So then is it worth spending the extra cheddar to get the full fat RS3 over the S3 yeah and it’s not just because of that engine let me tell you why my name’s Tom and you’re watching Paragon cars let’s Go Now although the engine isn’t the whole story obviously in this case it does play quite a big part so let’s go through that first this particular Audi S3 is a 2019 model so it’s equipped with the petrol particulate filter that means it no longer has 310 horsepower but only

300 it still has the same amount of torque though at 400 NTM on the other hand the RS3 has no filter and is putting out the full fat 400 horsepower and 480 Newt M of torque it was destined to have from a factory shall we see what

These two can manage on the 30 to 70 Sprint yeah Let’s scores on the doors then and obviously the RS3 is the quicker car it managed 3.4 seconds compared to the S3’s 4.15 both fast but once that RS3 is on Boost it is gone yeah that 5-cylinder engine really is something special now if you want to see Interiors I’ll put

Some links up in the top right hand corner for you now but today we’re going to get straight out on the road and see how they compare on the streets of Britain let’s go right then S3 up first and this is a very nice S3 to be in as it has mag ride

Suspension now in the review of The Saloon I did a while ago someone pointed out that you actually get mag ride as standard on the saloons and they were right you do indeed get mag rid as standard and uh I didn’t know that and that’s a really good option to have

Because it makes the ride very Supple in Comfort mode it’s actually more comfortable than a regular A3 I would say because it’s controlled but it feels very expensive very sophisticated you can see the A3 in front of us it kind of pogos a bit this

Doesn’t do any of that it just kind of waffs which is very nice especially for a hot hatch anyway the reason we’re starting with the S3 first is you kind of always want to finish on a high I suppose and the RS3 is definitely a high and uh we’ll

Get into more of why that is and it’s not just the engine there is more to it than that but the engine is certainly a big part of it anyway the S3 driving around town obviously with mag ride it’s very comfortable steering’s nice and light

And it’s just it’s a very easy car to drive nice but also very easy you know the best way to describe this for me would be it’s not so much a hot hatch as it is just a really nice sophisticated car that just happens to

Be quite quick as well and the engine in this thing I think do you know what I I think this is actually my favorite 2 L engine because it’s just got effortless torque low down you’re never really waiting for Boost to come in which is one thing you uh certainly

Are waiting for in the RS3 anyway coming out of Junctions start stop won’t come on because I got the wheel on full lock but give it a half rutle you got the hdex based Quattro system that just grips and goes and again you’re not really waiting for power even though it’s a heavily

Turbo charged 2 L engine it’s a very smooth very nice driving experience and the thing is even though this has got a dual clutch gearbox this is a slightly less strong should I say gearbox well it’s a different gearbox the one that’s in the RS3 that’s got the dq500 which is

A bit of a a beefier seven-speed dual clutch this has got the DQ 381 I believe someone might correct me on that but I believe it is the dq381 which is another seven-speed dual clutch uh transmission but it’s just very smooth uh especially in traffic it

Doesn’t jerk about at all just a a really really good gearbox I think it’s actually smoother than the zf8 speeed gearbox in my BMW m140i uh and that’s mainly to do with uh mapping or coding sorry I know a zf8 speeed gearbox in something like a BMW X5 is unbelievably smooth buttery smooth

Even but the Dual clutch gearbox in this is marvelous really really nice un whil the steering is nice and light it’s still fairly sharp two turns lock to lock which is nice it is just lacking in a bit of feel though which is typical Audi stuff and uh one thing that’s also

Typical Audi is the seats very comfortable absolutely lovely I can reach the armrests with my elbows fairly easily but the downside is I’m just sitting too high up I’m actually slouched down in the seat if I sit normally you can kind of see my head’s just a little bit in the ceiling but

Doing a review I kind of have to sit like this which is a bit pant really not super comfortable and it’s a shame if the seat was just an inch lower you would have literally the perfect driving position but because you’re sitting a just a little bit higher up doesn’t really feel

Like you’re sitting in the car what also doesn’t help is the seats don’t have um adjustable bolsters like the BMW 1 series does so you kind of move around a bit in the bz which I can demonstrate in a second actually before I demonstrate that let’s

Reset our trip computer see what kind of MPG we can get on the motorway this car is quoted to do 47.1 MPG on the extra Urban cycle and I do believe that actually this engine this ea8 2 L engine is is a masterpiece loads of power very

