So you should be, was it fully loaded as even with the RS3 you have to spec extra's which makes you sick when you consider the price.

 

[JA60N JL]

I will Quattro 1981 thanx, just hope it's nice weather like today :icon_thumright:

 

[JA60N JL]

Hi NHN, extras I've ordered are: Light and Rain pack, Alu race design inlays, Bose sound system, Cruise control, Privacy glass and Matt Alu styling package (outside trim) :icon_thumright:

Im still reeling from £2150 for coloured seat backrests! Surely no one has the coconuts to go that far?!

Doesnt the RS3 have standard rns-e, folding mirrors etc?

Chris, you didnt order them, please tell me you didnt pay that?

I know I'm a little bit cuckoo, but I'm not quite that bad, mate! Tis strange, cos on the same page of the brochure you can get four individually adjustably heated seats as an option for under £200, which seems to be a pretty good deal. But for a bit of paint - over £2k!!??

And the RNS-e is standard, but the folding mirrors are still options!

Hello to the site,nice weapon of choice.
Not scaremongering but I saw one around here for a few months and now hearing it's in the police compound meaning something has gone on.

Phew you had me worried after our discussion, get them painted if need be for not even 10% of that cost huh.

Cant believe RS3 has options tbh, sickening big time.

You say that, but I've been looking into get an r8 v8 for a bit of fun, now that the second hand prices are tumbling.. and when you look second hand, there are virtually none with better than an s-line interior! No bucket seats to be seen on much short of an r8GT. Doesn't matter what model you buy, there's always options and most people don't pay the extra for them!

 

[NHN]

Oh dear here we go lol

 

[quattro81]

If you had an s3 at about 340bhp with buckets and rnse.. it would be a nicer place to sit, and about the same speed as an average r8v8...if not slightly quicker admittedly they are worlds apart in terms of looks....!

so when you look at it in those terms, an rs3 is pretty good value - same speed/same interior.. less made, more exclusive? And of course more people to talk to on the forum lol (there's tumbleweed on the r8 forum most of the time!)
