Well during my drive home I went past a cyclist. I took a massively wide berth, fully on the other side of the road, gently accelerated past at the speed limit and he waved a w4nker gesture to me. Charming.

I have no idea what they were going for here. The cupholder area and the side of the center console has a brushed aluminum texture, but the part that's most visible/has all the buttons is plain untextured plastic.
Also, my sunroof rattles when it's slanted open since day 1, going to have that checked out later.

Can't compare FL S3 to PFL RS3! S3 like a souped up S Line. PFL RS3 is an animal!I'm pretty sure that's how it is on the S3 too, not sure about the A3's.
I wouldn't mind a PFL but I can't go back from the tech in the FL S3.

The only trade up I'll be doing is to the RS4 when it arrives next year!Yeah that's why I'm interested in one. You should be posting in this thread http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/whos-going-to-trade-up-to-the-rs3.327503
Not something you want linked to the RS3 but I noticed today that the Renault Clio has similar looking alloys.
My RS3 is here. Don't mind the crudely edited number plate.
My friend brought out his mclaren 650s to play.
The sound is absolutely monstrous. Also, yeah the pops and bangs when downshifting are gone, you've got slight overrun burble instead.
Car doesn't really keep up with the 650s, but it kinda does in sound.
My car's getting ceramic coating done, don't have it for a couple of days. I can do that when I get it back.

I'm hoping to keep the PFL RS3 too... I've loved that car more than I've ever loved a car!
Yeah man, I reckon so!The RS4 will be a £70k car with good spec.

The RS3 is more of a hooligan though, that's its appeal, no? I hope that the V6 will have its own beauty to it...Expensive car, nice car at that though. I'm jumping in and out of my Dad's A5 courtesy at the moment and the interior is stunning, totally fallen for it.
The RS4 would be pushing my budget too far, it wouldn't fit in the garage and the V6 disappoints me. If the new RS4 was a V8, I'd probably move heaven and earth to get my hands on one haha. The B8 was my dream car all the way through school but the warranties are ending and they are too expensive on a maintenance front alone.
Hopefully the new V6 turns into something when it arrives, but Nurburgring videos make it sound totally silent in comparison to the RS3 testing for example.
Family car for me though DOC!I appreciate they're very different cars but for £70k I'd be considering a 991 Carrera S. Admittedly you might need to go a year or two old.

Will there be an RS4 saloon ?
I expect this will be my last ICE car, one I may choose to keep in the garage, in 3 or 4 years I'll look at the electric options that are available...
Agree, one of the reasons why I went for the RS3 and not a Tesla. Not to mention Teslas are not great drivers cars.An electric car won't be able to produce a 5cyl warble and the like. That's my biggest issue with electric cars.
Don't the tesla's take 30 mins warming up before ludicrous mode will work?!

Furry **** but not in same price ballpark as the RS3 to be fair. Whilst it can dash to 60 doesn't it start to slow down after that? I'd be interested in it's 0-100 or 0-124 time.

But the time is coming.............once BM/Audi/MB/Porsche get up to speed the abilities of an electric car will increase exponentially.
I have already started thinking about delaying any future car purchase as once it reaches a tipping point then it will be electric all the way (whether the consumer likes it or not), think of being one of the last people to buy a petrol high performance car just as the mainstream goes electric..............your petrol car will be worth what? I would have been looking at a SQ7/Macan/RS6 type things (fast and big enough to carry two dogs) but in reality in another 5-10years time their used value could be worth diddly. The VW group would love you to buy premium S/RS/R models but on the other hand so much of their R&D is now in electric so don't look at the manufacturers for support.
I know a lot of well off people (who used to own fast petrols) who bought Teslas and not one single one of them would ever go back to an ICE (and that is having bought an American car!), imagine when the Germans get involved..........going to be a very interesting 5 or so years me thinks.
