3rd child on the way, strong used price, can’t keep a car for 2 minutes… considering swapping the RS3 to an RS4 avant.
Anyone driven or owned both? Perspectives?

Not quite what you're after, but I had a B9 S4 Avant with similar power to an RS4 and it was a really good car. Mine was let down by the brakes which ****** easily, but an RS would have bigger stoppers anyway. Overall the RS3 is better handling but for a car of it's size I don't think it was bad, and the Sports Differential helped that as well.3rd child on the way, strong used price, can’t keep a car for 2 minutes… considering swapping the RS3 to an RS4 avant.

I like the sound of the RS3 better than the RS4 for sure, I just think it's different than other cars because there are plenty V6's around. In terms of space, you still can't fit three car seats in the back if that's what you're going for. The main family advantage would be the boot which is a good size, and there being slightly more space in the rear.
Avoid early cars 67/18 plates.
Audi used small rollers in the rockers, they can drop out of the rockers in high temp situations, basically destroys the top end.

Thanks for the input.
So we have a Q7 already which ticks the box on all fronts family wise but that’s my partners car.
The RS3 has front isofix so I can get me plus the kids in safely and securely it’s just the boot on the saloon that’s not ideal for this new double pram thing she’s bought. It won’t fit unless you dismantle it and I mean dismantle but apparently that was the only one…
I always like the looks of the RS4s and we had an s line courtesy car. Really liked it. Felt a smidge bigger than the RS3 but main thing as you’ve said it the boot space. Agree the RS3 sounds better, from what I’ve heard of the RS4s on YouTube but think I’d be looking at a pre opf car to balance that out. The 8Y isn’t up to much!

The pre-facelift S4's were non-OPF cars for sure, but they're obviously not the same car so I don't know if they ran a similar route with the RS4 as well.I’m pretty sure they are all OPF from launch.

For boot space the RS4 is miles better than the RS3, so that should sort you out.Thanks for the input.

Shocking as mine was a 2018 car and it was awful sound wise. I was embarrassed to rev it for anyone!I’m wrong they were introduced on MY 2019 cars.

Saw that, looks mint just not sure about the silver contrast for me. Plus no sports exhaust it would seem and if people are saying it already sounds crap…

I don't think I have seen a single one for sale with it as an option, I keep looking. It was hard enough to find an 8v with it or the Driver assist pack.if it had ACC I would have left with it
True but you gotta remember the B9 will be coming up for replacement soon and I bet they don’t hold their money as well as say an RS3

Annoying as it is something I use and it was std on the Golf 7R
Problem solved
Yeah I have seen a couple of newer FL with it, should have said, I was looking at pre OPF PFL. Don't want an OPF and don't like the FL, really makes me think I haven't closed the bonnet!This one has it
I agree, the facelift is a softer looking car. The older one looks better.Yeah I have seen a couple of newer FL with it, should have said, I was looking at pre OPF PFL. Don't want an OPF and don't like the FL, really makes me think I haven't closed the bonnet!
What the hell is that steering wheel?This one has it

Why do they do that. Again it just goes to show they haven’t really given you a great deal if you have to take their finance package, they’d be getting a nice wedge if you did. Hope you get what you want soon pal.So got offered a cracking part ex price for one of the green ones… 61450!
However the current interest rates are a killer. That’s on 10.9% my broker can get me 8.9 but of course the garage won’t entertain the same deal if I don’t go with their finance. Affordable but I just can’t stomach paying more for a car that’s effectively the same value as my current one!
So in summary…

Take their finance and pay it off with your finance before 14d is up.

Same here, I'm not a big fan on silver trim unless on a red car. Black trim always the best though agreed.Sneaky. Lovely car but not quite the right spec, thinking about it though. Silver trim, prefer black but… no sports exhaust…
