The long wait

I love Miami blue but the wife hates it . I bet that is crazy money
Go for it mate you only live once .
What you not liking about the Rs3 to make you consider moving it on ?
I'm from Glasgow (just moved to Johnstone). If I don't get my RS3 in September I may have to pop in Porsche.
The issue I have is 2 big dogs to get in the back. Never seen in the back of a Macan.
Got a Clio Trophy as a stop gap which handles great but lacks power.
I did look at an RSQ3 but Mrs didn't like it. She liked the look of an RS6 they had in but I'm still thinking I'm 30 years younger than I am and want a hot hatch
Macan similiar size to Q3/Q5...I always thought it was Q3 size, but others have said more Q5 size. Worth a look and get the sign-off from the boss
Not sure mate - I just have no connection with the car.
The (lack of) sound is a big thing but now little things are annoying me like the dark bland interior.
I guess it doesn't feel RS enough for me - it feels like a really fast sports saloon, a Q car I suppose and that may appeal to some but my last RS3 (8v) just felt so damn special and every drive was a treat. I just feel like I'm going from a to b in this car and its no event at all.
Think the car I specced was around £72k bit of a difference eh
The pfl 8v Rs3 is a hard act to follow they sound great at any revs .
The interior annoying you I totally get Audi really done the UK market over taking the Design pack away .
At least you won't loose anything if you do move it on the Rs3 which is a positive .
yes mate - if I was gonna lose a shed load of cash changing so soon I’d probably just put up with it for a couple of years. But it’s still worth more than I bought it for and even by quarter next 2 year (if I do commit to a 718) I would hope the depreciation would still be sensible.

Modern cars though and getting worse every year due to Regs. I may not get a new car again and I usually get a new one every 18-24 months! Sad time for drivers imho.

Buddy, Happy to PM you & explain how my life has mapped out & maybe you will understand my "Disposition"Alan, you're normally such a happy, sunny disposition sort of chap
Regarding my Order I checked with Supplying dealer today what was 2313 has now gone off screen. The SE is 50/50 on whether that is a good or bad thing(brought forward or pushed back)
I think you need to chill out. It wasn't a pointed comment towards you so don't take offence at nothing. Just a little tongue in cheek humour, nothing personal.
I did!
Loving it at the moment, lot more raw vs the M2.

It's awful isn't it? At least it takes the attention away from the front.
Hence why I’m leaving BMW for Audi, Tesla and Toyota!
Love it to be fair.

We’ve just had a Nando one pull up outside a neighbours house, it sounded great when it pulled away…..

50/50 right I guess, Right to say it was a little Tongue in cheek Humour, Wrong to say it wasn't a pointed comment towards me, As it Addresses me, It quite pointedly was.
For God's sake, stop moaning. We're all in the same $hitty boat. Get over it.
I waited 18 months and 3 price increases for my Macan Petrol S that arrived in 2016 !! Then a 9 month wait for a 911.2 that arrived in 2018.
IMO the GTS / GT4 are the only 718's to buy (4.0L), i test drove a 718 Cayman and Boxster ( i had a new boxster in 2005) and while it performs and handles really well the 4 cylinder engine "drone" did my head in after about an hour, its not a just "turn the stereo up". and difficult to hold a normal conversation with your passenger etc. if you do test drive a 718 make sure its for you with a loooong test drive else on performance alone you'll buy one.
cheers mate thanks for that insight and good to know.
to be honest the big thing which has drawn me to this car (718 GTS) is the 4 litre engine and soundtrack.
The added benefits are:
Build quality
interior cabin and materials
exterior looks
I've kinda always hankered after a Porsche and loved the Cayman from the 1st year it came out.
I also know the window is time limited to get one of these cars before they are lost electric.
I like the M4 in most ways it has really awesome road presence OK the M-performance exhaust is a bit Marmite but it should sound better for it another league up from a RS3 And 2 leagues up interior wise
I love the RS6 soooo much. In fact I'm thinking which of my kids can be sold for medical experiments to pay for it!!

We are all in the same Boat because we are both waiting for an Overhyped & overpriced Car manufactured by a company with very little moral compass?
You don't know the half of it Fella...............
