If I lived further north I would have winter tyres on, but we don't see too much snow down where I am. Got the wife's X5 in case it gets too bad.

As someone who nearly bought an M135i earlier in the year and then changed his mind and went for an RS3 and is now in an M135i I think I can comment a little about the two cars. For me the RS3 is a much better all weather weapon, especially during winter when the roads are not great. You can...

Will be starting a new job pretty soon that will keep me out of the country 2 weeks a month. I cannot justify keeping 3 cars as a result and the RS3 is the one that has to go. It is currently with Audi getting the brake fix done, will have it back in the next couple of days. 61 plate 20k...

Black is usually the first choice for me. But with the M3 and the X5 in black, my back couldn't take another car in the same colour. Refuse to use the local brillo pad wash for £5, so the daytona helps on the front. Mica Blue my favourite colour on the RS3.

Had my car about 2 months now and thought it was time to post some pics up. Having clayed (Sonax Green) and polished it up today using my Megs DA (with Britemax AIO) to remove very light swirls it is now in a condition I am happy with. Other than Audi customer service trying it's best to ruin...

Yep parked outside overnight. Sounds like another "feature" of RS3 ownership. Never seen anything like it on any M cars or AMGs so got a bit concerned this morning.

Drove not more than 10 mins in the pouring rain at speeds not more than 30mph this morning. Parked car at train station and noticed smoke coming from the front grill area. On closer inspection the front of the car was very hot to touch and the smoke was actually heat being released made visible...

Great colour. In fact the best colour I have seen on any Audi.

Just did my M3 with Megs DA and microfibre system. Worked well tbh. I also did my X5 yesterday (albeit it only had light swirls) with All in One (AIO) Britemax. This was applied with the same microfibre polishing pads and the results were really good. I will be using AIO Britemax alot more...

The next M3 will be brilliant I am sure. Interested to see if they do an RS3 saloon as well. In any case I don't think I am going to be allowed to change the RS3 for a good couple of years. Doubt I will even want to in all honesty.

Not enough supply of the full kit (discs, pads, calipers) in the chain. My dealer told me I am 4th on their waiting list. They confirmed allocation is based on when the complaint was registered.

Spoke to Guildford Audi and they acknowledged that the brake fix with new parts are required and have had confirmation back from Audi technical. They cannot even order the parts till the 17th May so off to pick my car up until they have the parts ready.

M3 is my garage queen, 2002 coupe manual with 48k miles. I plan on keeping that for a long time. RS3 was the daily runner / second car that could also be used by the wife (she won't drive manual). It replaced a 130i M Sport which was a cracking little car. Nice choice with the AMG coupe. What...

Owned mine a little over 3 weeks. Been with dealer for half that time. Thankfully no issues on par with jonny, but the whole new car experience has been destroyed. They gave me a new A5 coupe, drive my M3 instead. Without the M3 I would be more hacked off for sure. Good luck with the Merc.

My RS3 has been back to the dealer to have a few bits and bobs sorted out. Needed a new RNSE, rattle in the dash, rubbing/grinding noise coming from front passenger wheel arch on full lock and wasn't happy with the brake performance. Dealer could not understand what was causing the...