Good economy for the power even the size it’s got very good economy anyway let’s uh take this thing round around about and see what I mean about the uh seats all righty then let’s use our favorites button to change our drive mode into Dynamic this will stiffen up the suspension because we

Have mag rde sharpen the gear box drops a gear makes the steering stiffer and sharpens up the throttle response it also makes the cotri system just that little bit more aggressive by sending a little bit more power to the outside rear wheel anyway let’s have a gandas of

The handling of this thing and see what I mean about the seats yeah you kind of start to fall out of them yeah you forget how quick this thing is sometimes even in third gear plant your foot and it’s just instant torque Instant Power even in fourth gear

Not waiting for Boost at all really pretty much instant it’s got a lot of performance for a 2 L engine and remember this is stock these engines can quite happily handle north of 500 horsepower with just a little bit of fettling or sorry should I say it’ll

Happily handle 400 to 500 horsepower if you go above 500 you do need to add things like Forge pistons and stuff or just replace the Pistons when they break but yeah the seats they don’t really hold you in that much which is not great and yeah more about the favorites

Button because in Audi’s now you have to get the RS car to be able to change drive mode with the favorites button don’t know why they’ve gotten rid of that it’s quite annoying um in the newer cars if you’ve just got a normal one and you just want to quickly flick it into

Dynamic you have to go through touch screens oh it’s just terrible or is this just a button and a very nice button as well it’s clicky Audi are getting rid of a lot of their nice clicky buttons which I don’t really Like yeah in terms of sound it’s it’s lackluster honestly this is a OPF gpf ppf petrol particulate filter fitted car and you don’t really hear a lot you don’t really get many burbles from the exhaust don’t really get get DSG farts it’s just yeah it’s a bit pant you definitely need

To get a resonator deleting this thing to just open up the sound a bit obviously if you do remove the filter you’re then technically breaking the law so it’s like you know do you go for a 19 plate car I don’t know hopefully a res delete is enough anyway enough waffling on the

Motorway this thing is absolutely amazing especially with the mag ride it just makes the car honestly cruise control on car stays dead straight doesn’t tram line anywhere which means it’s not trying to find little dips in the road sometimes when you have cars with a higher camber they can sometimes

Kind of hunt little dips in the road cuz it wants to turn into a corner this just wants to stay dead straight and just do 155 mph all day long typical Audi stuff really but yeah the suspension I mean it’s just Leaps and Bounds ahead of most

Other cars in this segment I mean you can’t even compare it to a BMW 1 series of this generation I mean like the the rear wheeel drive generation is just not even close to this kind of suspension the suspension on this is just insanely good you know I’d argue it’s actually

Better than something like a BMW 5 series it really is that good so comt able like even these little lines in the road barely feel them at all bigger undulations in the road as well I mean just barely come through into the cabin and road noise even

Though we’re on 19in Wheels is very low wind noise is very low as well it’s a car you can absolutely destroy miles in because it’s just really well built this generation of Audi S3 and the RS3 actually are just built to a stand that I don’t really

Think they do anymore but even the sound system the bno sound system in this is better than the bno sound system in the newer car why I don’t know it is weird though but yeah turning into a corner like this it’s all right you know it feels

Fairly composed you can feel the chassis itself itself is very rigid actually uh obviously in Comfort the suspension is very soft but it’s still you know you can still feel the inside rear wheel lifting just a touch you know it’s not like a um hyai Hyundai i30n where it lifts the inside rear

Wheel basically around every single corner but this one you know it feels a little hot hatch here which is nice anyway let’s now get on the motorway see what kind of MPG we can manage check how we moving with division in mind I’m low side with my on division with slime

Been making plays I’m F to Dish my dime I feel my pocket vibrating that’s your on the line uh check how I’m living with the vision in mind I’m low side with my on division with slime you trying to hit me got to get in the line better go and

Get you some business instead of dipping in M all righty then so today we managed 36 mpg which I know isn’t the best figure in the world but there was a bit of traffic today which did hinder our PR ress and skewed the figures somewhat I

Know for a fact though this thing will easily do over 40 m per gallon on a long journey uh if not a bit more and round Town you’ll do about 28 MPG obviously if there’s a bit of traffic on the motorway you’ll get about 38 shall I say you can see it’s still

