GTI Edition 30 returns in the next video! Fitting a hybrid turbo 😉

Who's been a big fan of hamzah since a couple of years?

Who remembers that snow vlog with his s3 😂😂

The sound of the PFL is so on point 🔥

8V Facelift is on another level, Audi really did get the ideas on paper and went all out on the facelift.

Pre Facelift has my vote, sounds naughty compared to the new one!!!

My PFL with Eventuri Intake, Sec Decat Bypass and a custom Stage 1 tuning is running 450bhp. The sound of the PFL is in my opinion better but the FL does have all the modern toys. Both models are superb.

the signature north face is back out 😂

Both so nice when properly specced like these. Makes such a difference

Nice to see a full explanation with all the subtle changes.

Right I’m not going to purchase the facelift as I prefer my door unlocks the other way around💀

Pre opf facelift 17/18 plate is the sweet spot

Owned my 2015 Daytona Grey 3 months now, loving the depth of sound/bangs/pops. Month ago uprated to tte500 turbo/airtec inter/rammair intake/autotech hp pump @ 512bhp/680nm. Last week, Milltek downpipe added with, possible increase of 30-40bhp, definitely feel the increase, on rollers next week to check map (new one?) & figures. Know the fl is more precise due to block lightness but, this thing sounds insane...especially with the recent upgrades, quick enough 😁

i like the pre facelift more, it still has the simple but nice styling that vw and audi where good at. The face lifted a3 was audi's first step into the over styling they do these days

"Littrally an asbo machine from the factory"🤣🤣

Great video! So happy with my OPF RS3 especially with stage 1 map to give the exhaust more character with pops and burbles. It’s a weapon on any road and find the handling very direct and precise, never driven a PFL but from your review I’m glad I avoided buying one, although they do sound insane!! Look forward to more content from you soon : )

Totally agree with your comments too, especially coming from a Golf R myself. The Golf does drive better than the PFL but I wanted that Audi 5 pot sound and it doesn’t disappoint. I couldn’t afford a FL model at the time but at least I’ve got these vids to watch so keep up the good work 👍

Thanks for the great comparison video,I am surprised how many differences they have.Really enjoyed it mate👍

The Prefaced is the BEST RS3 ever built. And the sound is so amazing on the RS3 2015-2016 models. Amazing sound.

Thank you my friend for keeping the RS3 alive. People dont make enough content about these beauties

Love watching these comparisons

Cracking review & summed it up perfectly, I’ve just sold my PFL Rs3 and the only thing I’m missing is the noise the rest was a bit of disappointment if I’m honest.

This was such a useful video! You always hit point.

Thanks for the video and honest evaluation ... enjoyed it! I'm considering picking up an RS3 and might just go with a new 2022, but we'll see.

The Pre-facelift sounds so nice tho the newer one sounds held back

Been waiting for an honest comparison like this for ages - I own a 65 plate PFL RS3 with dynamic package etc and have had it for a few years now.... totally agree with your comments on it, yes its a total sound machine vs FL and OPF but feels very wobbly on roads and a feeling of disconnect in a weird way when driving. In a straight line it feels great but thats it... my other half's mk7 Golf GTI PP feels more alive and fun to drive if Im honest... but that sound of the RS is something else. I would think about upgrading to a FL pre OPF... but barely drive anymore!

Sick comparison and review!

I don't own either, but this video is really good. Love the way you just reel the specs off from the top of your head... Nice work 👍

Love from south africa

the thing I like about the rs3 (or at least your white one) is that they sound the way a sport car should. Red one sounds like its not feeling well tho from the outside, but from the inside it sounds amazing

The pre facelift had us when no other super car could be afforded🤝

Hamza my prag loving the video please keep it up u r my escape from corona

I have a 67 plate facelift RS3, love it, awesome all round!!!

Wow, very comprehensive explanations. Thank you!

The RS3 between these two is the one you want. 💪

Loving this content 👍👍

One word: "Thunderous!"

