Great review Rory, what Top Gear lost, AutoTrader gained! I test drove this car a few weeks ago (UK), was the exact same spec and colour as this review. Looks more stunning in real life (as a few people said, mini Urus), smaller than you think (which is good), but still spacious inside. Positive: Looks amazing, good space in the back (i'm 6' and i had plenty of room), very comfy throughout, dark unless you go for the sunroof. Engine is great and sounds like an old Quattro rally car, shame they had to remove the down shift pops thanks to crappy EU regulations... The 3D sound system is the best i've ever heard, feel like the sound is in the air, not from the speakers. Loads of options and little detail, such as when you open the door it projects "AUDI Sport" and the 4 rings to the floor, very cool. Negative: Couple of cheap looking plastic bits inside that have no place. As Rory said the gearbox is a little dissappointing, takes a second to kick in to gear, you have to use the paddles to overcome this. Steering is not quite as responsive. Standard suspension hard unless you have the option to soften. But that's about it, not many bad points. Conclusion: I have one on order, just too good. Don't order without the option to change the steering and suspension though, setting the steering to sport and the suspension to soft was perfect. Go for a lighter colour as the detail outside for the RS gets lost on dark cars.

@junaidtahir758 4 жыл бұрын

Heard a lot about the DSG/S-TRONIC gearbox feeling a bit sluggish sometimes or delayed in response. It actually only happens in ECO mode and that’s because it is programmed to delay the throttle response by time in ECO mode. Even manual Volkswagen group cars with ECO mode do it.

@realkewlmann Жыл бұрын

What do you mean eco mode? D? So if I put it in S will it be more responsive? D definitely feels sluggish. Drives in 2nd gear when I want 3rd, when I want it to shift down and go off, it won't, even if I press hard on the acceleration. I don't drive in S much so I cannot comment. I also have a manual VW, I find more joy in it than driving the Audi DSG S tronic

@luciussander8217 9 ай бұрын

Rubbish. Can be hesitant in any mode. I've had in the last five years, TTS, TTRS, RS4 and now new RS3. All were a bit clunky at slow speeds and suffered from a sluggish pick up. Just use the paddles, problem solved.

@troymuni6120 4 жыл бұрын

I have a 2019 RS3 8v (US sedan), same color actually...absolutely love it. Don't be fooled by the power numbers. The DCT + light weight absolutely MAKE this car. The sedan also has deceptively lots of room, so he's telling the truth about this suv having plenty of room. I loaded up my sedan with 2 other adults + 10 year old for a vacation, no problem with everything comfortable. The reviewer in this video doesn't understand that the paddles will over ride the computer instantaneously (think PDK). The delay is like a nanny and circumvented by dropping down a gear. Also, anyone with an Audi that has a DCT should always drive in Dynamic + Sport, or there's no point to this car. Forget every other drive mode unless you setup Individual settings to replicate minus exhaust note. He also doesn't mention that you need to cycle drive modes to get the full exhaust note due to new emissions test protection standards. The DCT with Dynamic, Sport mode set will also save your brakes. The car has no paddle input lag and will downshift just as fast as it upshifts. So won't look like an idiot riding your brakes after quick bursts of acceleration in traffic. I can't stress enough how good it is, especially for anyone commuting in rush hour traffic to get around imbeciles leaving huge gaps in traffic in the left lane. One other thing - add Audicare if you buy anything with the 5cyl engine. Otherwise out of pocket oil changes at Audi will cost you $250 each. Every dealer will throw this in for free if you just ask. Pricing is very negotiable as well if you find one on a high volume dealer lot (for RS models). I netted a 10% discount (before rebates, trade) on a brand new, full loaded 2019 RS3 with free Audicare because it was the lot.

The 5-cylinder is an automotive masterpiece in every sense bar consumption. There is a reason most manufacturers opt for a 2 litre (if that) 4 cylinder, it’s fuel efficient. If you drive this In 300bhp+ mode the fuel consumption will make you weep. Having said that: thank you Audi for not killing it off (-yet).
