    Post Pics Of Your 8V RS3's In Here

    Croatia? Lovely country. Have to say I actually do like those wheels, and they'll certainly be lighter/stronger than the factory rotors.

    RS3 Post & pre WLTP drag race. Interesting !!

    Gearbox and maybe a different torque curve, but there's absolutely no way you can feel 10hp. The Mat Watson comment is unnecessary

    Sportback Mileage Muncher RS3 8v1

    Have always found it bizarre when people treat RS3s like this. It's entire purpose is to be a practical, daily-able performance car. I love the car but it's not the type of thing I'd only bring out at weekends to go for a drive down by favourite road, it's a do-it-all performance car. I have...

    Buying advice

    Mine was exactly the same, first owner for 9 months or so was a Director at Audi. So you get a well-specced and well looked after car in exchange for one extra owner. Fair trade-off for me.

    Warranty

    How is mine £910 with £100 excess? Car only has 21k miles.

    Anyone know this Merlin Purple RS3?

    This is how I got my car. Ex-Director cars are generally very highly specced, although mine was actually advertised for sale it was when the FL car had just come out so they found it difficult to shift. Got it for a very very low price. OT The best place to get cars in generally Audi dealers...

    Anyone know this Merlin Purple RS3?

    As others have said, if you can avoid buying from SSC then do so. Also, try to buy from the South as there's far less chance they've been used as rentals and ragged heavily.

    That d**n gearbox

    If you need to do this with your RS3 then something is wrong with the gearbox. The Aventador single clutch is nowhere near similar to the RS3 DQ-500.

    Still in Love with the RS3 or wanting something else?

    Yeah, they're great drivers and value is pretty easy to predict. Could own some sort of Cayman S or R and sell it for the same as I bought it. My dream would be a 964 Carrera but a very different ownership proposition and nowhere to put it right now.

    Legal Or Ilegal Reg Plate

    This is quite an interesting topic, as it depends on a few different things. It is totally illegal to not display a front plate and have it on your dashboard, however if you're driving around in a Murcielago the police are quite unlikely to stop you for not having a front plate, unless you're...

    Still in Love with the RS3 or wanting something else?

    I've only had my 7 months and still love it, all the car I need for now. Far more likely to add a second car, probably a Porsche of some description, than change the RS3 any time soon.

    Anybody considered an M2??

    Used ones are approaching that number already

    Anybody considered an M2??

    I'd say if you're going for a 2 car garage then why do you care about the practicality of your fun car? Cayman is without a doubt a better car than any M2, and even beyond BMW very few cars can match what something like a 981 Cayman GTS can offer.

    Anybody considered an M2??

    No, I only have one car and the RS3 ticks more boxes than the M2. If I was only going for one single sports car it'd be from Stuttgart and have a flat 6.

    PFL gearbox clunks in traffic

    I can't say I've ever experienced it unless it's in S mode. In S it can be very jerky around town but I can't say I feel or hear any big noises. In D it's fairly smooth.

    Catalunya Red

    That's fair. I don't really like the look especially when Catalunya isn't in the sun, it's a bit of a dull colour. I only really like the alu pack on Panther or Mythos as it gives a good contrast. Black on black is a bit much.

    Those crazy Dutch prices!

    The sedan starts at $54k so it's a bit cheaper in the States

    Catalunya Red

    As others have said, it's a bit of a marmite colour and you need to see it in person to make your own judgement. It's a very light red, almost orange. Looks great in the sun but we don't get a huge amount of that in the UK so not a colour I'd personally choose. My old car was Tornado Red which...