This is literally my favourite upload. I have an RS3 8P and after 2 1/2 years of owning it, I'm tempted by an 8V. Budget is going to be key for me, but knowing the difference between the models and specs is a great help. I think il be looking at the ASBO version 🤣 Thanks bud.

Awesome video spot on hamza👍

awesome as always bro

The black antenna on the roof is an indicator for the OPF. The pre OPF facelift does have a body colored one.

Thanks mate i never knew the differences were so major. I won’t bother with a pre facelift now....

Would love to see a drag race between these 2 models ...

Great Vid mate! You are 100% right.... the handling make the confidence in the drive for sure and that is what forms a kind of human to machine bond or fusion. Hard to explain but I have the same feelin when riding performance bikes compared to harleys (and I love my harley) !!

Beasts mashallah

Keep up the amazing videos bro if possible could u do a pre OPF vs OPF rs3 video.

Great review bud 👍

Love your vids mate

Like the looks of the ore face lift,like the aluminum block on the new one, like the price on the PFL version too,lol!! Hama,you should do a pff filter removal and high flow cats with a Akropovic or Milltek axle back out on yojrs. Would sound so much meaner and better. You’d prob fall in love with the sound honestly.🔥🔥✌🏽

I know what you mean about the pre facelift steering wondering my m140i does the same at high speeds, I'm away to put m2/3or 4 lower front arms on it supposedly this helps.... but never heard anyone mention this in their reviews before I got it. Great review of the 2 cars, some interesting points I didn't know

When are you doing more RS3 video? Great work and love your channel 👍👍

Looking forward to some more RS3 content Hamza! I have a 2020 RS3 myself so I am very interested to see how your tuning goes with the OPF, or if you remove the OPF what parts you use..... #rs3 #supercarkiller #rallypedigree

Best channel on KZfaq respect ✊

great video, your videos have improved a lot, subscribed MA BRO

That red is fireeee, id have the wheels black where theyre grey though 😍😎

Great video. The new RS3 is amazing, as is the A45S. I wish it was in my price range. I only had 20 grand to play with, and went with a 2017 M140i auto, and remapped it to 411bhp/576nm, and I think it's the most fun, and possibly the fastest, £20k hatch around.

Nice video! Thanks! hamza...something interesting: the staggered wheel setup (from factory) you have from pirelli / conti..255 front (8.5J rim) and 235 rear (8J rim) is quite specific to the RS models...it must have the "R02" marking on them. if you go with another tyre manufacturer like Michelin Pilot Sport 4S...255 front and 235 rear..the haldex is totally confused and you have traction light kicking in under normal driving conditions. So what the guys do is to solve the issue is just to put the traction control light off permanently (this is not the correct way to fix it and puts a lot of strain on your haldex) - i believe the circumsfere is not correct with the non OEM R02 255/235 combo setup. When you compare the 235/35/19 Michelin PS4s with the Pirelli / Conti 255/30/19 R02....you will actaully see the 235 from Michelin is wider / just as wide. So what the guys do is..for better traction..better turning..a tyre that outlasts these "R02" tyres by mileage and performance by far....we go to a "square setup"...meaning...we go 235/30/19 all round with the Michelin PS4s. Perhaps you know this already, but thought I'll just share. Stay well & stay safe..regards from RSA.

Pre facelift is the one👌🏼 looks and sounds better and cheaper!

Honest reviewing.....👍

Was half expecting a pre opf fl to appear half way around the video would’ve been the ultimate rs3 comparison video. Maybe on a follow up video? Why not? Right? Would give ya another reason to jump on another rs3.

your cars much nicer, even prefer the sound too tbh its just nice

Amazing videos!

I’m getting the new Audi rs3 when it comes out do you reckon it will be even more quiet than the 2020 one? and would there be a way to take the opf filter out? Love the videos aswell bro keep grinding ❤️

You can get an led lit interior in the preface lift, I have it. Also buttons light up red in the pre facelift and white in the facelift 😏.

