Never mind passing the buck
He was making a wise purchase based upon sound

ha ha definitely no regrets there.
Based on my past 2 cars I would have happily have kept that car from 2016 to now, knowing what I know now.
Best car I have ever owned - I never got bored of it and it always felt special and wow that sound.

Deep down l knew it semiconductor shortages blah de blah de blah .....timeline of the THEE 8Y not the timeline of the RS3 determines the FACE LIFT ...Gonna cost a fortune base car starting at £60k lol
I bought my PFL literally on the day the facelift was announced!
If cancelling or trying to put off your order you need to consider the ''A Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush''Lol well I am not taking mine in Summer 23 on that basis^.

A friend of mine 'restores' some classic cars, another friend dropped in to see him and upon seeing the vast number of waiting projects asked the question ''f*****g h*ll Peter how long are you planning on living?''
The new headlights look pretty cool with the Q4 / e-tron style DRLs, but I don't see anything too exciting about the rest of it unless the inside is completely different.
Based on those photos the FL is gonna be pretty mild on the RS3 then?
Wonder if they do any powertrain tweaks and/or interior stuff.
Also wonder if its announced in Q1 2024 or literally the cars will be here by then.

F F S.......they can't even build the orders they had for the 21 car let alone any 24MY cars.
Can't imagine many bothering after this fiasco, it's been on the news today new car sales in 2022 were at an all time low.........

Poor guys thinking their getting build weeks mid 2023 ....facelift Vorsprung starting at £69k ....? what a mess/fiasco this specific model has turned out to be ....glad am out of it best thing av ever done related to cars
Come on man. At this point everyone is aware you don’t rate the RS3 and you have cancelled yours but no need to constantly put the folk down who are waiting it out. I agree with you the car isn’t worth the money and the interior is a let down but for some folk its good enough.

People tend to justify their position on things after making a decision, in this case negatively as he’s no longer getting an RS3. That’s fine by me and I’ll continue to justify my decision to own one positively. Love my car……it’s not perfect but you can pick holes in anything if you try hard enough. Still only seen 1 other one on the road………it’s a rare beast which is great to drive and puts a smile on my face every time I get it out of the garage.

To get this back OT, I have been reading up everything I can about a facelift. Nothing really yet about an RS3 but if it does ever see the light of day I would be tempted to get my name on an order. Will be the last of the last and not the end of the world if it never turns up as I have one. That’s my logic anyway.
Just stating facts nowt to do with cancelling my order and if its good enough for some So be it but it doesn't take away the fact that "thee some who've mid 2023 build weeks " could have their new RS3 8Y for a few months say 6 months for example just for Audi to roll out another rs3 with at least a mild facelift externally but internally a medium makeover
Thats assuming the FL is an improvement..... I can see more tech, less buttons touch this and that... The exact reasons I didnt order a G8 'R'.
If you look back though, the 8V interior had one single change……the VC was introduced on the 8V1.5 that was it.
I can’t see Audi making drastic changes on the 8Y, especially given the supply chain circumstances they have been facing.
The FL Golf is going back to buttons on the steering wheel and a different MMI screen if spy shots are to be true.

I'm hoping it's something very minor like this. On my S4 the B9 to B9.5 was basically just getting a slightly larger screen on the dash that went from the good MMI wheel input to touch only which I thought was a bad move anyway. And the exterior seemed to get softer so wasn't jealous of FL cars driving about. Maybe something similar here, although I'm pretty sure I'm going to have headlight envy.

Lol they changed the engine too!
TX.
Edit - facelift RS4 arguably worse than before. I prefer the original B9.

Yeah I know but I’m just referring to interior changes which it would seem people are expecting big things of

Going back to buttons will be a step in the rite direction for the FL Golf I can imagine it put a lot of people off buying
one myself included .
Was such a dumb move. Had a loaner car new shape 1.0 golf and the dials to turn up/down/of the heater/ac you have to use the silly screen.
New spec? Just the same as ours plus the interior options that we didn't have but should have, isn't it?
I just did, I don't remember hearing anything about new spec. Granted I had a couple distractions, but still don't imagine I'd missed it. Care to spell it out for me in case I did?Someone hasn't watched the video
Oh, I did hear that.
But I also read his comment that said he knew it was wrong so didn't think anything more about it.
