In this video, Matt drives 1200 miles in the new Audi S3 to answer the following: Does it feel like a real Audi? Is it worth the money? And should you buy one over a high-spec Golf GTI or Golf R?
Audi provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review. We are sorry it's so dirty on filming day - it rained every day for a week, and we washed it three times, but it got dirty again almost immediately.

I have an S3 on order, after learning no RS3s coming to Canada. Contemplated the new Golf R but can't get past the terrible infotainment system, especially no volume control, delays at startup, most commonly used features being buried in multiple sub menus. I bet VW will redesign that system before a full model refresh is due, given all of the negative press and feedback coming in from reviewers

I started my driving life in a Golf GTI on these norcal roads, it's such a wonderful combination that I never even fully realized just how good these cars are suited for these roads until I got a Miata, thinking it would be an upgrade bcuz RWD, but actually discovered the torque, grip, suspension travel, and FWD balance of a Golf-based car is better on these roads than a sports car.

@@ctm5617 Tell me you don't understand the value of suspension travel on NorCal roads without telling me you don't understand the value of suspension travel on NorCal roads. And to be fair my Miata came with coilovers from a previous owner that are due for a replacement. My point was that a well-tuned FWD-based compact car with suspension travel and grip gets underrated relative to "hurr durr RWD". Also have attended many HPDEs, ran a couple competitive amateur kart championships closer to the front than the back, am competitive in the casual sim racing I do, and know how to push my Miata too; it likes to oversteer and I like catching it. Still miss my GTI across a lot of the roads I drive on, because it genuinely worked better over the pavement and grades we have here in NorCal. So save your snark.

The EA888 motor is a gem. It’s been in use since 2008 in everything from a GTI, S3, Q3, Q5, A4, A5, Tiguan, Passat, GLI… I could go on and on. It’s smooth, refined, torquey, very fuel efficient and durable. VW Group wouldn’t still be using it 14 years later if it wasn’t durable. The one in my ‘10 GTI has been 100% reliable and it has 140K miles. I love it.

The APR Gearbox tune helped on my 2017. With Audi’s factory tuning, comfort mode is way too eco and sport mode holds revs too long. Looks like the Russian River Valley

The OEM DSG tuning in D and S being too lazy/too aggressive respectably has been my biggest complaints with VW DSG products since the start, the one tuned DSG I drove in an early MkV car was a revelation compared to stock. I'm pretty sure he's running southbound on Highway 35 south of Highway 92 in San Mateo County.

100% agree. I found myself in manual in my 2016 any time I was driving unless I was on the highway in top gear. I had a …2019(?) loaner A3 and they’d updated the gearbox tune significantly by then.
