    8.5Y RS3

    What a shame the direction they have gone Just had a look, I understand it’s a premium product but like you said. I would have to consider other brands for the price point. That RS4 platform is old tech now.

    8.5Y RS3

    I don’t see many compared to previous gen. See a few A35’s

    8.5Y RS3

    Same happened with the 8Y and look at the values now.

    8.5Y RS3

    Doesn’t mean the cost is justified!

    8.5Y RS3

    Agreed. I thought about getting the 8.5Y but I can’t justify the price increase for very small changes that should have been available in the original 8Y. Will stick with mine for now.

    8.5Y RS3

    This does look very nice in this colour. Works in the right colours and spec. https://youtu.be/NIXEGfRPQ_w?si=Z2HQxREfNjk6ezv4

    8.5Y RS3

    I have a 2010 Gen 1 S1000RR and never got on with it. Changed to the 2013 much more improved.

    8.5Y RS3

    Only reason is The RS3 and SQ5 potentially will be our last. Although I said this before and came back after having a BMW M car.

    8.5Y RS3

    Agreed majority of Audi dealerships are useless.

    8.5Y RS3

    It’s ok but the dated gearbox also doesn’t help, could be a lot sharper which would have been nice in the 8.5Y.

    8.5Y RS3

    The 8Y handling was strange coming out of the 8V as it was night and day difference but you gradually learn to know its limits. It’s not like a M3. A good effort from Audi imo considering how poor the previous 8V, 8P handling setup was. You could close your eyes driving those cars. This gen you...

    8.5Y RS3

    Agreed one thing we can all agree on is the 8Y has better driving dynamics than a 8V. I find his reviews really boring and stale. Comparing a hatch against a Porsche sports car. Odd

    8.5Y RS3

    Thought the same not sure how both can be compared. Very different driving characteristics.

    8.5Y RS3

    Just looks so big. The side profile of the bumper looks like some random Maxton body kit add on. maybe not so bad if you pick a darker colour to contrast.

    8.5Y RS3

    For the price, I was hoping they would increase power output and sharper gearbox. Think I will be selling my 8Y. Something leaves me cold about the car. Just not sure what to replace with.

    8.5Y RS3

    https://youtu.be/DYnUu1R_7kw?si=-dkEG4fi3HWUe1yA Something about the wheels and rear bumper just doesn’t look right. I’m sure it drives great but so many question marks considering the price.

    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...

    RS3 Build Tracker Spreadsheet

    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...