Going up I zoom in with my face there you go um but yeah it’s definitely going to be more efficient than the RS3 by how much I don’t know but we’re comparing them on the same day so this is as scientific as it gets anyway talking about science let’s

Do some driving science and see how this thing handles right then backing Dynamic traction control off let’s see how this S3 handles mag ride goes into a very surprisingly stiff setting feels very nice and composed I must say and performance from this 2 L engine is pretty staggering I won’t lie and

Look at that front end grip come off the throttle and you can’t get it to go a little bit sideways you can’t do that under power though it’s just the performance though for a 2 L engine is just Staggering even in the mid-range it has so much torque you know if you said to me like like if you removed the sound entirely from this engine and then just overlaid the note of something like a 3 L engine you’d go yeah that’s a 3 L engine it feels like a 3 L

Engine it really is that Punchy where it’s not Punchy though is in terms of its noise let’s do a little sound check so you get the old bural not really anything to write home about then if we come through here get a tiny little DSG F again nothing

Crazy where this car is good though is just so quick a lot of people get in these and they are really surprised how fast is I’ve had a couple of um couple of friends that have driven S3s and they go do you know what that’s actually a lot quicker than 300 horsepower would

Suggest and it’s to do with the drivet train car doesn’t weigh too much uh torque is just everywhere and it’s also got a very sharp very well calibrated gearbox and that’s reflected in the 30 to 70 time you know just over 4 seconds that’s fast like properly Quick and the thing is it just hooks up no matter what and of course with a stage one map you can get anywhere from 350 to 380 horsepower and then with a stage one map these things really are ridiculously quick you know especially on a B- Road you’ll

Be keeping up with pretty much Anything let’s do another little sound Check yeah again I need to resonator delete to get anything really out of that you do get a bit of fake noise pumped into the cabin as well which do you know what for this car is actually quite a welcome thing cuz it’s not too intrusive but it

Does add a just a nice layer of rumblin yeah that’s properly quick properly quick but yes steering sharpens up in Dynamic mode doesn’t really have a whole lot of feel to it but you know where the front wheels are you know what they’re doing it’s just you don’t get

That texture from the road that you get in something like a bmwm car but the Turning is quite nice with mag ride it’s very different you get nice sharp turning it’s quite a good fun this thing and yeah basically if you get mag ride it does handle quite a bit better

I’d say the regular suspension is just a tad too soft to play with the car sorry to really enable you to play with the car a bit but um yeah with mag ride it’s really nice actually it feels really tight really stiff quite purposeful very nice and I bet it’s

Actually going to feel really good down a little B- Road as well so let’s take it to one now and see how this thing handles okay then down a smaller Road see what we can do look at that that performance is just ridiculous it’s so fast again suspension deals with the bumps

Well just even this big bump just just controls its mass so Well even though it’s not that heavy it actually feels even lighter than it already is and the brakes they have a really nice feel to them although even on the road if you’re sort of living up north and you’ve got those big windy W you’ve got those big windy roads you do

Notice the brakes fade eventually that’s if you’re going very quickly which of course I don’t can do anyway can we hit 60 before the corner my guess is yes Auto shifts up for me and there you go there’s 60 it even does not 60 faster than 4 and 1/2

Seconds and that is that’s proper proper performance you really don’t need more performance than that on a public road I just love this chassis though it’s really balanced yeah people did complain about under steer on this thing and yeah in certain weather conditions it will plow

On quite a bit but in cold semi damp semi- dry conditions it’s really really good and those are the conditions you see in the UK most of the time if not all the time right one last time then every time you put your foot down it surprises you it really Does it’s just this bump here deals with it so well Oh it’s so Good coming out of Corners like that you just absolutely plant your foot so yeah I mean it’s it’s pretty good really it’s just it’s supposed to be a hot hatch and it it’s just missing this element of aggression that it does kind of need and uh I think something like the Audi

RS3 might just have it so I suppose we better go and see if the Audi RS3 is worth the extra cheddar let’s hop into it now and uh have some proper fun and we’re in the RS3 and firstly let’s Just Yeah the engine alone I think makes this car just about worth it honestly but there is a lot more than just the engine that is different firstly steering steering wheel itself you have an Alcantara wrapped wheel or semi Alcantara wrapped wheel versus the standard leather wheel

