    RS3...Limbo....wait....or Fully Loaded TTS

    No brainer for me as I don't need the rear seats and already have the latest S3, which I've not been too impressed with - so the RS3 would have the same issues for me, i.e. poor driving position, bland looks, etc. The TTS is better looking (way better) than an RS3, has a better interior, better...

    Previously Owned RS3 8V

    There's one at a dealer that's got 5000 miles on it and they want £47k for it! I checked the spec and it was £46k to order. Usual Audi trick of offering a newly released car at an inflated price to take advantage of some people's impatience for getting one. I remember when they were doing this...

    RS3 8V vs S5

    I've driven both (drove new RS3 last weekend) - RS3 EVERY time. S5 is like a big boat with wheels - although I did like it in a strange kind of way and agree that the driving position is way better in the S5 than the S3 and RS3. It's the one thing I don't like about my S3. God knows why Audi...

    Glacier White 8v RS3?

    I've now seen a glacier white RS3 in the flesh, err, it didn't look that great. I was quite surprised how boring it looked. The one I drove last week was Nardo and that actually looked better, but not much. A mate told me there was red one at another dealer near him, so we went and looked at...

    Glacier White 8v RS3?

    Ditto that. Every other A4 I see seems to have rotors on it. Post launch other wheel and colour options will come through. I saw a new RS3 in Cambridge last week. On the road that was. Nardo of course. It didn't look that amazing TBH. I thought it was an S3 when I first saw it. I think colour...

    Glacier White 8v RS3?

    Couldn't agree more. I don't like rotors at all. They'll be better options later in the year and it's no big deal to get Audi wheels that aren't listed for the car fitted at the factory. I'm in no hurry to trade my S3 just yet, so waiting until later in the year to order the RS3 is no big deal...

    Glacier White 8v RS3?

    Thanks! Yeah, had Glacier on my TTS - pic below on day I picked it up, yeah it had snowed. lol. Loving it on the RS3. Think that's where my thinking is going...

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    I had a call last week to say they'll have their RS3 demo car in June. I hoping I will like it, but have started to see a few so-so reviews popping up about the car. Less could be more is what I'm wondering, i.e. S3 vs RS3. Let's face it, the performance gap isn't that big between the cars, but...

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    Err, not correct. I have seen a few pictures of the new RS3 in black posted on the web. None in white yet, which is where my thinking is going. Nardo - looks OK, but it'll be the most common colour for this car I think and I'm already sick of seeing it in every video and picture I find of the...

    RS3 8V Orders List

    Until I have seen one in the flesh and driven one, I wouldn't order one. I'm amazed people would place an order for a car they have never seen or driven. I hope you like it, that's all I can say as thus far, I've been a little underwhelmed just by the look of it and as reviews of the car start...

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    I still need to see in the flesh, but I think a TTS in vegus yellow is going to be hard to resist. Must admit, price wise the RS3 is not that much more than the TTS and I don't need the extra space in the RS3. Performance wise, I'd be surprised if there's that much difference between the two...

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    That RV seems rather high to me. What mileage pa is that based on? Cheers.

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    I NEVER use the efficiency mode in my S3, it's ****** awful (no engine breaking... steering feels like it's connected to a lump of lard, etc) and very questionable that it delivers better mpg IMO.

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    Must admit, for once, we are in total agreement. You're bang on with that statement.

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    I'm planning on ordering one later this year, so more than happy to let the dust settle first. I bought the first iteration of the Golf R32 with DSG before even seeing or driving one - it felt like a bit of mistake at the time and mine was one of the first UK cars, so yep, it had some issues and...

    Audi RS3 2015 brochure

    Me too! But... dealer has told me - NOT a problem, it can be ordered separately and the brochure is just the first iteration and has some misprints in it as well... so, I can just get the exhaust and not the poxy mag ride. Had it on my last RS and TTS. utter crap on UK roads. The wheels on offer...

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    Yeah, ditto that. Although the residual is of course contingent on a defined annual mileage and length of the Agreement, so best to get your own quote me thinks. I now have the new RS Brochure, dealer sent me the PDF yesterday - a bit ****** off that you have to spec ****** mag ride to get the...

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    Bet Miltek aren't best pleased - since they want silly money for their S3 pipes and were probably thinking of charging over two grand for a system to mate to the new RS3. This will be, what? A £900 option? I'm definitely having it on my car. Can't say I am moved by the car in either of those...

    New 2015 RS3!!!

    I think it's you who's missed the point. Try reading my post again :think: didn't own the old RS3, never really liked the look of the 8P sportbacks, but did own a TTRS for two years... get the point :keule:
