Plus start up yer own YouTube Channel.....first vlog ...How to get over the size of that wheel...........lol
Whilst there is widespread disappointment ... I think we need to remember there is still a lot of good stuff to enjoy.
By getting the vorsprung my only gripes are the steering wheel and lack of interior design pack.
All of the kit I really wanted - mag ride, sports exhaust, pan roof, B&O, is all there. I’m hoping the seats / interior has the rock grey contrast stitching and if so that will break it up imo and I never had a design pack in my last RS3 so in reality I won’t miss it.
Finally the price ... there was talk last week of it costing £70k .... well it’s nowhere near and is directly pitched against the Merc A45s and that is only available in 2 options again with limited add on options.
So overall I’ve absolutely no doubt I will really enjoy this car. It’s far from the disappointment many are dwelling on ... we’ve FINALLY got an RS3 again so happy days

£189? Must have been a big deposit. What's the balloon payment at the end?
Them wheels are dreadful looking the half diamond cut design....shrinks the size of the wheelPete will have something to say about this
Club Daytona 2023.....lolclub Daytona
If I place the order that is but its looking likelyclub Daytona
well, that's not a good outlook for those wanting to wait the FL then
feel free to wait 4 everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
If I place the order that is but its looking likely
its a great car mate ... don’t listen to the haters (not naming any names lol)
My preference would be the wheels off the carbon edition to be honest
The alloys will go really well against Daytona personally .... it looks great;
& sure beats bl%%dy rotors

Popped into audi again today and put a deposit down on a vorsprung! Got a decent price on my rs5 aswell
I think that sums the reality of today very well. I had come to terms with basic trim, I thought I could live with those 10 spoke wheels and the aluminium trim is pretty tasteful this time, but the lack of options esp interior design pack has definitely dented enthusiasm.
Snake is right, it’s good to have the RS3 back, but after seeing all the options on German configurator it does seem like we have been short changed massively.
Prior to this week, I’d been studying the RS Q3 to get an idea what might make it on each trim with respective options per trim. Well that was was a waste of time as pretty much nothing equates on the configurator with what we have to work with on the RS3.
Maybe for MY 2023 there will be an array of options available but waiting for a FL seems like a dangerous option with the way things are heading.
But the delay at least allows more money to be saved.up.
What a tool he is “Mythios Black”
Next vid “my amended spec RS3” once I realised half the **** I wanted isn’t available
I think European Launch will be Oct/November 21 and UK cars probably about Feb/March so probably and few LHD cars to review but then a gap before the fancy Launch Edition cars are let loose on UK roads.
What does anyone else think?
I Know what you mean…. I went from a A45 to a 19 plate sport edition, I got a cracking discount and every option bar ceramic brakes.
I was on a total high picking it up, if I go into the dealers to look into this model I’m sort of I can take it I’d leave it attitude.
I think I’ll wait to see it in the flesh before deciding if I wanna make the jump, at the min I’m not too fussed, it’s not as if I’m driving round in a bag of crap, I’m still getting the buzz off the sport edition

he’s still adamant he’s getting one of the first in the country ... even before you Pete
Disappointing but not unsurprising given the focus on cost cutting across the whole of the VAG group
in absolute terms Uk sales numbers will be relatively small v the combined total of lhd markets and even in the uk RS3 accounts for less than 1% of audi total sales.
Hopefully no of options will improve over time but suspect some will not be economical viable to ever bring to the Uk.
on the positive side the low volumes mean they keep their value well and given the move to electric these are going become increasingly desirable to own

Vorsprung delivers a lot of car for the money and Compared to the equivalent TTRS the Vorsprung looks an absolute bargin.
Coming from the AMG45s I am seriously underwhelmed looking at that cabin. The press releases where amazing very on par with the Merc no doubt the drive will be awesome but these options are terrible plain black seats with no flat bottom steering wheel. I’m rattled

omg he really has got that so so wrong hasn’t he
Thought he might actually be in the dealer, but no, doing this from home and my google translator isn’t working.
Then he talks about Mythios (purple) black like it is some fantastic new colour….**** me, been around for years mate. Wife’s A1 was Mythos about 8 years ago!
Tool as Pete says
And has it so so wrong

He filmed that video most likely well before the UK configurator was up and he probably isn’t even aware that it is different.
Only from his dealer calling him will he know as he clearly isn’t reading and replying to comments.
I am currently uploading my video at the dealer. It is a very dry video but I feel like its exactly what everyone in here will love!

It is just me unfortunately sitting in front of the configurator! I couldn’t get a salesperson to come on it. For some reason the only people working were all new employees who didn’t know what matrix LEDs were… and my sales guy was busy.
Lol
Propably took all of 6 seconds if you went for vorsprung
4 of them was the colour

Not happy with the UK configurator options, I was afraid there'd be a carbon option between the standard and vorsprung that would essentially split the options you might want (Carbon Spoiler and Jet black wheels for example on the vorsprung)
