Get your dealer to put you on one of their track days, I'm going week after next to drive the TTRS and RS3 back to back.
Perhaps it's your age AN, as you say though funny that they are happy to sell you one!

Finally I've found a pic of an RS3 Saloon in the spec I want (Floret Silver + Black Pack). I think I could get away with no red brakes then, won't get ACC either so no radar in the grill.
True just didn't expect the little changes to add up to that much. Pleasant surprise.

Really tough shout for PFL owners Snake.

Yep. Likely to wait for new model RS3 or perhaps RS4 but will wait to see what people think of it first vs Audi teaser clips.

It's you, it's definitely you.....Absolute joke! Love how Audi are allowed to sell me a car but won't let me drive one.
It's you, it's definitely you.....
Everyone else on here has driven it now.
I heard even Stevie Wonder got to drive one when he was in the Country last week. Some Audi dealer in South Wales apparently.
I'd at least get the black alloys on the cheaper option. At least then you'll have a car that looks and sounds the part.

Just wait! Your car will be here soon enough. The wait will make it an even sweeter moment when it arrives.I just can't find one to drive! Everybody has said I need to be 25+ :/
The closest I have gotten to driving one is Milton Keynes, it's a 320 mile round trip.
2020 is not even 5 years after I bought it so not really that long @Snake Pliskin I suppose the Apple Generation wouldn't wait

Can you not at least get a passenger ride in one with a salesman driving?
Must be ****** frustrating.
Though it's not like you are excited about getting one....
I probably could, but I have to question is it worth a 320 mile round trip
I rang around today and one of the dealers in group with mine, has literally just registered a demonstrator and my dealer is looking into the logistics of getting it down to them for me to have for 24 hours
That would be mighty impressive of them if they went to those lengths to give you a 24 hour drive - AFTER you have placed an order.
The cynic in me wonders if the Dealer is just giving lip service, with no intention to get the car.
Good on them if they do though.
I've got a good relationship with my Dealer & they have got a car over from another local Dealer for us to test drive when we were considering cars.
Depends where the other Dealer is located ... how far away are they ?
I had this for weeks after talking with audi uk about 10 times they managed to sort it when they put the right email address in and did not spell it wrong. Worth checking details with them.

SAME!!!
I have bigger problems now anyway as my wife backed into my TT this morning which I am due to sell to help finance the RS3
I have an 2017 s3 with 400bhp stronic, I then drove a 2017 rs3 back to back and was dissapointed if I'm honest. The exhaust honestly doesn't sound much different to the s3 (I have a Milltek cat back tbf). There was no pops or bangs whatsoever (sports exhaust). And it wasn't quite as fast (50ft torque down). The only thing I took away from the test drive was that I love the alcantara steering wheel.I'm in no rush to get the new RS3. After driving the Merc C300 Cabriolet for a week I'm appreciating the S3 more. It does do everything well and is as fast as you need. Hopefully I can test drive the RS3 to see if its worth the early change or one of you S3 facelift owners write about the differences.

So the only thing that can justify the rs3 for me is hoping that an aftermarket exhaust sorts the sound out, it will remap to 470+ and the exclusivity of an rs3. Oh and the steering wheel
Wife and Audi TT now for sale to help finance the RS3
Sorry to hear that 1664Hatter.........

Same as AudiNutta, my S3 is stock with no mods so I'm more likely to feel any differences.
