+1 on the fixed suspension as well. Here in Canada we had to pay extra for fixed over mag, and I'd pick fixed again. Just did a 'fairly' rapid 400km with my mother-in-law/wife/adult son in the car and for the first time she was fine to sleep through the twisty mountain highways without having...

I get this on every fully cold start, the redline moves back to 6800 much more quickly than I would of thought.

I'd call it even - I tested the acceleration and braking on their 2018 R8 V10+

I'm assuming it's part of the break-in routine as it's roughly 1.0g acceleration and 0.9g left, 0.9g right, and 0.9g braking. That's not possible with a quick joyride on city streets. my pdi check-sheet does have a check-mark beside "test acceleration" and "test braking".

entire Internets have been built and sacrificed to this question! the owner's manual, shared with the A3/S3, says to keep revs below 2/3 max for the first 1000km and gradually increase to max for the next 500km's. The car itself lowers the redline to 5,500rpm when it's just started and enables...

Here in Canada we pay extra for the fixed suspension, aka: "Sport Suspension". It's also the only way to unlock the 280km/h vmax. I had mag on my '15 S3 and didn't like it; my guess is the S3 had the same suspension tuning as the A3. The fixed sport suspension on my '18 RS3 seems to have more...

My 2018 RS3 has the alu interior, it's a base config here. I couldn't justify the $900CDA for the carbon inlay, until I saw the carbon on a demo car, and it does look sharp. I'm ok with the alu trim, as it also matches our vent surrounds here. The alu trim is a lot better looking than the...

I've gone from a 2015 S3 with Mag Suspension to a 2018 RS3 with sport suspension, sport seats, and sport exhaust here. The RS3 doesn't even feel like the same car: Engine/Suspension/Seats/Tranny/Brakes are all different as are the electronics with the VC and finally Android Auto support...

I call it more orange than red. works for me

same in Canada as NZ. I'm seeing different package combinations from different reviewers. Saw mention of a Performance Pack including CarbonCeramic brakes, Sport Suspension, and 280km/h. Here in Canada the Sport Suspension and 280km/h are offered separately from the braking package, as an...

warning: EVERY car I pick depreciates rapidly! August eta for 2018 RS3 in Canada.

I'm old and feel the Mag setup in my S3 was tuned by a committee. It's brilliant tech, it's probably perfect for 80% of the target audience, and now let's see what the fixed suspension is tuned. As I understand the underlying technology - the shocks are stiffened or softened by electrical...

Our packaging is different in Canada. The base RS3 includes the Mag Suspension, as well as B&O, virtual dash, and most of the other S3 options. I went with the extra cost options of the Sport Exhaust and the Fixed Sport Suspension, I did not select the Ceramic brakes. The Sport Suspension...

Thanks! I can't have what I want; Evora Suspension and balance, C63 power,Quattro, A3 size, a manual tranny, Honda Reliability, 488 style, and room for the family. Hence the RS3.

Looking for guidance from the RS3 brain-trust. I'm in Canada with a 2015 S3 and have a build slot for a 2018 RS3 I'm spec'ing out with my dealer. My biggest complaint with the S3 is the suspension - Comfort has the shocks too soft, Dynamic has the springs too soft, and don't ever hit a bump at...

I'm in Canada; my rep says "not very much more than the S3" (haha). I'd have to guess the C43 is a market comparison. I've had my deposit in for almost a year now, maybe see pricing in December? My kids think the S3 is fast enough and that I'm nuts. I'd expect the Sport Exhaust, Ceramic...

With winters and the matching calipers

ahh, I was wondering if I might have the only Misano S3 in the province. I'm on the RS3 list for next year, we'll see what the available colours are.

I saw 38mpg once on a mellow family vacation, but the car says 29mpg over it's first 10,000 miles. I think the fuel economy is amazing for what the car can do. I've heard 12mpg indicated at 100mph up an 8% grade.

Vancouver BC? I've a 2015 Misano S3 in Coquitlam. LED headlights though.
