looks pretty decent to me for the lower specI thought the same until I sat in it. I’m sure higher specs would be more impressive..

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..

It had the basic smaller VC screen, so yeh was a little smaller..
The dash board is much more driver focused in my opinion, felt more wraparound cockpit like..

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
Also.. the salesman told me vat is coming down within the next week.. so some deals to be had!!

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??

Main cockpit screen looks quite small ... is that just the photo ?
Did it look ok in real life ?
Maybe its because of the fixed clusters at the side
Peters & Lee...... ye didnt waste much time changing yer Avatar mate lol
No Sir, was On it like an RS bonnet
you must be old if you remember Peter's & Lee
Glad i have my deposit down for a build slot, a month ago tomorrow
I like that, if of course it does end up anything like this
Black or carbon pack would suit better on the 444hp which i would go for
I'm in regardless
anybody want to hazard a guess on pricing
I got tops 60K to spend

Looks small to you coz half of your dashboard jumped off the shelf from the nearest PC world ...lol
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
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
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
that basic dash looks like an old Atari game console ... 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
Your the only person l have ever heard saying this...barring myself when l use to own a S3 Sport back,having owned both....externally they are totally different and dont share one body panel...the saloon drives better,same cannot be said of the new A3 Sport back/Saloon they share a few panels, bonnet,front bumper,front wings,front doors....rear tail lights
S3 Saloon has always been around £2k more expensive than the S3 Sport back and that's not just down to marketing

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
Audi have dropped the APR across all of the new cars it seems, with the exception of RS cars. The new A3 @ 4.8%.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
Modern, stylish, high res, sleek, slick I think these are the words you were looking for mate ... lol

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....
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.
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
Both industries are huge and laying off 1000’s of people including high earners such as pilots.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.....
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 weeks

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..

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..
