Facelift UK RS3 Saloon/SB (400ps) Order Thread...

If it follows the pattern of the pre FL, decent discounts could start to appear early next year once all the early adopters orders are dealt with, demand calms down & Dealer allocations become readily available.

You've gotta accept that early cars are gonna command a premium.

That's why I've been waiting, early cars might have some little problems here and there too. If you can get 2-2.5K discount from brokers now, hopefully by early next year (I remember someone mentioned right after Christmas being a good time too), you'll be able to get 3-4K off, maybe even 5k.

Anyone heard of this infamous rattle upon start up in comfort mode? Video courtesy of a fellow RS3 owner..

Nasty. I have literally never heard it before on anyone's car.

Not from UK but from Spain, car ordered. Catalunya Red Saloon/Sedan with almost all options. Dealer told me it is expected late December... Is it a realistic waiting time?

Checked “youraudi” it’s now showing on there :) and says they’ve received my orde, hopefully not long till things start to move along!
 
Test drive this Sunday as I said, the last time i test drove the S3 a few weeks ago, salesman came with. Can’t really drive it the way you want to! I’ve asked if I can be given the keys for 30 mins for a slightly extended test drive and eh hint hint...alone. See what he says. Sure they will come back with the usual c r a p that they need to be there

Watford Audi let me give the RS3 a proper spanking to their credit - to the point that I began to feel guilty at what I was doing to a car with 150 miles on it........

Lol, impressive. The cars there to be pushed though, and it’s not a proper test drive if your not able to take it to it’s limits, within reason of course. It’s why you’re buying one after all! Sure they’ll let everyone abuse it and sell it on down the line priced accordingly...or not ha
 
I guess delivery times for Sportback and Sedan are not the same as they are not built in the same factory. Lucky you, only two months left!

I didn't realise that..
Interesting. I wonder if the build quality is different due to this - different machines, different people, different mistakes...

I also wonder what the global RS3 production figures are now for the sedan vs Sportback...
I suspect it is closer than people think.

Who were you dealing with at Watford.. they told me they didn't have a car available...
 
Went to Croft circuit yesterday at Audi's invitation. The highlight was doing laps in the R8 V10+ but also got to drive the TTRS, RS6, RS7 and they only had PFL RS3s as they said demand is too high for the FL cars and they can't get them. Fun chucking them around a shalom though but reminded me why I sold mine. Shame no FL cars.

Obviously the R8 was the standout but is a bit much for normal life (mine anyway), the TTRS doesn't feel that far away from it and more like a dialled down version suitable for real life. Will probably now be looking at one of these.

Following that I also have much respect for anyone who drives an RS6 or RS7, total monsters. The ceramic brakes also neck-snappingly good.
 
Tad annoying, salesman has to come with me on the test drive due to insurance reasons for all RS models along with the R8. Said I can give it a good drive though.
 
She's here. <3

The floret silver RS3 saloon picture I posted earlier is now in this video. Drag race vs RS7 Performance, expected result really. 0.3 second difference to 100km/h it says.

 
Both looked like they totally f*cked up their launch to me....... The salon looks quite good in floret silver - I bet you won't see many of those around too.
 
Looks lovely, similar spec to mine...but to order the red calipers or not....hmmmmm, think I may need to
Standard calipers are nice and will also go with the whole black pack on Nardo.

Exactly why I'm going for the same spec. Floret silver, black pack, red brakes, pan roof, sports exhaust and maybe the black alloys too.

Made it to status 20 on the order tracker today....

:yahoo:

What is your build date?

I had an email from Audi UK yesterday reminding me about the tracker and that the car would be on the production line soon :rock:

EDIT: OMG!!! Just checked the status codes and mine is on a status 20 :smiley::smiley::smiley::smiley:

Re-checked it about 10 times!!! yourAudi doesn’t show this yes. So, the status codes do update quicker!! :D

It went in on the 27th, why haven’t I been checking these codes!!!
