If you’re after a car that doesn’t take itself too seriously until you have a winding back road to tackle, then the Audi RS3 – a 2023 carwow Buy It Award winner – could be what you’re after. It’s bold and it’s fun – but when you need it to be laid back and efficient, the RS3 can deliver.
This is the Sportback (read hatchback) version, but it’s also offered as a saloon. The hatch’s main competitor is the Mercedes-AMG A45, but you could also throw the BMW M2 coupe into the mix, or the cheaper and less powerful (but still excellent) Volkswagen Golf R.
Being the high-performance version of the A3 family hatchback, it’s a bit like going for the Extra Hot Peri-Peri option at Nando’s. The A3 is like your regular, Extra Mild chicken, the S3 is Medium, but the RS3 adds enough spice to blow your socks off if you’re not careful.
But what sets it apart from the standard A3, or even the hot S3, so much? First-off, you can’t really miss the RS3 in a crowd. Audi has taken the large grille of the standard A3 and made it even bigger, adding some extra vents either side.
Inside, the RS3's passenger space is identical to the A3 and S3, but it has a set of more aggressively bolstered front seats. Audi endows all versions with a dashboard that looks anything but bland.
One of the most distinct elements of the Audi RS3 is its unusual five-cylinder engine. Its odd number of cylinders gives it a unique thrumming soundtrack that was particularly pleasing on the outgoing model.