In the three but you also just get more feel there’s something else going on you can feel the edges of the tire as you turn into a corner and there’s just a bit of texture coming through it’s not quite BMW M2 levels but there’s definitely something coming through the wheel like just these

Little bumps in the road you just feel it coming through the steering it just wobbles the wheel just a tad you feel very much connected with the car and gearbox even though it’s a s-speed dual clutcher it feels quite substantially different so it feels a bit more methodical not necessarily lazy but a

Little bit more aggressive than the gearbox does in the Audi S3 it holds on to gears for slightly longer and I know that’s just coding really but it also it kind of slurs the gears together in comfort and then slams the gears in in Dynamic feels a little bit more

Purposeful and coming out of Junctions half throttle you can see what I mean it takes a while to get into gear but then it holds onto gears for a lot longer and that’s just half throtle and you may have noticed the exhaust valves open after 4,000 RPM regardless of which mode you’re in

Obviously this doesn’t have an efficiency mode cuz Audi knows it’s a proper performance hatch why would you want an efficiency Mode come on wakey wakey but yeah mag ride suspension in this as well it feels just a little bit stiffer even in Comfort mode and you know what it doesn’t really

Feel any more refined in terms of its ride quality it just feels a bit but that doesn’t take away anything from the S3 then the ride quality in that is Sublime and the ride quality in this is Sublime as well it’s absolutely lovely the other thing I’ve noticed and

I’m pretty sure this is just because it’s a hatchback but it almost feels like I’m sitting lower in this and again I think it’s just because the wind screen is maybe just at a slightly different angle it’s very hard to tell but something’s definitely different just feels like I’m sitting

Low but when I try and reach the armrests they feel the same distance away but something has changed certainly anyway let’s reset our trip computer go over this very rough bit of Road and see what kind of MPG we get uh it’s quoted is getting 42.1 MPG on the

Extra Urban cycle and 33 combined now getting over 40 MPG is a bit of a task in this thing it can be done but you have to basically be driving at exactly 56 mph for multiple years at a time to uh actually get that figure getting above 30 though is fairly

Easy uh of course before we do that let’s take this thing round round about get it in Dynamic get the traction off and have a little bit of fun shall we right then into Dynamic just like the S3 this changes you into the sport setting for the gearbox drops a couple

Of cogs and makes the gear shift sharper we’ll go into manual as well like having full control of gearbox you use the paddles sharpens up the steering throttle response and of course puts mag ride in an even stiffer setting and the setting in this when it’s in Dynamic is fairly stiff I’ll

Say the engine in this is just like a Pitbull it’s just Savage devoured many children let’s go oh my goodness there we go there’s the power yes it’s um quite a rally derived engine shall I say so let me go from Fifth and you plant your foot nothing nothing nothing and then there we go takes a good while to build boost and that’s

Interesting purely because it actually kind of feels slower low down than the S3 does because the S3 is just pretty much always ready to go whereas this you know it takes its sweet time to get up and go but once you’re going once this thing is on Boost it freaking

Flies like this is pretty much as fast as an Audi RS5 if not a little bit quicker I know bit awkward if you spent a lot of money on that but yeah it is seriously fast and I suppose the advantage of having a larger turbo means that when you’re above 5,000 revs it

Doesn’t die off you just have insane boost all the way through to 7,000 RPM and because it’s an RS car it will hit into the limiter as well it won’t just shift up for you which is nice yeah then back in Comfort it becomes a regular A3 the only thing that tells you

That it’s different really is the engine and just a little bit of feeling through the steering wheel other than that it feels perfectly lovely enough to do lots of miles in and I’ll show you once we’re on the motorway actually before then let’s sit in a bit

Of traffic right what’s this thing like on the motor then well coming on to it you got to put it in Dynamic for just half a second data andjust oh oh that’s good I’m going to have to change my trousers now that sound is orgasmic there’s only one way to describe it and

Of course it means on slip roads you beat every other car oh God it’s lovely but yeah once you’re on the motorway cruise control on and it’s just like the S3 really just nice calm relaxed there is a touch more road noise that’s purely because is you’ve just got a slightly wider section

Tire um also I think this is Running plli P Zer which are a bit racer than the tire or standard tire you get on the Audi S3 so you just get a little bit more noise but wind noise is very low and yet you could happily do an 8 Hour

