I wouldn't buy a car ever again without a test drive made that mistake with my current car .
No issue at all my friend, no playing games here though, S3 does nowt for me in the 8Y guise. But as you rightly pointed out, everyone likes different things.

Daytona grey is a classy colour shows off feature lines like most others dont but Tornado Grey beats it though...thing with Daytona is every 3rd audi off the production line is covered in itBest colour on the 8y rs3 imho…. Ignoring potential exclusive orders.

They must have pushed it off the trailer in Neutral and let it roll along the car park until it came to a stop!
if l buy a RS3 l want it to be noticed it needs some colour on it as the interior colour is non existent l dont want it to blend inBut you can’t get that without going exclusive… hence what I said…
Personally I would only be concerned by non rs cars having the same colour if i had paid for an exclusive colour, which Daytona is not.

Fair enough mate May the Force be with you ...lolFair enough. I buy a car for me to drive, not for others to see me in it…
Tbh I’ve got the exact opposite view on that - I don’t want people to notice it as I don’t want people to spot it and want to come steal it!!

One of my favourite colours, if I remember correctly I’ve had 4 Audis that colour but fancied a change of colour so now I’m on a Desire Red Formentor.yes mate Daytona this time for me. Thankfully I’ve never had that colour before so it will be new to me even though it’s been around a long time. I’ve always admired Daytona but gone with something else in the past. I also think it does suit the 8y RS3.
the white is growing on me too now we’re seeing some more / better photos but I need a change from white.
There's me. I find the HUD distracting, it's fine during the day but at night even on it's dimmest setting it's just annoying and in the way, and I have it all adjusted to the lowest part of the display as well. There's nothing wrong with the graphics or anything on it. BMW one that is, never had an Audi with one.I'm yet to meet anyone who says HUD is distracting. I haven't seen Audi's version so maybe it's BMW's version that isn't distracting. I've lived with it for a couple of years now and wouldn't want to be without it. Unless I'm actively looking at it I don't even notice it's there. In fact, it took me a few months to get in the habit of looking at the HUD speedo rather than the one on the dash.
The info it provides is excellent and much better and safer than looking at the dash or centre screen for it... Directions, switching radio stations/tracks, current speed, speed limits, etc etc.
360 view (I need it, I live in London with about 6,000 roads with width restriction bollards that are barely wider than a Fiat 500) and HUD are probably the two toys I'm going to miss most if/when I make the switch.

I’m waiting for the “delete spoiler option”
Have to say, always been keen to try a car before I put any money down.What are you so uncertain about the car that you need the test drive to purchase? as all of us are parting with the same amount with no test drive....? and visiting a showroom as many times as you are is not doing yourself any favors either
Or..... leave the car parked out on the street one night and your local intolerable scrote will kindly remove it free of charge, job doneLooks like it’s just stuck on so I imagine a hairdryer and some tugging would sort it.

Do you really think i'm going into the showroom making a nuisance of myself? a drive past the showroom and a walk through where all the newly delivered cars are parked to see if their demo car is there is enough, I just dont trust sales man talk period when they are telling me their demo hasnt arrived yet when all around Audi dealers are offloading their demo's for a quick profit.What are you so uncertain about the car that you need the test drive to purchase? as all of us are parting with the same amount with no test drive....? and visiting a showroom as many times as you are is not doing yourself any favors either
Shrewsbury audi haven’t had one or won’t be getting one until next year.I was hoping to take a look at Shrewsbury demo launch edition but they have sold it so won’t be going out for demo. Shame as I’d have happily purchased it
Yes it would be the amount of launches that would make me hesitant these days, In the past I have bought quite a few Audi 'ex demo' cars (A3 2.0T Quattro/Mk2 TTS launch car/Mk2 TTRS and a R8 V10) all great cars with no issues over the time I owned them.70k and launched a few times every day until it’s available in January. Carefully washed every few days at the dealership through winter, bargain…
I bought my current S3 new and because I had previously owned the 8P and PFL 8v S3's I didn't give it a second thought that the exhaust note would be any different how wrong was I the 2019 S3 with the GPF exhaust note is terrible its so muted it lacks tone compared to the pre GPF S3's also no blip on the upshift . So that's my reason I will never buy again without a test drive it was an expensive mistake .Unless you can get a day test drive you don’t learn enough about a car from a quickie to really inform a purchase imho - well not much more than from Just sitting in the car…
Bought my last car blind and with modern cars being so good, it’s hard to go too far wrong, and that went fine. I’m doing it again so hopefully all good this time too
Thanks for posting that, I like white cars but didnt like the RS3 in white, but it does look better in your shots than I thought it would
Just looks too much like an aftermarket spoiler?I know it’s a S3 but for those waiting on a carbon black Sportback……there’s your spoiler

If I would of drove a couple of mile in the car and heard the exhaust my mistake would of been avoided and I would of walked away .Well i test drove a S3 2015 before l got my own first demo car had magride and my car didn't huge mistake hated that S3 sold it as soon as l broke even on the pcp...niave back then far wiser now anyways if you dont like the RS3 Flip it short test drives tell you very little its only when you've lived with the car a few months then ye know
On my 'hunt' for a dealer with a demo car the dealer said they had a Carbon on order available, I said ''I'm too old for a spoiler like that'' the girl replied ''Your never too old for a spoiler''I may be one of the few, but I love it!!! And I'm in my mid 30's not a teenager
The carbon black sport backs will look similarJust looks to much like an aftermarket spoiler?
That’s been calculated from being on the boat and not physically moving
The Rs3 8y and 8R seats are very comfortableHave to say, always been keen to try a car before I put any money down.
I test drove a TT in 2016 and couldn’t get comfortable in the seat. It was the classic, I was sitting on the seat, not in it. Went to VW and Golf R seat was great. I was sitting in the seat and felt secure.
You've got to go aftermarket if you want a new car to sound well. I'll 100% be getting one fitted to my RS3 so it doesn't sound like someone has shoved toilet roll up the exhaustIf I would of drove a couple of mile in the car and heard the exhaust my mistake would of been avoided and I would of walked away .
Theres more chance of you being the real Doja cat
I find that if I demo a car and never think twice about the seats they will be OK, If I start going back/forth, up and down during the demo theyre wrong. I'm not convinced on 8R blue pattern though, just black middles would have done for meThe Rs3 8y and 8R seats are very comfortable
Sad times eh .You've got to go aftermarket if you want a new car to sound well. I'll 100% be getting one fitted to my RS3 so it doesn't sound like someone has shoved toilet roll up the exhaust
I don't like the blue pattern seats in the 8R and would have to upgrade to leather .

The dealer spoilt my TTS, the leather seats went saggy on the squab, dealer said there was a new improved squab so fitted a pair, they were so hard that the seat I had previously been sitting in I was now sitting on, made them far too high
Before you do search youtube to find out how to put the ESC into sport, its very restrictive otherwise and will flash at you as you push on a bit and its not obvious where it is hiddenI don't like the blue pattern seats in the 8R and would have to upgrade to leather .
