I was with you till the end of the video when you were comparing this against a Mustang and SS. No one that is looking at an S3 is going to cross-shop against 2 door muscle cars. The CLA, ILX, and 3 series are much closer competitors.

By far, one of my favorite reviewers. Not only do you get an enthusiastic and well rounded review but he throws in a little math to teach the meanings of percentages, teaches you that paprika is a popular spice in Hungary, and then lets you know that Goulash is a popular dish in Hungary, as well. Oh yes, a hint of chemistry is thrown in with the references to iron (Fe) which is otherwise known as Ferrous in chemical naming. This is why nerds are cool.

I'm not sure if it's the bottle of wine but this guy is friggin hilarious.

you can get a nice used one for 35k and for me that is worth it for the performance/options aspect. plus it looks sexy

I would drive this over the Mercedes CLA at any time ... This one is a complete winner ... Nice review like always!

No manual transmission? I must send a love letter to the accountants of Audi for designing this car.

"Lots of fun, surprisingly comfortable, and pretty luxurious" Sounds like 3 great features to have in a smaller car!

Pedals are oversensitive at low-speeds on my GTI with performance pack as well. I got used to it after a few weeks and its no longer an issue for me. It's the same brakes off of the Golf R and presumably the same as on this S3.

Craig please don't compare this car to a Mustang. Yes this is expensive but worth the cash. I love my 2016.

I like how the screen pops out of the dash... Funny how he mentions it feels "more VW". Who do you think makes Audis? As well as any other cars like Lamborghini...

Test drove this car and I found it a bliss to drive. If it was closer to the region of ~$47k loaded, I would have pulled the trigger. Needless to say I got a sticker shock when the final tally from the quote arrived at a staggering ~$57k including taxes.

Shitty Canadian exchange rates be damned, this is ALOT of $ considering a Lexus IS350 F-sport AWD & Infiniti Q50S Hybrid AWD are actually CHEAPER than it fully loaded yet both ride on premium RWD-based platforms.

Dear car reviewer, I understand your video is targeted at a specific region (USA), however, those videos are watched by many people around the world and if you add effects such as displaying weight of the car on the video, please spare some additional 5 minutes editing in the corresponding values in the SI units... It doesn't cost you that much to do so, and it really is valuable to people in say Europe. Thanks.
