    Facelift There's No Love...

    I bought a 2018 RS3 a little over two years ago. I traded in my 2011 Mk6 GTI that I had also bought new back in 2010. I never really loved the RS3, not the way I expected to love a car like the RS3 and not the way I loved my old GTI. Initially I was super excited and happy of course, but as the...

    Saloon OBDeleven Help

    If you go through the history it shows you ever change you ever made. I would go through and make sure everything you did you then undid.

    First Snow

    I'm here on the west coast of Canada, we usually get very little snow so getting winter tires fitted isn't really something everyone does. Last night we had a bit of snow and I'm wondering what to expect with the RS3 running on summer P Zero tires. Is it going to be really bad or will quattro...

    What's this? a Audi Golf RS-R3?

    I was considering the Golf R before I decided to shell out more for an RS3. I know all are MQB cars but paying $50k for a VW Golf just seemed wrong. This would naturally cost more so, no thanks. I'm not a brand snob but we've all been trained by marketing to a certain extent and that much money...

    GPS speed in satnav?

    Why would a phone be inadequate for showing GPS speed? It's should be as accurate as any other speedometer which uses GPS data. Plenty of apps that can do this for free. Here's a good one for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codesector.speedview.free

    Facelift *button drive select ?

    I keep voice guidance on mute, if I'm ever wondering what she has to say there's a dedicated button on the steering wheel to make her talk. :D I guess if I drove in unknown locales I might have it on but I usually find audio cues more distracting than helpful.

    Facelift *button drive select ?

    Mine is the same. Sometimes it stops doing anything and I have to go into the MMI and reset the function.

    Facelift Ordered My RS3 Saloon in Riviera Blue

    Having read about the handling issues of the PFL, I would definitely rather have the FL even if it's won't pop as much. I've never driven a PFL but the new cars have so much grip it's unreal. Definitely no understeer with the fatter shoes up front.

    Facelift Discounts

    None. I was lucky to get one when I did considering I didn't order one. The RS3 has never been available here, and even then they had just landed a week prior.

    Facelift Ordered My RS3 Saloon in Riviera Blue

    It's no Nardo but it's okay. Just joking, that colour looks beautiful. Probably what Ara blue should have been.

    Auto hold assist

    You can do the same thing manually. When you come to a stop, activate the electronic parking brake, once you apply the gas pedal the brake will be automatically released.

    Advice for insurance repair to my beloved RS3

    That's terrible, my sympathies. Good news is Nardo is a pretty easy colour to work with from what I gather. My Nardo RS3 was hit on day 3 and the repaint is quite good. I'm not in Blighty so I can't recommend a specific shop, just do some research and find a reputable one. I don't think going...

    Facelift RS3 FL Bought and sold within a week

    I actually watched it, I have no life and I'm still addicted to any RS3 video. I can see where he's coming from, the RS3 isn't exactly hardcore but isn't that the point? It's a sleeper sports sedan, it's not supposed to chop your head off every time you step on the gas pedal. I don't disagree...

    Facelift Help with RS3 order changes?!

    We're talking the saloon/sedan here, it's not a hatch! I see what you're saying but to me the RS3 is a step above your typical boy racer cars like GTI/Rs, STIs and the like.

    Facelift Help with RS3 order changes?!

    You guys are talking about the new stock alloys for the sedan? I quite like them with gloss black inlays on my car. They aren't the most 'special' looking wheels but they fit the sedan nicely I think. I definitely prefer them to the rotors which looks kind of boy racer-ish to me.

    Facelift Help with RS3 order changes?!

    I would pick black optics with Nardo, general consensus seems to be that but it's a personal choice. Also I would choose sports exhaust and magnetic ride over driver's assistance. With the kind of car the RS3 is I would rather have sportier options over tech options if I had to pick one. You...

    Saloon Nardo Saloon with Aluminium?

    Oh you bet it looks nice! *grin* I still wonder about the Viper Green from the Oman press event. I kind of love it and kind of hate it.

    Yeah I'm in Canada. The RS3 is brand new in North America.

    Saloon Nardo Saloon with Aluminium?

    It's grey, it will never go out of style. I love Nardo more and more every day. I saw another Audi in Ara Blue today and I can't believe I ever considered that for my car. Nardo looks good clean or dirty, and it attracts just the right amount of attention IMO. I agree, I've only seen one...

    Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift RS3 8V In Here

    Hey! Don't trick us like that! Accidents happen I suppose, it was not as bad as it could have been. Nardo is superb. It's so unique yet understated, and people are always commenting on it! Customized plates are pretty much dirt cheap here, but I don't know if I want to get one. If I could get...
