I guess what I’m getting at is now I can get an indication of the external sound during motion, I’ve wound the windows down and turned off the pumped in exhaust sound so I can hear properly.
It’s disappointing sadly

Yeah as soon as I saw this it’s the reason I pretty much ruled out doing the exhaust as I wasn’t convinced the results would be good enough.

… to add as well that as we have got nicer weather recently in the UK I’ve spent some time driving my car with the windows down and the exhaust amplification turned off. I honestly think my 2017 S3 sounded better most of the time!

I have to say that one of my big concerns choosing the Merc (CLA45s) over the RS3 was the sound that it makes.
I am a bit underwhelmed at the sound my exhaust makes most of the time (although people do look round so it must be loud enough) but to be fair to it, it does give some good pops and...
I agree with you and it clearly comes down to very personal preference at the end of the day.
People are always keen to justify their buying decisions and will often run down the competition as a way to do that, but I just think we’re all incredibly lucky! Not only are cars of this performance...
Very well summed up I have to say.
The engine note (on the outside) is my only real criticism of the Merc here. Inside the cabin I have to say it sounds great!
The RS3 is no doubt a fantastic car, but for me the Merc is leagues ahead in styling… but that once again is a very personal choice...
No the sound will be fantastic and there’s no mistake… I love Audis but was just ready for a change after having 3 of them.
I’m loving how playful my new car is and in race mode the rear is just a little loose when giving it the beans out of slow corners. The RS3 looks to be every bit as fun...
I am slightly torn as a previous Audi owner and having come from an S3 I now have a CLA 45s.
I think the RS3 is super and it was certainly on my list of cars, but I’m happy with the way I went now.
The reality is that in real world conditions they are marginally different.
I don’t often do...
These sorts of power figures through the rear wheels scares the crap out of me!
I had the fortune to drive a family members Ferrari 812 Superfast last Sunday and oh my lord… it’s a white knuckle ride!!
Throw in rain or lesser grip conditions and it’d be curtains real quick!

Yeah a bit surprised myself about the rolling race but it’s roughly what I’d expect with the standing starts.
Think the Golf R always makes a good case for itself when it’s so similar for seriously less money!

So they’ve reduced the output of the system quite a bit?
Seems a lot of the manufacturers are doing this for some reason. The B&O in my 8v was epic… I’m finding the Burmester in my Merc quite lacklustre compared to it!

To me that appears to have something of a gold hue to it. Very nice actually but different to the wheel in question I think

Ha ha!
I didn’t know “flipping cars” was a thing ‘til he told me and apparently they black list people who do it [emoji2371]
Thing is I need a car, wanted this one and whatever else you look at is either going to take months to come or is built and overpriced.
So ultimately you get into a...
These were my refurbed wheels… front left was terrible as the wife had given it some good parking skills!!
Like I say £40!