Sick video 👍🏽

This gonna help me decide

Loving this daily videos new video everyday not like do one video and wait for week na mashallah need a proper POV drive in b7 rs4 and what’s full spec of b7 rs4

how does the facelift without OPF compare to with OPF, is that the only difference? In terms of tuning, do they make the same 500+ on stage 2 ?

Sterling work mate

I see you’ve gone stage 2 can’t wait to see the video when will it be shown I also have OPF and thinking stage 2 just for the sound as it’s way too quiet

Hey just wondering if both the pre and post face lift models shown share the same fuel delivery system being port and direct injected?

quality videos bro

Tbf I prefer the 2015 model it sees so ready when u buy it unlike the opf you have to upgrade the exhuast and other bits and bobs to make it more exciting but i wouldn't mind either proper dream car ill get one day 🙏

What was your average mpg on the facelift buddy?

Since the market went mad the facelifts are still making near retail madness. Since I sold the M2c I’ve been waiting for these to drop…been a while 😂

Picked my Daza RS3 up last week m8 and I have to say I'm underwhelmed by it, doesn't feel that quick and that 5 pot simply isn't loud enough. Stage 1 or 2 is a must for sure

“Key word is different” 😂😂😂

I would love to see a video of you comparing your RS3 with an M2

Just curious, have you driven a pre-facelift / post-facelift S3? And if so, is there just as much differnce in those cars as there is in the RS models? I'm in Australia and shopping for a car now, with a max budget of around $50,000. The pre-facelift S3's are going for about $35,000 AUD, while the post-facelift S3 and pre-facelift RS3 are both ballpark around the $50,000 mark. What I'm wondering is, in your opinion: a) Is the post-facelift S3 worth the price jump over the pre-facelift model? b) If you had a choice betweenb a pre-facelift RS3 or a post-facelift S3 for the same price, which would you rather?

Brilliant video

Very nice ma sha allah, I sold out and bought a performance Tesla, was considering the rs7.

Im pretty sure the difference in the two is more to do with the electronics in the steering and the revised tuning and bigger turbo!

Lovely video, very educational bro! What would you say is the loudest 2.0 tfsi exhaust? (Stock)

I'd probably not go for either but AWD is great for bad weather

Great video, would like to know more about the engine update between CZGb vs DAZA Vs DNWA, can’t find much info online

The pre facelift one can handle more power because of the metal engine block that’s quite big if you wanna go big on mods

What actually made you go with a new one?

I'd kill to have a shot of one of these

in looks the pre facelift look better

You didn't explain the difference between the exhaust system ....what make the Rs3 8v P.F.L sound savage then the dull sounding Rs3 F.L please explain why

What’s the difference between DAZA & DNWA WHICH engine gives you better power and durability

Can the iron block take more boost compared to the Ali block? Awesome content on an awesome sounding 5 pot👍

yours have almost the perfect spec Hamza with the blackout parts and white color, just need the 19 inch black rotors. I know they are old and used a lot but some of the most beautiful rims of all time and timeless in my opinion. The prefacelift looks almost as good in similar spec (white with black pack) as long as they have the upgraded lights as the one in the video Greetings from Norway

Do you get any wastegate rattle from any of the rs3’s?

@tr hamza you got a road trip and can choose one car what you taking... B7 rs4 or your rs3

I prefer the pre facelift look Tbf

Can someone confirm if the pre facelift 2015 model 8v comes with sports exhaust? Standard with the pops and bangs ? Are the tips black or chrome

More videos on the edition 30

Hi Hamza! Did you do some break-in on your audi? I've taken a delivery of my own RS3 lately, and it's only 300 kms and I do not have a heart to push it like you. What did your advisor said in salon? In Poland they stated that they are already after break-in however in states people say that they are advised to do some break-in for like 1500km. What do you think about it?

Which one to buy 🤔 Difference is about 10% plus in 2nd hand pricing...
