Very good review! I went from a Mazda Miata to a 2023 RS3. What the Mazda lacked in power, the RS3 has in abundance. This is a car that is a great long-distance highway cruiser - put it in comfort mode and it will get 32 mpg at 65 mph. Set the drive mode to RS, and you're looking at a car that will just about keep up with Porsches costing twice as much. If you don't mind small cars (and I don't), it's a great choice for someone who wants a sport sedan and a confortable cruiser. If you go with a more restrained color, you'll have the perfect sleeper.

Depends on the drive mode. In confort, turbo lag is noticeable, then becomes increasingly less so as you move on to auto, dynamic, and then RS modes.

Right... cause It's TOTALLY logical to cross-shop a 60-70k USD 3500lb ~400hp compact against a 120-140k USD 5000lb ~600hp full-sized wagon. I'd be into the RS3 hatch because I'm looking for one nice car to do it all... not spend that twice over when I personally don't need (any) back seat space. I want/need a little more space than a Golf R... but don't need nearly as much space as an RS6 or full-size SUV.

@@Xolition RE the A5/S5/RS5 Sportback... Even though it's technically a lift back... it's still just a large sedan with a SLIGHTLY improved cargo area. And it's still much larger than an RS3 Hatch/Wagon. But I don't need the width and back seat space and prefer smaller cars and their ease to drive and park in the city, and fun on a back road. I imagine there are many young(er) professionals like myself w/o kids who are in a similar place. That's the point of my comment... there is a sizable hole in the lineup that would be filled by the RS3 Hatch/Wagon. To be honest: At the price point of an RS5 Sportback, a Macan S/GTS or SQ5 is a much better buy from a utility perspective, and I'm not sure it would dynamically be too different.

I’m sorry but saying the car feels naturally aspirated makes me wonder if you’ve ever driven one? There’s plenty of turbo lag and boom then the surge kicking in when boost pressure’s been built up. Nevertheless I just love my RS3.

That engine is awesome, wish that Audi gave us the hatchback version. Hoping the Mk8.5 Golf R interior issues are remedied, then that EA888 would be good enough for me.

Would love to see Micah's family reviewing this one! I love the color so much! Reminds me of the toxic green Lambo Diablo on NFS: Hot Pursuit on PlayStation 2 days! I am so happy that Audi made this, and we all know that Audi is the trendsetter, which means other car makers will offer fun colors like these soon. Come on Hyundai! Give us Venom Green or Fluorescent Yellow N cars!

It's the faux grille that goes across the rear bumper. Corollas have that same faux grille across its rear bumper as well. It's the only part of the car I didn't like with the RS3 8Y. I prefer the S3 8Y rear more.

With your rockstar friend, tell her to get a wiff of the Lancia Stratos, Fiat Dino, and Ferrari dino, along with a Lampretti V12, the early F1 version they had in early ferrari's as while I love the quattro, saying that a 5 or a 10 sounds better than them, OH also the Alfa Romeo 2000 spider, and the early early lancia V6s is patently false, hell its one of the tell tale signs of a fake ferrari with a load of bull on its hood you just get one wiff of that audi V10 and GO nOPE, not a lamborghini, not in the slghtest, as if the patently germanic design that did away with all the color accents, put in a ton of understeer, and turned the interior into a claustrophobics hell instead of the beautful connoly leather of the espada, a car they should have remade in the early 2000's to compete with aston, instead of that ugly gallardo where its just a really nice place to be. also alot of the sound is in the exhaust, cross pipes really help, along with anasi pipes, like you have to look at who is tuning that, just as much as everything else and that is coming from someone who had the exact same motor as you for over 12 years, which is why I'm looking at this, as I was like hey wait does this have my old motor in it just bumped up to UR quattro rally spec? figures though the back seats would be a problem, I need something with good space back there, and the 2.0 liters and the V6's they make just give off a vibe of problems going somewhere to happen to say nothing of their overpriced costs, like their median for a half decent car is 60 thousand dollars for literally everything. ' granted then you look at a 300C and its interior and its like OH DEAR!
