I would not order a car today without adaptive cruise control or the lane assist, highway driving is not fun either way so if the car can mainly drive itself during that period, great.

Talked to my dealer and according to that sales person the magnetic ride is harder in dynamic than the standard suspension you get with the RS3, and softer in comfort ofc.

Yeah sorry was a bit wrong on the naming of the parking assist. Yeah I get the feeling 8% off is good even over here to be honest. Just a question of test driving it and then making the decision I guess. The second hand value seems to be decent too so I shouldn't lose too much over 2-3 years tbh.

I live in Sweden and here we can get discounts no problem, the 8% discount is most likely taken from the dealers profit margin as I don't think Audi Sweden is giving the dealers and discounts on the RS3. Parking assist plus is the name for front and back sensors with the visual aid over here...

I was over to my dealer collecting my moms car and was talking to him a bit, had him draw up a offer for a RS3 Sedan with a decent spec list, I ticked Ara blue, the black rotors with the wider tires at the front, comfort pack (auto dimming and folding mirrors, seat heaters and lumbar support)...

I think I understand you more now, I must admit not having English as my first language sometimes makes me read things too literal and makes me miss some of the common ways to express yourself. I now think I see more what you are getting at and I agree. I also enjoy having cars that aren't...

What is cheap? It is all relative to your income and/or assets. I can understand the idea of wanting to have something more unique actually, I never fancied being like everybody else. Don't really care who it is being kept away though :p.

Agreed, I just want to make it clear that I do not have a problem with using finance to buy your car, could not care less how it is bought. I just have a problem with the whole idea of a car being cheapened and something to stay away for because of it, someone "higher up" in the wealth chain...

No it isn't flawed, of course finance opens up the cars to more people, you admit so yourself when saying cars wouldn't sell without finance. I agree wealthy people do use finance to leverage their capital better, I use finance now and then when I do not want to sell off assets to fully fund it...

I really don't care if the car is common or not, I own the car to have fun in, that does not diminish from others having the same car. If a Golf R is more fun in total (driving, sitting in and whatnot) which im not saying it is as I have not tested either yet, why wouldn't I chose that car then...

Can update the thread now. I got to test drive a Boxster today, wasn't a S and wasn't a Cayman (although the new one is the same as the Boxster but with a roof). I came away from the Porsche dealership thinking my S3 was better than I thought. First feelings in the Porsche was feeling cramped...

Yeah, if you can't pay the interest on the extra mortgage you most likely cannot pay the interest on the rest of the mortgage you already had anyhow. Or the PCP deal for the matter which would then be sold at a loss which you are liable for, if you cannot pay that in Sweden the enforcement...

I don't understand how it could leave someone homeless to simply have a larger mortgage than they had before? Maybe it works differently in different countries. It is not a car secured against the home it just a higher mortgage than before with the home as security. The car is not even in the...

Okay, it is interesting to see what the differences are between countries in how they look at funding these hobbies. The good part with the mortgage is the low interest rate, and as long as you pay it off at the same rate as you would the depreciation on your car finance it should be the same...

Is it common in the UK to finance these cars through car financing? I am more used to buying cars outright myself but everyone on here seems to be doing finance deals. Most people in Sweden that finance take it on their mortgage at a sub 2% interest. Either that or a lease deal where you just...

Yeah I guess it is dependent on where you live but to me the S3 is just a normal car so it seems weird that anyone would be be that interested in it. In my mind it's like stopping to take pictures of a Volvo :p. I live in Sweden (right in the center of Stockholm) and there's loads of way...

I never experienced the S3 getting any attention, its just a normal 4 door car, nothing exotic.

A touchscreen is faster and easier to use, easy as that. I wish we could get proper iOS or Android as the actual interface to make it even better, something that seems to be coming in the future. BMWs control with the movement of the actual dial do help a lot I would say for navigation. Haven't...

The Audi MMI controls are terrible, wish it was a touch screen. BMWs controls are a bit better but still a long way from a touch screen. Hopefully thats the route all manufacturers go in the future.

Great, thanks! I was thinking of just not speccing the magnetic ride to save the money if normal suspension was as firm, but I guess not. I guess the S3 and RS3 are about the same suspension wise anyhow? I really thought every day driving was boring until I specced the individual with dynamic...
