2018 Audi RS3 Review | Sideways Sid 

The only man to take a rs3 sideways 😂 rated 💯

All praise the 5 Cylinder soundtrack 🎵

The ending shot with the front bumper mounted camera was perfect. Great mic placement on the rear as well. Would love to see more segments like that! Great work.

Wicked video sid, car control is level 100

Mate, seriously you should have 10x the subscriber amount with content of this caliber. Scratch that -100x.

Sid can we have a video dedicated to car control, you make it look so easy to get a little oversteer!

Where the hell did this guy come from? I'm blown away, this is brilliant. you just came with 20 years of experience of car reviews from the start? keep it up and good luck you have a new subscriber.

How you get a front-biased AWD car to do angles like that on tarmac is beyond me. Amazing. Nice to see the RS3 with a few less of the options too - smaller wheels, standard seats etc. Great video Sid

One of the best reviews available. Presented with a love for the machine.

From an RS3 owner, love the vid

I'm a simple man. I see a car sideways in the thumbnail in a sideway sid vid, I click it.

Wow, I really thought you were on your way to an accident in that first clip! Awesome control and belief in the car..like you said "110% commitment". Love that Viper green colour with the black pack..sexy! I find my S3 sometimes scares me with its B road covering pace..I suddenly see the speedo and get very nervous..dread to think how many months inside you'd get for driving an RS3 to its full potential!!😲

Ive owned my 2018 RS3 saloon for a number of years now and I still come back to this video to remind me how to drive it.

"Unlock the RS3 Da Vinci Code" - Top review, I love it. Keep making these great videos :) The way cars are meant to be driven!

Best RS3 2018 review on youtube mate 😉

Another solid video mate, did you know that 140 owner at the end or was that total coincidence haha

You have some balls drifting round those roads! The amount of cars I've seen in the wallasea ditches is mad, crazy good driving skills!!!

More front camera + exhaust sound driving clips!

The last part of the video is banging, thanks!

I _still_ just want the engine... Oh, and that beautiful green paint!

M140i did not want to *party*

Pleeeease audi. Never stop producing the 5 cyl. It reminds me of my fathers volvo 850 turbo from 95. Glorious.

Dude, so subbed. I love looking at the Audi S3/RS3 reviews (Shame they are all the sedan body, not the hatch, bigger fan of the hatch-shape imo) and I think you are the first reviewer that hasn't whined about understeer and the front feeling heavy in the corners. Big props to you for knowing how to drive the car *properly*.

Not even Tiff Nedell could get an RS3 sideways. Good work. Great video. Really distills the essence of this great car

This color was so undersold. Such a fantastic color. I wish more OG owners would have specced it.

That m140i at the end did not want any of that did he 😂

The ending was magnificent! No one yet gave me the real sound when lilfting the throttle, slamming the throttle and idling in 1 shot...thts a thumbs up for me! =)

The production quality of this video is superb!!!

Really enjoyed this video Sid! Love the camera angle at the end.

hahah I've never seen anybody driving it like that 😂👌 brilliant

The sound this thing makes is insane

Wow dude, just stumbled upon your channel.. you and your reviews are addictive. I totally get Chris Harris vibes!

Some beautiful roads! Looks like I need to take a trip to Rochford!

Great video as always mate! always amazed by the mad driving skills you have!

You have to tell everyone how you threw that sideways, Sid. Spectacular! For the life of me i can't do it, and end up 'correcting' what quickly feels like a bad idea to begin with. The car loves to stick to the road. Haven't seen anyone else make it drift like that.

Who said you can’t drift a Quattro 🏁👍 Got That Much torque in my Audi that if I give it to much gas on the corners my back end will break traction big time..But it’s a good thrill! Great video 👍

I wish my S1 sounded like that! What a sound!

The front bumper camera views are something else could watch it all day...great work 👍

Thank you so much for this upload. I'm seriously considering a RS3, and I think maybe this video made my choice final. Great footage, great production. Hope you keep this up!

I enjoy your videos immensely Sid. Can't believe you don't have a larger following!

It took me nearly a year of driving the pre facelift RS3 to get the back end out. Da Vinci Code indeed!

This review is 10/10. It's rare that you have someone actually talk about driving dynamics at 10/10th effort. For the real drivers. Most reviewers I think only go to 9/10ths. Even the big names on tracks.

Bro best car RU-vid channel hands down!

Kills me to see an RS3 in poverty spec! Great video though Sid, the quality has increased so much recently!

Much obliged Mr. Sid for the stellar review and soundtrack. I've borrowed 9:30-9:45 for my new ringtone.

The sound of that 👌👌 Beats my little 1L ten fold

First person ive seen chucking it like that. Completely sold on one now cheers mate of to look at one later this week

That thumbnail confused my brain. RS3 sideways just something you dont see

Thanks letting us enjoy the sound at the end. Very nice vid. Saw one of these during my commute and had to look it up.

What a thumbnail!

