not as much fun!!!
I think he is gonna get the focus rs
Tana madona che coppia 😂
Ahahah dio cane non smetto di ridere...😂 che facce che hanno
This is my dream car...if it had a MT
AMG A45 is the ultimate hot hatch
Should have... but not that one
Get an s4 3.0 and remap it
Terrible spec 🤦♂️
Yes bro. Go for it❤️
Rs3 bro 😜😜😜
