I've had the RR Evoque experience, 2012, RR provided a full refund after 6 months, spent more time in the dealer than I spent driving it. Audi finish their cars in the factory, not in customer's hands.
I'm on my 3rd RSQ3, 2x8U (with a B9 RS4 in between, hated it) and since October 2020 an F3 base model RSQ3 and I have to say it is an impressive vehicle. Fed with 99 Octane fuel its actually nearer to 420PS, it isn't the outright power and not even the 480Nm (500Nm on 99) of torque that defines RSQ3 ownership, but that amazing 5 pot engine, it has character. It goes as well as it stops with lightweight 6 pot calipers gripping enormous drilled/vented discs. Real world (calculated at the pump) fuel consumption is actually better than the factory numbers.
Just passed 5,000 miles this week, it is breathtakingly quick, in fact one needs to be conscious of not having Drive Select in Auto mode and having the car try to second guess what kind of performance curve you are looking for. The RS is capable of launching itself at the horizon with indecent haste, punching the driver back into the seat with a spine tingling howl - there is a certain responsibility that goes with driving something that's naturally quicker (much quicker) than 99% of everything you'll encounter that's just driving normally.
The ride quality on 20" rims (255/40 R20 tyres) is acceptable and a trade off for the shocking state of the UK's roads, handling is so unlike an SUV, the MQB platform ensures flat, stable cornering more akin to sports saloon.

There are lots of used/low mileage F3 RSQ3 '
Introductory Volume' cars that have bits on the Base (silver ext trim), Sports Edition (21" silver wheels that have never been factory options) and Vorsprung spec - wireless phone charger - none of the Introductory volume cars seemed to have Pano roofs.
Neither the Base or Sport Edition models have the Comfort & Sound Pack (B&O, Ambient Lighting and reverse camera) as standard. This is an essential option as the base 4 speaker audio system is inadequate for a car at this price point.
