New RS3 2015 model.

[RS3CA]

Hi. Wonder if someone can assist. A few questions....I expect someone else will have asked but 'search' doesn't seem to pull up anything.

The car has the sport exhaust option fitted with dynamic pack.

1. Cold starting wakes the neighbors! The motor springs to life in a very excessive way. It barks on with excessive revs (completely unnecessarily) and calms down after 30 seconds or so. It's like an exhaust valve is open in 'comfort' mode! Can this be tuned out? Each start is noisy, every time.

2. Suspension in comfort mode was very acceptable when I picked the car up. It is much firmer now. Does the car 'learn' your driving style? If it does how do you reset it?

There are some things I like about this car apart from the above. EVERYTHING!

Even my S3 is loud on start up, did you not hear the car start up from cold when you test drove it?

I imagine the suspension has just settled in? It is a 'sports' car after all, never going to be like an A6 in comfort, my S3 is the same.

Sounds like you may have bought the wrong car?

Guess a mod moved this from the A3 8V forum without realising the OP had already asked here too.