Journey in this thing up to Scotland happily what are the rosers doing then rosers but yeah even though you’ve got slightly more positive steering than the S3 it’s not tramlining or anything I wonder if you can see that what that little Shake in the wheel that’s not because it needs an

Alignment that is because there’s just a bit more feel coming through but it’s not so much that on a long journey it kind of shakes your hands to pieces you just feel a little bit more just feels a bit tighter than the S3 does I mean the the best way to describe

Of it really is it just feels more expensive and obviously it is but the feeling of something when it feels more expensive is like feels tighter more wellmade there’s a bit more prestige a bit more class in the entire process of making the car and it it just means

Every little interaction you have with this thing when you’re behind the wheel of it is just a bit more pleasant the only thing I will say that is a bit annoying is this gearbox definitely shows its age a bit it’s just a bit a little bit jerky a little bit more

Racy um in traffic so it takes a while to engage compared to the um gearbox in the S3 but you quickly forget about that because the second you turn into a corner yeah this this thing has a lot of front end grip obviously a lot of people

Complain about Audi steer but this is like the first generation of RS3 where they really took that seriously and uh yeah if you’re on a road getting this thing to under steer is Nyon impossible unless you really are a terrible driver and you don’t know what you’re doing

But yeah it’s only on the track really where this thing shows a little bit of under steer even then I’d say it’s still fairly decent it doesn’t under steer a huge amount but on the road it just feels like an absolute monster I mean it is basically a posh rally car I think

That’s a really good way of describing it actually yeah a posh rally car anyway now let’s uh get on the most way see what kind of MPG we can manage see if we can go close to the 36 mpg that the Audi S3 managed dring a wagon I

Wonder she I’m that Diva receiver already know this sh throw it I touch down for the touchdown make baby bust down rude as I want her with that I don’t give a sound every time they come around spitting that garbage think he kicking me knowledge but I was skipping

In college these talking that must be off of that and I can’t argue with if they can’t call me from I right then well as you can see preus in the pudding we managed 31.5 MPG if I zoom my face in there and that is about 5 MPG l than we managed in

The Audi S3 and I’d say on average you’re going to average about 4 to six maybe even eight MPG less than the Audi S3 so yeah the RS3 was it is a more expensive car to fill up it’s not that bad you know you’re talking what is that percentage wise that’s

17th so whatever 17th is like like 15% less efficient I’d say or 15% more expensive at the pumps it’s not an exact percentage sorry but yeah it’s about that more expensive which is not that bad really when you consider it does this oh oh I have to say though I think

If you own this obviously the sound is addictive whereas in the S3 is not so you’re going to be doing that quite a lot uh so you will go through substantially more petrol if you do do that oh God this sounds so good this is just the standard exhaust it’s pre OPF

Of course cuz it’s a 2017 car but oh it sounds so good I just love this thing man really do if I didn’t have a BMW 140i I think I would have one of these it really is so special anyway let’s get on a B- now so

I can have a little bit of fun driving this thing shall we all right as usual back in Max attack traction off in Dynamic just listen to that man God never gets old it’s like listening to your favorite song except you never get bored of it when this thing comes on Boost is

Just absurd and your front end grip is mental come off the thr all get it a little bit sideways just a little oh it’s those gear changes that just absolutely make you moist it is so good and then yeah brakes obviously big old brakes up front the

Feel is the same as the S3 but they’re just a bit stiffer but they just have a bit more body to them yeah I’ve lost lost the use of words because this thing sounds nice oh it’s just so good yeah coming around corner like this you just plot on your foot and you

Can feel the back end moving around and the thing that makes quite a bit of difference for me is having that wider section Tire up front just enables you to really exploit the chassis of this thing properly and you know if you take it seriously and kind of like just feed the

Power in notice I’m not getting any under steer good Lord that sound just leaves you speechless it’s so good it’s just like mini Lamborghini hurricane there’s so many different noises this car makes as well you get whistles pops barks let’s do another sound check it’s oblig Tre in this car Yeah the front end grip is mental in this thing like even over a wet surface like this bit it’s the rear that always goes first always I mean you could take this thing to a track and it would feel fine honestly you just have to get that wider section

Front tire makes all the difference cuz I’ve driven one that’s just had a square setup and that felt very S3 I think it’s only like an extra 10 mil on the front of width but makes a huge difference also of course you’ve got like suspension and stuff that’s

