No it does not, in fact I don't know of any vehicle that does as standard.Hi,
Just wondering if the RS3 8V has a tracker fitted standard from factory?
Heard that a lot of RS Models do but wondering if mine does.
Thanks

Wrong. It would still be classed as stolen/recovered and would impact your insurance in exactly the same way.
I'm not disputing what you're saying but I reckon you've got away with one there. And/or been very lucky to have no damage to it.
If it hadn't had a tracker, I'd still be looking at a stolen or stolen/recovered anyway. With a tracker, there's also a much higher chance of catching the crims too. There's stories of trackered cars revealing the location of lock-ups containing dozens of stolen cars.Trawl the web and there's plenty of stories similar to yours but where it's been logged as stolen/recovered and which insurers would expect to be declared.
Sure, but they'd only had it perhaps 15 minutes and it was utterly untouched, bits of cash left in the trays and a laptop still in the boot etc.. The car was 18 months old when I bought it, so I'd already had to come to terms with what someone else might have been doing in it!Regardless, I'm still not sure if I'd want my car back knowing that some scum had been inside it doing god knows what.

Insurance is incredibly unfair. A few years back I'd had a renewal quote come through. Two days before it was due to start, some idiot crashed into my car. They had to re-run the quote, this time 12% more. I queried why when I wasn't even there. I was told it was still an "incident". Similarly, even if you don't claim but your insurers are aware, they will still class it as an incident which you must declare and that will affect your premiums for the next five years. It's not right, but that's the way it is.
My first ever car cost more to insure for the year than it cost to buy!

I've been there unfortunately...£1600 per year for a Clio 172! Many years on and I'm paying £300 in total for the RS3. It will get better for you.
It's no wonder there are so many uninsured drivers around these days, especially when the fines for being uninsured are nothing compared to the premiums.Mine cost £900, £2800 to insure.
