Autobild recorded 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds, 0-100mph in 9.1 seconds, 14.8 seconds to 200km/h and 12.2 second 1/4 mile pass. They also dyno-ed the car at 385bhp stock.

For Comparison, they ran 12.8 seconds over the 1/4 mile (10.5 and 17 - 100mph and 200km/h) for the A45 and 12.9 Seconds for the old RS3... so this new one is light-years faster.

Man... Lost to a Golf R, costing so much more.

I completely agree it is all about individual taste, Subjective as all hell.

Not saying the note of the RS3 doesnt sound good, But compared to even base V8s, InLine-5 engines, Or anything below an 8 just fails for me most of the time, However, There are some great exceptions, Like that nice note the A45 AMG makes with its optional exhaust, GT3 sounds good too, And of course the R34, Among others.

Who told you that V8 necessarily sound better than inline 5 or V10?

You can argue that R5 sounds better than V8. It has to do with individual taste as well.


User avatar

BR2+  9y ago

Is there even a GREAT sounding Fwd car? Like even on comparisons with even the lowest sounding 8 cylinders?...........

Cause if not, It doesnt take much to sound better then an RS3 like i have said, IMO

Who cares when it won the sound contest unanimously!

The RS3 got beaten by a honda civic type R and SEAT Cupra 280...

As usual, the straight line times are blistering. But that was the case with the previous RS3, and if you run a 'Compare' with the massively cheaper SEAT Cupra 280 we see the verdict;'The SEAT is noticeably faster'! So, we need some track times before using 'super hatch'

I like this new A3 model coze its the only compact car that has realy good quality of interior (Golf VII also is good for its price).

I can see that this hp war remains even in that class of cars.

370 hp in A3...1999 Ferrari 360 Modena has 400 hp and 2000 Porsche 911 Turbo 420 hp.

Nonetheless for me it is the best car in its class. It has huge power, good quality, great tranny, very good handling, steering, nice 4x4 system and it looks so good.

...What makes it the best HotHatch on the market? (Besides your obvious reason) Due tell us, I think its great, Plain but great, I also think the A45 AMG looks better, But it does look more like an Estate then a hatch, Atleast from the rear picture.


User avatar

saxy  10y ago

The A45 looks better and looks more like a hatch. this looks like an estate


User avatar

Hans  10y ago

I don't care how this thing looks since it is the best Hothatch on the market. And it looks good. 30 ps more would be great tho


User avatar

I like it, the front end looks aggressive, everything else on it looks a bit plain.


User avatar

BR2+  10y ago

Its nice, Bit plain though, But nice. Wish they would stop with those silver mirrors though.