Different from the S3 that does make a lot of difference and like a wider track blah blah blah and yeah already even on the wide open stuff this thing just feels so much more capable refined it just feels like a more not necessarily polished car but it just feels so much more

Capable you know you can start to really think about how you’re driving you’re not kind of just planting your foot and letting the car do the job you’re thinking like am I in the right gear you know when can I start to feed the power

In the S3 in that regard is you know it’s very inert you kind of just plant your foot and point it around the corner this you can do that on some occasions but there are a lot of occasions where you are actually having to think about how you

Drive everyone’s asleep at the lights today it seems chop chop oh the noise alone though so good such a good noise and of course this is just the start you know you take resonators out or get an aftermarket exhaust that’s when this thing sounds Unholy unbelievably good where it’s also unbelievably good

Is down a small road so let’s take it to one now and I can show you what I mean this thing is an absolute rally car right then this is where the RS3 just really comes alive God it’s so ridiculously good just got more feel from the steering

Suspension nice and stiff that’s how we like it and uh yeah you could go insanely fast down here if there was not a speed Limit and yeah there I was kind of like feeling the rear slip just a tad interesting right then can we hit 60 for fourth Corner probably that turbo lag is crazy though yeah easily hit 60 oh it’s gut wrenchingly fast the stage one map this thing is just Bonkers it really Is turning is just better you can feel the rear kind of squirming around I just love that you don’t get that so much in the S3 oh God let’s just slow down and listen to this car again let’s go from low Down listen to that man almost brings a tear to your eye Serious performance that is serious performance when you’re in Dynamic stationary you just hear This coming from the exhaust oh that’s so nice so then here’s the RS3 worth the extra cheddar I think you guys know what the answer is going to be be absolutely 100% it is it is a car that’s going to go down in the history books as

One of the coolest bits of Kit of all time just think in the future when most stuff is electric yeah this car this engine o is going to be remembered very favorably I think it’s a piece of History this thing it really is 100% this is going to be a future

Classic just it’s just awesome just awesome but yeah if you can get the money together absolutely get one of these if you can’t then I would just keep saving but if you do want a car that is just a really nice daily driver that’s also

Fast I think the Audi S3 really fits the bill there if you’re a proper car Enthusiast though aim for this you know you can start an ns3 this is the goal always get this just as comfortable just as easy to drive but it just has this extra layer of just wonderfulness

That I mean it it’s just awesome that’s the way to describe it it just really is awesome it’s your favorite song played over and over and over but you cannot get bored of it anyway as always I hope you enjoy this content if you did give

It a like and why not subscribe is not any can you see more content like this you can see everything we have for sale which includes the S3 and this RS3 in the video both very lovely cars even though this one’s done just over 50,000 mil it still feels like brand new

Inside really nice car actually it’s got B sound obviously got the virtual cockpit standard on RS3 but you’ve also got electric seats which is very nice even though these aren’t the Super Sport seats they’re still very comfortable and they’re still very very nice anyway my name’s Tom and you’ve

Been watching Paragon cars I’ll see you guys on the next one bye-bye

  1. Seeing as they are very similar in a lot of ways, how would you compare and contrast the S3 and Golf R? Personally, I actually prefer the interior (with the right leather) in the Golf, and also the infotainment just looks nicer one the 7.5 – All a bit subjective though as people will usualy cite Audi as having a higher class interior. Would be interesting to hear any thoughts on driving dynmamics differences.

  2. Great video as always, would love to see an A3/S3/RS3 8Y on the channel to see how they compare to the 8V’s. looking to upgrade but not sure if it’s worth while

  3. I have a 2018 S3 with all the toys. It’s has a Stage1 remap with a Scorpion resdelete exhaust. It looks, sounds and performs perfectly. The RS3 is nice but I’m more than happy with my S3.

  4. Loved my stage 2+ rs3 8y but my 2 kids got bigger and needed more space and now have e63s wagon. Best car ive ever owned and on a completely different level

  5. Am lucky enough to have had a 2017 S3 (310ps) and now have a 2018 RS3 (400ps), both pre-filter age and stock. S3 was much more responsive, very fun and more than you would ever need on UK public roads. But the 5 pot and a sports exhaust, my word. No noise comes close.

  6. Had the TVS gearbox software installed on my RS3 it's transformed the car, it's how it should've been from factory. Good that you highlighted the understeer situation with the FL RS3 because on the road it's non-existent.
