2023 Audi S3 & RS3 Buyers Guide Is it worth it? How does it compare?

2023 Audi S3 & RS3 Buyers Guide Is it worth it? How does it compare?

Rating: 4.6; Vote: 3
In this video I explore the Audi S3 and RS3 pricing scheme for 2023 and how the Audi stacks up against the BMW M235i Gran Coupe, Mercedes AMG CLA 35 / CLA 45, and the Cadillac CT4 V and CT4 V Blackwing. Is the RS3's price tag as impressive as the way it drives? Archie: New the rs3 is probably a better buy, 10k more and you get all the options on a prestige minus technology package s3 + 5cylinder and one of the best performance awd systems. Also will depreciate really slowly. This s3 is going to be a good lease, or a good value in 3-5 years when it's 30-45% cheaper.

Great videos. For the carbon ceramics, I would still skip those if you're doing track days. They last forever for street driving, but they will be need to replaced much more often with tracking, which is really expensive. You really only want those if you are either racing, or just really hate brake dust (and don't really need thousands of dollars.

You did it to me again. I had to stop the video, take of the headphones, and wait to see if heard somebody thudding in the house or out. When you get really expressive in these videos where you are sitting at a table or desk, you thump the table and the mike picks that up.

Another important pricing consideration is the fact that the RS3 is missing some quality-of-life features that are available in the competition (heated steering wheel as an example. They might not matter to many people, but I think that's important to note.
reply

Right now, I can't think of a sports type sedan that compares to this RS3. Still, this price point I'd also consider another model from Audi, the RS5? Yeah it costs more. It's just that Audi has this very limited colors/options in totality.
reply

I ve talked to 5 dealerships in my area and none of them are taking orders the RS3. They said Audi is just sending them cars. No choice on options. That may change for 2023, but for now there are just a few for crazy markups.
reply

Hi Alex, great comparisons as always. in the future when comparing two trims, can you please put the matching features side by side and the differences on the top or bottom of the list, makes it much easier to read.
reply

I think the Lexus IS 500 is a better choice. NA V-8, Lexus quality and reliability, main downside is older interior and infotainment, but a fully loaded IS 500 is 62, 500, whereas the RS3 is almost 70K.

It would be interesting to revisit this comparison once you've driven the CT4-V Blackwing, especially if you have a change of heart. Please review the manual if you have the choice.

Most people don't even realize that the economy is collapsing and there is an increasing rate of unemployment worldwide, so take advantage and prepare by making investment to survive

The BMW you showed is the M240i, not the M235i, they're different cars. In fact they're so different that I wonder how BMW engineering department gave the M235i the green light.
reply

Germans became more American than American cars. 15 years ago no one would believe you that American cars would still have vehicles without extra doors and manuals.
reply

My mom's Audi A3 kinda turned me off to the Audi brand, but that rs3 is a whole other beast. Definitely gonna keep it in mind when I trade in
reply

I think I would rather have a 2 year old Cayman S for 70k, but I d have to drive both to be sure. Also the Cayman is less practical
