Not a fan of all the angular stuff in there. Good to see they are running the battery downFinally managed to see a new A3 in the metal.. personally looks a lot better in real life, though only a mid spec sline I thought the interior was good.. can see how it would look great in higher spec and performance versions... not sold on the wired dash top stitching, would be ok if was leather wrapped dash though..
This was in classic Daytona..

Ah right ... didn't realise there was a smaller VC screen, so yes that would explain it.
Its the vents on the back bumper that i'am not sure about but I'll hold judgement until I see the S/Rs3
Think they will reduce in size on the rear as like the RSq8 but if still fake sure someone will make some 3d printed copies with actual holes in em
Or just get the drill out
Peters & Lee...... ye didnt waste much time changing yer Avatar mate lol
there have been rumours of vat coming down to 15% as it did the last time there was an major economical problem, if that is proven to be true, then good time buy??Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It's Classy looking that's for sure especially Daytona which is great for showing light and shadow in the scuplted door design, S-line or not apart from the alloys which are nice the S3 wont look much different externally than the car here...looks like it's got optional full leather front seats??,only got one quibble with the interior and that's the cup holders ye cant hide them and the position they are now in they should be,in the current car they are far less noticeable,steering wheel design has not changed one bit apart the buttons but glad they kept circular airbag cush instead of using the slightly squared off triangular one in other models...looks promising but l bet you this car retailed about £30k plus

The last recession it dropped here's hoping it drops then as Audi's APR for the new A3 is 6-5% l think which is far too high
Looks small to you coz half of your dashboard jumped off the shelf from the nearest PC world ...lol

OLD....by that You must mean l am very worldly wise and know what l am talking about.....well yes l am 57 years young lol
£60k ....**** for a RS3....Madness...me being a old codger lol l can remember way back when the first 8V Rs3 started at around £38k new and that was only 4 years ago...car world has gone crazy
Those vents above the dash infotainment screen are hideous. Externally it looks OK- seems only the new gen Golf has been beaten with the ugly stick in new gen A3/Golf/Octavia/Leon. It's not very popular next to the Golf 7.5.
Can't see it happening this time around. Lots of pent up demand for cars. Plenty unaffected by COVID-19 if they worked right through or are about to start back. Hospitality (dining/sit in etc. hospitality and travel taking a beating this time, not many others.
Last time VAT dropped to 25% you had to act quick - all the marques jacked their prices up to fill the gap within 6 months of implementation.
Modern, stylish, high res, sleek, slick I think these are the words you were looking for mate ... lol
that basic dash looks like an old Atari game console ... lol
That APR is insane considering where interest rates sit atm. No way I would pay that insulting rate to Audi finance.
You won’t get much change out of £50k for an S3 that is for sure ... but hey you’ll have those Lambo vents ... lol
Merc layout/interior for me. The new A3 has grown on me but interior and rear bumper do not look good at all.Modern, stylish, high res, sleek, slick I think these are the words you were looking for mate ... lol

Doubt will be the only RS you remember to roll into a Showroom
MK1 Escort maybe
Im so much younger and have no clue what your talking about LOL
I'm a Mere Pup at 53
Agreed, prefer the saloon, looks miles better than the van like sportback

great car and very well put togther - very isolated as a passenger as everything is done through VC
Downsides
you have to buy your won SIM for connect services
Road noise is deafening
standard audio is pants
Beautiful car

Audi have dropped the APR across all of the new cars it seems, with the exception of RS cars. The new A3 @ 4.8%.

Sleek............lol that's normally associated with something that's unobtrusive and blends in with the overall design
Have you applied some glue to yer climate controls yet? as l have seen and heard they're a a tad mobile in operation....
Loving yer positive attitude and the travel industry aint that important nor the hospitality trade......the more people affected financially the more help is required.....this aint localised to the UK... consumer confidence is essential.....
Rock solid mate ... seriously I can’t fault the build quality or fit & finish.
Very impressed so far
You wait till those HUGE Lambo-esque vents start rattling & vibrating ... that will soon annoy you lol
You have a merc a class amg? I’m currently in two minds over a A45S or a RSQ3 Sportback
not driven either yet but hopefully in the next couple of weeksSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Both industries are huge and laying off 1000’s of people including high earners such as pilots.
The public are far more cautious, it will 100% impact the car industry, that’s just obvious.

Yes mate - has Audi’s for 12 years but the new Merc swayed me & loving the 45s. It’s a very exciting car. I enjoyed 4 fun years with my RS3 and this is definitely giving me the same enjoyment & it feels special on every drive.
That said, the RSQ3 is a superb car and will beat the Merc for soundtrack. My last RS3 did make a wonderful noise so that could draw me back for another 5 cylinder.
I think you’d love either car pal

Please keep us informed how you get on.
I must admit I love the look of the RSQ3 Sportback externally, but not a massive fan of interior. Somewhat more jacked up than the A45s which is one heck of a missile

I saw a RSQ3 close up in Kyalamai Green a few weeks ago...horrid looking thing,at launch l thought it was different looking and attractive but seeing it with my own eyes, it's vulgar looking and thought why the **** would someone want a RS car of this type buy the faster Saloon or sportback or even wait for the new RS3 and most of all it aint that fast
Green sport back would be my choice
- personally think its one of the better looking Audi’s at the moment.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agree
All choice mate, and that video is nonsense as putting a G wagon that is £120k or whatever is ridiculous, but yes we all know the M340i is fast, and not even a proper M. I personally prefer the jacked up (SUV’s) that many dont, hence why I have M40i X3 and not a 3 series or a A3 saloon or whatever.
Plus it is plenty fast enough let’s be honest.
But half the enjoyment is the soundtrack with the 5 cylinder engine ... it’s glorious !
I think to say it’s vulgar is not warranted at all otherwise you could generalise many cars of that type in that way.
I think it’s pretty cool of Audi to offer a 5 cylinder engine in that package for those that want that type of car but some fun factor performance & sound too.

Exactly, i went from an s3 sportback to the new Range Rover evoque, whilst i love the luxury of my current car, i do miss the performance, but I’m not sure i want low slung car anymore as i quite enjoy being that bit higher up, and i dont need or want a big suv - and i think the rsq3 sport back ticks those boxes.. for me anyway..

That is where I am at, and as we live on a pot holed gravel private track/lane, anything low slung is not a great idea.
I can definitely see myself in a RSQ3
