Great video as always. Always enjoy them but a few corrections: 1) 5:42 Auto mode - there is nothing adaptive about this mode. It's just Audi's weird choice of words for what others call "normal". 2) 10:30 Audi quotes 0-60 of 3.8 seconds for this model 3) 13:43 Dynamic steering is a standalone option. It does not come with the Dynamic Package, which imo is an absolute must for this car as it softens the ride in comfort/auto and makes a huge difference in the sport for canyon/track driving.

Great review. I think it really comes down to use-case. If you're tracking regularly, the M3 would make more sense. However for day to day or long distance commutes, the RS5 strikes a very good compromise. I suspect most M3 owners don't push their vehicles to the point where the handling dynamics are that much better or more noticeable.

It’ll be interesting to see how they update the interior for the next gen, I’m hoping that the exterior will look just as good as it does now. If I had the money for this or an S5 I’d probably stick with the S5, seems like it would be a bit more comfortable to live with and the 3L V6 honestly sounds better than this one.

Nice Review. I picked up one of these a month ago. I agree, the sound is the limiting factor. Audi does not pump in the same level of fake audio into the cabin like BMW does. Which I appreciate. My solution was to get a resonator enhancer kit from Audi. It makes the car sound amazing now.

the BMW is probably the best in the segment I would personally get the csl grill which makes the car look even more aggressive and just better looking overall. Then I would get a opf delete and downpipes to make the car sound amazing and it will transform the car even more but, other than that its perfect the way it is perfect the way it is. If i was you get the m3 comp x drive because there is so many things you can do to it and you can even switch it to rwd to make you have more fun.

The power difference is significant, and the RS customization is pretty solid. Styling is pretty similar, so if that's more important, you can save the $ and get the S5

@MilesPerHr How is the power difference significant? Maybe on paper it is. I had an S5 Sportback, and they are much closer than you think, especially at higher speeds. The only place where the RS5 can do a little better is the 0-60 with launch, but besides that, the rolling figures at higher speeds aren't that far apart as one would think.

@DMCarReviews Жыл бұрын

Having a hard time deciding on getting a used RS5 or save about 10 grand and get a brand new m340i fully loaded exactly how I want it. I know the RS is a bit quicker but I’m not that hung up on straight line speed and I don’t plan to go to the track or do much twisty road driving. And that B58 can make a ton of power with minimal mods if I ever do want to go fast but the RS5 can dip into the 2’s 0-60 with just an E85 tune. I’m trying to suppress the “which one is faster” factor and focus on which one is a better place to be on Highway drives and traffic/city commutes which is where I do 98% of my driving.

Very nice video. I have the 2022 Carbon Black model (in the UK). Coming from a RS6 I was contemplating the dynamic suspension. In the end I said no. My RS6 (2013 model which I had until 2022 having done 139,000 miles !!) was great and had this suspension set up. The V8 engine was still mint after all these miles, but the suspension failed big time. So going for something fixed was my choice. Overall would have like the variation and the fixed set up is a little on the hard side, but overall the RS5 rocks !
