👋 Are you looking for a performance focused daily drivable sedan? The new Audi RS3 is certainly a very performance focused car! 8Y Audi RS3 is the newest generation for the iconic RS3 and this packs a unique inline 5 cylinder turbo engine with about 400 horsepower. Of course you'll find Audi's Quattro all wheel drive system and a dual clutch transmission. The RS3 is also capable of 0-60 time in 3.3 seconds using launch control! This is one fast car and a blast to drive! But what about using this for the day to day? Contrary to what some people think, everyone owing an RS3 is actually daily driving these. Nobody actually buys a car like this for strictly performance use. So in todays video I talk about how you can best drive the Audi RS3 for the daily driving. How the drive modes effect the car and what mode works best to drive comfortably and if you need a bit of power, what should you do? Also we get a lot of comments on turbo lag in the 8Y RS3. So in this video I talk about how you can better drive this car and not really feel turbo lag. Overall the RS3 is a fine daily driver. We really have no complaints and have zero interest in owning a boring basic car. The RS3 is super comfortable and relaxing to rack up the miles with. It's also a spacious car for us and we can fit big grocery trips in it. We of course do love the performance and it's fun to go from boring driving to fast driving with one touch of a button! Watch this video before you plan to buy an Audi RS3 as your daily! These tips will help you better understand how each drive mode configuration car work.

When I want instant power, I hold the left shift paddle for 2 seconds (any mode at any speed), and the transmission downs shifts to the lowest possible gear, providing max boost 😉

@BrosFOURRSpeed 29 дней назад

Oh cool. I’ll have to try that!

@Grenzo_ 16 дней назад

Great video! I’ve watched almost every video about the RS3, but I learned a few things that I didn’t know about the drive modes in this one. It would be awesome if your wife shared some things she doesn’t like about it. Women highlight things that we often overlook and my wife will be driving our RS3 as well when we get it.

@joanhernandezciriza3797 Месяц назад

its not turbo lag, its turbo spool. Lag is the time the turbo takes to recieve input from when you press the accelerator. Ive had the 8v and currently own the 8y. Believe me lag is very low. The problem with this engine is that it takes 4k plus rpm to get the turbo spooling properly. This is down to having a low displacement engine with a big turbo thus giving it that awesome character at high rpm. They would be able to fix this issue if audi were to equip this vehicle with an electric turbo.

@adrianlepique Месяц назад

Agree 100%. I owned an 8Y RS3 for a while, and the spool time was a dealbreaker for me as a daily. Off the line it took forever to get access to full power/torque, and when not on a track you were basically in jail land before you got the full send feeling. Great car, just not for me personally as I like more instantaneous torque if I'm going for a turbo motor.

@JVette01 29 дней назад

@@adrianlepique I agree 100% with you as an 8Y RS3 owner

@speeddemon311 29 дней назад

@adrianlepique Spool time just makes the car that much more fun and exciting because there's a lot of character in the power delivery and it never feels slow to me even when I'm taking off!! Furthermore, I have the M240i as well with the B58 and instant torque at 1500 rpm feels boring in comparison and doesn't feel nearly as fast either! I'm glad I had the M240i first because now I know I like the opposite of what you're after because of the build-up and fun factor in the RS3!

Hey thanks for the video! Changing the suspension in RS Individual to comfortable made a massive difference.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 29 дней назад

@colnagog6026 29 дней назад

"DSC Sport" makes a replacement damper control module. You can use it to reprogram the dampening parameters. I used it in my 981 GT4. Went from wanting to sell the car in the first week because the suspension was too harsh over the mildest road imperfections, to buying stiffer springs, for 100% street driving, as a semi-daily.

@JVette01 29 дней назад

Great video man! In my RS3, I felt it was too sluggish and slow and comfort/auto and way too aggressive in dynamic or RS performance. No happy medium for a daily. At WOT, the car is nice though.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 29 дней назад

Yeah try just S mode for the transmission and see how that goes. It’s definitely an aggressive car overall

@speeddemon311 29 дней назад

@BrosFOURRSpeed It's really up to how you drive the car and learning the characteristics of the engine and dsg! I think people rarely dislike the power delivery based on a thousand reviews, but I will add that even a reviewer I won't name said he much preferred the drama in power delivery compared to the new M240i xdrive, and it made it feel much faster and more exciting when full power kicks in!

Tuned S3 or RS3 what’s the better daily? I have a stage 2 8V.5 S3 and I love it but I would love to own an RS3 one day.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 27 дней назад

S3 is a blast for sure a a bit more relaxed. So it has some aspects that make it a better daily. But RS3 is a big step up in performance tho

@dash-kt7uf 18 дней назад

I have a 800hp fully built hybrid turbo rs3, no difference to stock in comfort mode but savagely fast in dynamic - not anymore laggy than stock in dynamic either

@spinnetti 16 дней назад

Tuned S3 is just as fast and spools quicker, but unless you get the brand new one, you don't have the trick rear end. I loved my stage II+ S3, but sold it to get a manual transmission GR Corolla. I'd like an RS3, but can't justify the $. For that money, get a used first Gen R8 (That's what I did anyway). So I have the R8 to really zoom, and the GR as a grocery getter.

@zaksampson8445 2 дня назад

Foot to the floor in Comfort should activate the kickdown switch no? I have a 2018 RS3 and I'm pretty sure if I was in comfort and fully put the accelerator to the floor, it would downshift right away and have all the power ready. It wouldn't shift down/set off as quickly as it would in dynamic as it wasn't expecting it, but I'm 99% it would be giving all it's power/boost as quickly as possible. Or are these newer ones different? Would find it dangerous if foot to the floor didn't give all the power in it's comfort setting after usually driving it in dynamic.

@BrosFOURRSpeed День назад

It does that when you step on it like that. But it's still a tad delayed since it's usually in a higher gear. S mode keeps the revs more ideal to not have to downshift to get optimal power

good videos, your take on the RS3 is that it is kinda meh. am i right? try driving it on a good twisty track, i think you will change your mind! My 2025 will be here in the spring, wish i could pick it up in Germany and take it to the Ring !

@annenominous7220 7 дней назад

before I bought the RS3, as a fourth car, i had a long and hard internal debate on what i really wanted... at my low experience level on the track, I wanted a freaking super safe car that wasn't going to get me killed! My performance driving instructors steered me to the RS3. I think using it has a daily is the problem, it is really a track car that masquerades as a daily. A better daily is the S5, which my wife has... in comfort it is smooth as glass.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 7 дней назад

I don't think I've ever said that this is a 'meg' kind of car. This specific video is all about the quirks with using it as a daily driver. I get a lot of comments from owners who complain about some of its raw characteristics and how they can better drive it for the day to day. Here's my full review on this car where I talk about how it's one of the best sport sedans you can buy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kZSq4z7IIzM.html

@BrosFOURRSpeed 29 дней назад

B9 is better dynamically and a more sophisticated platform overall. RS3 is still on the A3 bones. I had a highly modifed S3, and it was a frikking weapon, but the handling just never satisfied despite heroic grip and lots and lots of money spent on it.

The fact that the GTI has more customization for the dampers is pretty criminal. Also might be able to get more with an OBD11? Since it’s still the golf shared chassis I believe.
