Overhyped and overpriced it may be but there arent many alternatives without going to M3 price.
Internals envy for sure. Imho the car is way too big now though, my RS4 was a tight enough squeeze in car parks etc.I love the RS6 soooo much. In fact I'm thinking which of my kids can be sold for medical experiments to pay for it!!
I know what you mean having had cars of similar length and width before and parking was always a pain. It's a dream car for me but as with all cars, there's compromise somewhere.
Preferred over the V6 and V8? Interesting. My brother had an RS5 with the V8 and it sounded sweet
yes, had the pleasure of urQuattro and urS6 with the 5pot, loved the unique sound. Main reason for me to sell the urS6 and move onto RS3.Preferred over the V6 and V8? Interesting. My brother had an RS5 with the V8 and it sounded sweet
I can't argue there. I loved the sound of the V8 but the 5pot has a charm all of its own
Strange your now on/ordered a RS3 After a few Porsche car's....that's a backwards step in my mind never owned a Porsche but driven a lot of them in the past 2 years courtesy of my son....could probably force myself into 718 gts but l don't want to sacrifice £££ that l use for other of lifes pleasures ....
When you get to my age (one week off 67) , buying and running a new Porsche on a pension is quite expensive when i can use my funds for holidays etc. It was quite funny when i placed the order for my RS3 V SB, the SE said pensioner in an RS3 !!!! I'm running an RSQ3 sportback at the moment !
Yeah I understand completely where your coming from mate
Overly Hyped up car for sure and most certainly way overpriced but l have never succumbed to the hype and l certainly wouldn't have got this car at today's list price...but we are just rabbits caught up in the car manufacturing headlamps right now your 20% discount should appease you? us paying full list or ones with smallish discount should feel even more frustrated we all vent.....on here and it frustrating......ergo....
Over priced maybe but apart from the sound it's not over hyped atall. The drive is a massive step up from the 8v. That's why 90% of the reviews are so positive
If you go on 'normal' wheel nuts at about 90ft/lb they're 5 times higher than that, our torque wrench for the race car was about 5 foot long, either that or a compressor and a £6000 air gun

My MV was the same from new, silly tight from newJust work on your deadlift and use a normal length torque wrench like a man.
I'd actually love to see someone try it to be honest. My Ducati rear nut was 230 Nm and that was bad enough, let alone three times that. Hahaha.
The demo car is not available until next weekend but I still popped to the Dealer just have a sit in one this weekend. As luck had it, they had a brand new one in which I could view & hear start up ( GTS 4.0 ) plus it had the interior pack I’d go for so it gave a perfect representation of what I was considering.

All I can say is … how the heck have Porsche got this car past the opf/sound regs as it sounds incredible and the volume is bonkers - albeit you can run quiet mode for those days when you don’t want to wake the neighbours
The interior is something else with the GT pack. All the contrast stitching / leather / alcantara / race tex you could ever want - a beautiful interior & Audi should certainly take note.
The exterior is sleek and sporty yet understated without it having lairy spoilers so I like that.
That alone was enough for me to have confidence to commit there and then so the deposit has gone down and I’m test driving hopefully this weekend.
it will likely be 3rd quarter next year I take delivery so I’ve got a long wait but it will give me time to ‘enjoy’ the RS3 up to then.
So I’ll let you know how the test drive goes .. hopefully it will be good ha ha !
Handy they had one in the spec you would want. I am a massive fan of the GTS in 4.0 guise
No lol … I was respectful and didn’t touch the throttle or even sit in it. It was turned on and I viewed only - it had all the protective coverings still on etc too.Lol and there’s you revving the nuts off it cold
