The Audi RS3 Sportback is the hot hatch to have if you want maximum power. Now in its second generation, it combines a 362bhp 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder petrol engine with Audi's quattro four-wheel-drive system for an impressive 0-62mph time of 4.3 seconds.

sakoudas Oil consumption is relatively high in the RS3. It's a performance car and the fluids should be checked fairly regularly. It doesn't drink as much oil as cars like the RX8, but high oil consumption is something that a lot of owners do comment on! Hope this helps.

I absolutely LOVE this car. But i am sad that Audi is pricing it so high. We don't have it yet in the US, though im excited to see it in sedan trim, but in dollars it would be around $65-$70k. So a golf R is $39k, audi S3 is $49k but then RS3 $65k ? Thats c63amg / bmw m4/m3 money!!!

@SynQ86
@SynQ86 8 лет назад
+vivalaphill The rs3 engine is not underrated by -20hp like you suggest. lol And it doesnt matter if you get 430hp when you remap an rs3. The rs3 is 15k more expensive (atleast) then the s3 and if you are not filthy rich it's not worth the money over the s3 when a simple remap will give you the same power as the rs3. And tbh, i'll take the s3 over the rs3 anyday simply cause i don't like hatchbacks in the first place.

It's hard to argue with the price by saying £52K for a hatchback! Firstly it's not just a hatchback (the latest is even more powerful), therefore the price reflects that it is a serious bit of kit. Secondly, don't add the options! Speccing any such car, gives an enormous price. The basic price of £40K is realistic for a beautifully finished high performance, very useable car. If you want a vehicle where you skill is supreme, then get a van....and a VW California can be £60K.

@Codestud
@Codestud 9 лет назад
Mirokism Both cars are very similar in size and power, and the new RS also has a more toned down look than the previous version. In theory, the perceived "image" is the only other differentiator, but even bankers and posh people will buy a Ford if it suits them, since being rich doesn't necessarily mean you have forgotten about value for money.
@ralentinovossi8081
@ralentinovossi8081 9 лет назад
***** It really depends on what's important to you. If a banker wants to travel to and from work in a nice luxurious interior then the Focus RS is already out of the question. If you look at them from a technical perspective then yes they are similar, but in the real world they offer completely different things to different people.
@Kryotek7
@Kryotek7 9 лет назад
***** as someone who's got a Golf R DSG due for delivery next month the gearbox was a major selling point. Ford, Honda, Peugeot, etc are way behind on getting proper dual clutch systems in their top models. This left me a choice of Merc, BMW, VW/Audi/Seat. Also from a styling perspective the RS is far too boy racer for me, I'm 32 and there's no way I'd want it sat on my driveway even though I quite like it. It's just too extreme and I don't want the mid-life crisis jokes.

Nice review as usual Mat! I've got one on order, but with Audi themselves reckoning that most buyers will opt for around £8,000 of options the cost can really mount up. I could only justify the price I paid by selecting to spend only a small amount on options, for what is essentially still an A3.

@carbuyer
@carbuyer 9 лет назад
CK Leong Launch control sets the car rolling in the quickest, most consistent way. It's basically an additional rev limiter that holds the car at a specific RPM while the driver is at full throttle. 4,000rpm is a pretty common number, but it varies depending on the engine and whether there's a turbo (holding it at 4,000rpm helps generate boost). As soon as you come off the brake, all that lovely power goes to the wheels!

Carbuyer Appreciated for your explanation. This 4000rpm , is it applies to most cars? Can I do it with my A45 amg or mazda cx5?

+CK Leong if your car has launch control the computer would do it all for you , if it doesn't you've gotta figure it out on your own, 4000 is a good starting point.

+koyuki4848 Thanks for the clarification. I think A45 has it, but I heard keep using launch control is not good for the car. I have seen some people launch with 3000 or 5000 too, but more often to see people launch with 4000 and I was wondering why :)

it is like paddle shifters, a cool tech to have and show off once in a while or when u just got a new car, but for daily drive probably won't use it :)

surely the golf R and the latest S3 are more evenly matched at 300bhp. My s3 does the job just fine for me can't really see the point in another 10 grand for another 60 odd bhp..
