Expert Reviews
The 2018 Audi RS 3 is a high-performance variant of the A3 and S3 sedans. It is available in a single trim level and is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine (400 hp, 354 lb-ft). A seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission sends power to all four wheels.
PROS
Potent acceleration and heaps of traction
Well-trimmed cabin
Enough practicality to serve everyday use
CONS
Ride quality might be too firm for casual drivers
Snug back seat and small cargo area
Overall, an excellent car, even considering the high price given the size. It has a well-rounded set of features, and when performance is taken into account, some would even argue that it is good value for money. Definitely well worth a drive!