I'm starting to like this fella

I’m getting Chris Harris vibes here...I like it

Hi Sid! Very very interesting review! I liked a lot the focus on the steering weight, damping etc. Sort of Car Geek aspect 😂😉 Congrats also with Thomas for the quality! Keep up the fantastic work Mate! 💪🏻

Dude, you are killing it. I just happened upon your GT4 video and after that transitioned to this one. Outfuckingstanding. Subscribed.

How come nobody thought of that before, mount the camera up front. Well done 👍

Excellent video, mate! Amazing quality and visuals!👏🏻 RS3 is my dream car - I hope I can get one in the future!😍🤞🏻

Great vid, finally love these Audi RS beasts, the last 2-3 especially they have been on point :-) like you say it’s insane how much power and what 0-60 you now get in this current gen of hot hatches it’s insane !

Just happened to be watching this when I realised you were driving on my local roads around Wallasea in Essex. Great car and nice review👍

My days! I wondered where the epic piece of road was, so I tried taking a screenshot of the pub. But I couldn’t workout the name. Then I found where it was with the road name. Nearly 30 years ago a younger me probably drove down that same road. It’s where I grew up 😂

From now on you should drive nothing but Audi.....I am *_Audiwan Kenobi_* and I approve this message!

Such a sick video. Love the colour on that 3 too!

Amazing car and great video! That sound... OMG nothing like it out there. Its half the cylinders of the R8 and sounds somehow just as good!

Gotta say, not many have the balls to provoke the RS3 and flick it sideways into a corner. It just has soo much grip. Well done mate. :)

Reminds me of Chris Harris on cars #ANatural

I’ve just realised this is Canewdon! Sid how have I not seen you on the road 😂 I always used them for a spirited my F80 and now my RS3 saloon!

*this car is bonkers man, another cracking video*

Perfect drive as always, congratulations from Belgium!

Great vid. And well done for getting the rs3 back end out, impressive...lol. I have one, it’s awesome

6:22 that skid is just pure art

Sensational noise. Sensational video 👏🏻 keep up the good work Sid!

Very nice video! Found your video by accident... but I will be checking out your other stuff!

opening shot is sick!

I’ve gotten my RS3 sideways lol. But nothing close to how you got it haha! I first watched this before I got mine. Now after nearly a year of owning it, I absolutely love it! I also do agree with you on it making you go in to a corner quickly. And covering ground rapidly.

Even rasier to select drive modes by using (programmed) asterix button on steering wheel. 😊

That does look a good car and the 5cyl is one of the best engines out there.

Good video. Very, very similar style to Chris Harris but still enjoyed.

Great segment at the end with the exhaust sound 👍👌

"running P zero tires which help with the 4 wheel drive" LOL WUT

Thought I recognised that road, then you pulled a u turn at the shepherd and dog! don’t run me over next Sunday I’ll be out on my bike.

Love the overtaking of m140i

Fuck me the best....THE BEST review of the RS3 to date. Bravo sir. Bravo.. Your eyes when your ripping this beast is just pure concentration.

Just bought my 2019 Nardo Grey RS3 sedan. Fully loaded with every option possible. I feel that it is the best all around sports car on the market currently. Gives me a huge smile every time I’m behind the wheel. Beat a brand new corvette stingray from a dig 0-80 mph by 3 car lengths. What more can you ask for with 4 doors?

"AlL AuDi'S UndErSTEer"

The novelty of having a fast car has all gone, even manufactures like Kia have fast cars with the simple recipe of bolting on a turbo, fit some pops and bang exhaust, bingos. The bastardisation of turbochargers means monster bhp and torque but I cannot help to feel that the true essence of sports cars are being lost in all these fake engine / exhaust sound fast cars. A sports car is about soulful character of the engine rather than outright power. In contemporary cars the pursuit for power have left behind the true meaning of a sports car. Sid the Sharp content and objective review of your channel is top notch. #NA4Life

8:50 Till 10:00 best part of the video for sure

Superb review! I hope to see an M2 vid from you one day...

that opening clip!! great vid!

get audi to loan you the TTRS , I've owned both and the TTRS is another level

How do you get to drive down these quiet roads? I never see so much as a van or lorry pass in the opposite direction. Nice video by the way.

Jesus Chris that last shot had me hovering my foot near an imaginary brake pedal. Worse than being a passenger with my other half. Absolutely mad driving ability.

My dream car 😍

Did you use a different camera to your other videos? Also the colour grading is superb. Fantastic videography.

front bumper cam genius

Excellent vid. Car looks amazing. Hope to get one next year.

I hope Audi doesn't stop producing the 5 cylinder engine within the next 10 yrs... Are there ant particular great driving roads in the UK you visit Sid? E.g. Evo Triangle, Breacon Beacons, Old Military Road, Glenshee etc

The RS3 is simply put a beautiful musical instrument that happens to be very quick.

Great drive and review if we talk about rs3 you can make handles even better just less negative camber on rear and more on front 😉😊

Teach me the way master Sid

Excellent video. Where did you shoot this the roads look like good fun?

Great review, Fantastic car and nice watch!
