The hunt for my next car begins! I have my first drive in the Audi RS3, and I really enjoyed it... Tune in tomorrow for the next test drive, and of course the main reveal of my new car THIS SATURDAY at 6PM UK TIME!

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

@jonathanperkins4156 4 жыл бұрын

Also , I know you will miss the digital dash from the golf R , so maybe a newer Rs3 with the digital dash .

@pheasantpluckersson2138 4 жыл бұрын

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

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🙉

@welloilbeefhooked4984 4 жыл бұрын

@@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!!!

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. :-)
