    RS3 Build Tracker Spreadsheet

    I could have gone used and easily gone for a 911/991 GTS. Although it had to have a manufacturers warranty with ideally newer tech with a half decent drive. I’m pretty sure majority of owners could have done the same but also wanted something newer. My question is what’s out there that is...

    Compared to the A45 I guess they had to have it nearer that price tag along with inflation. 8V wasn’t exactly cheap when new either. What would you say offers more for similar money? Has to be new out the box with a warranty to make it fair.

    RS3 Build Tracker Spreadsheet

    All new models & Manufacturers have had big price increases not just the 8Y. same goes for AMG models M cars Porsche etc surely you don’t just buy the 8Y just because of the interior? It’s was just an expectation as Audi have always nailed interiors which they do in other models still. it’s...

    M2 vs RS3

    What happened to BMW designs. They all look strange now. Only one that I wouldn’t mind is the new M3.

    M2 vs RS3

    Doesn’t sound like he enjoyed it. Sounds like a disappointment for what should have been better.

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    Agreed Even Porsche seemed to go backwards slightly regarding the interior side of things. Compared to previous gen cars.

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    Sorry I disagree non of the 8V cars handle PFL or FL when pushing on. FL improved things but not good enough for an RS. I had both the only thing going for it was the DAZA block which was a great 5 cylinder with lots of character. The newer cars with trick diffs keep things interesting when...

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.
