Just don’t understand why you only have 13k subs. Another great review
You're reviews are probably the best on the KZhead, ace. I used them to help me make a decision between a 420d or a 430d, after I'd already narrowed it down from including Golf GTDs and Focus STs... I went for the 430d and I am very happy with it. Thank you for your reviews, keep it up, they make for good viewing and are very knowledgeable. P.S. you're not alone, the Audi 5-pots do something to me too! 🤣
Your videos man are 👌 i don’t know why everyone from car space not following you
My pre fl doesn’t under steer anymore, 25mm rear arb, Haldex controller PS4s left foot braking enabled and geo setup towards oversteer by string theory and obd11 to code it all out and off she’s wild now 👌🏼
Really wanted to buy the cupra you had on your website recently but insurance really do just want to kill all younger peoples dreams 😭 anyway great video. The 530d was amazing
cant wait to buy it pre opf model i hope i will controll myselfe cause this thing sounds amazing
Nice in-depth review for anyone interested to purchase 👍. Just for completeness though the brakes upfront are 8- pot calipers not 6..
Would love to see a golf 7.5 gti performance with the 7 speed dsg
Would be very interesting to hear your take on an Alfa Giulia veloce (280bhp) or a Jag XE S (380bhp). Great reviews btw.
beautiful car!
Would love to see an i30n on the channel
i20n too
Yeah, I’ve had both the original manual I30N from launch and the DCT model. Amazing cars. Would love to see it featured on your channel. Be interested to see the 30-70 time.
@@crocoman776how did you find the DCT i30N? I was looking at getting one but everyone says to get the manual if looking at i30N
I watched your original videos on an RS3 and it tempted me into buying one. Had it 7 months now a Daza Car and with the sunroof on tilt the noise is truly astonishing. I absolutely adore it. What a car it is.
That feel when your DAZA has no sunroof so you have to lower the windows to enjoy the sound to the fullest 😢
Any problems so far in it? Besides basic maintenance
@@malachi7208 bug in the ECU software in cold temperatures. Update at the dealer fixes it.
@@malachi7208 not much tbh mate! A window stopped working, it has a squeaky exhaust valve and the window trims have corroded but mechanically very, very good. Window was fixed under extended warranty but the rest I will do when I get a chance. Bought on 45k and now on 56k and it’s phenomenal. What a great car
@@AnoNym-zi5ty What is this bug? Feel i’ve not encountered this haha
Nice video my friend however i want to just point correct a statement on your video that the daza with the pre particulate filter is faster than the new model dnwa 8y. The new 8y gaps the 8v by a car in a 1/4 mile. That just because audi put more boost. I agree the 8v pre particulate filter version sounds better amd the filters are a restriction. I so prefer the daza cam shaft in honesty. The new 8y which is the 2022 model as a whole is a much better drive which has drift mode and no more under steer. Its a different animal
do a review on the M340i please
Have you ever reviewed a 2015 era RSQ3? Cheapest way to get into an rs3
Need to drive an 8y on the channel
Have a 2019 M140i at the moment, but I can't help but want a 2017/2018 Rs3. How do you feel it compares to the BMW overall?
i'd only buy the rs3 if i could have that and a m140i
He does it handle compared to a lighter, stage 1 cupra? I have a stage 1 cupra now and this is a logical step up
The cupra is a bit lighter on its toes but the RS3 is definitely a step up. The 5 cylinder engine alone makes it worth it in my opinion.
Same
Do you need the mag ride option with these in your opinion please?
not essential but a nice to have.
Is the m140i more fuel efficient than this? Really want an m140
yes
What tyres are on this RS3 because I believe that matters just as much?
Pirelli P-Zero
Correction to your comment in the video that the 2018 model (8v) rs3 being faster than the 2022 model (8y). Sadly the new rs3 has opf filters but due to the slightly increased boost, it's faster than the previous gen.
I was talking about the 2019 rs3 not the new one. In 2019 they added an OPF to the 8v rs3 which made it slower.
@@ParagonCarsLondon ah is that the 8v.2. when they brought in the OPF and killed the full
First 🎉
🥇🎉
Just like the M140i a licence loser 😢😂 another great review 👍
One question how is the engine reliability i heard early cars they had oil consuption probles.... piston rings worn out falt from the manufactor vw and audi but i don't know how is this one or it is just a beast :) ? And one more question you are many car reviewer i am wondering which car to buy bmw m3 /m3 comp 2016-2018 or audi rs3 mk3 like this one 2017/18 ? thank you for anwser :)
50k miles and no problems so far on 2017.
Done 214k km on mine and I still dont have problems (2017 model)
@@christianbruschetta4986 problem solved then i guess
RS3's are like typical top trumps cars. People who could never afford one, and/or don't really understand how to drive to any level, think they are the ultimate vehicle. I drove a few to see what I felt about them, and being honest, I thought they were numb, predictable, and just safe and boring. The sort of car you can launch to 60 in under 4 seconds, with one hand on the wheel. Traffic light grand prix posers love them. I found a slower car which had much better steering feedback, much better balance, and was simply MUCH more fun to drive. There was another bonus too, it looked much nicer, a 2 door coupe instead of a dumpy hatchback. And the 6 cylinder engine sounded nicer than the farty 5 pot. OG M2 all day every day, and twice on Sundays.
Shame a B58 M140i is better than your OG M2 eh
@@zak4531 It depends how you define 'better' .... My last car was an M140i. I had it for 4 years, there are videos on my channel featuring it. I spent a few thousands modifying and tuning it, and in a straight line it was a missile (455bhp/634nm). No matter how much money you spend on them, they are still just a 118i m sport chassis underneath. The B58 engine is brilliant, and the ZF8 was brilliant too with xHP3. The rest of the car, very average. Great as a daily driver, comfortable and pretty economical. The OG M2 is on another level, even if it's not as quick in a straight line, as it is totally standard, but the steering feel, the chassis feedback, handling, cornering, damping, the balance, completely on another level. My old M140i would not see which way this went on a twisty B road. M2 is much better looking, and the sound is actually nice than the B58. So no, I don't think an M140i is 'better', and seeing as I owned both, I am exactly the person to ask for an honest opinion. What cars have you owned ???
@@DjNikGnashersdamn you killed him😂
@@05vauxhallastra Still waiting for his reply lol, might get one in another 5 years when he passes his driving test hey matey !
@@DjNikGnashersyour M2 auto or manual?
They didn’t lose value for years until I bought one In June for 40k and it’s now worth 32k I would say 😢sad times
Bro farted at 4:05
4:04 little fart?
deffo not 😂👀
You need a 8y as that’s way faster than all predecessors
Watch Carwow drag race, you will see you are wrong.
My friends 18 plate rs3s diff blew after a basic roll on, may have a nice engine but they arent built to last 😂😂😂
That’s surprising, did he service the diff?
@@ParagonCarsLondon he tuned it and even got the diff replaced and now the car is on limp mode, one minute it wants to unleash its stage 2 power and the next minute it's stationary 😂
You can’t really blame the Audi if he’s gone stage 2 car wasn’t designed for that
@@stephenpearson8720 na but then he got some other diff that was from a brand I forgot but big in the tuned cars scene and that got broken easily asw so idk, saying that he's got another rs3 anyway and a m3 m5 and m340 so it's not really a big loss lol
