    RS3 vs Golf R400?

    To be fair, it is BEAUTIFUL.

    Car Change-over

    Not sure I follow: you were given a figure in September (after how many months of your agreement?), and then were told that the same figure would apply the following March, even though i) the car was older, but ii) you had paid a number of payments more. So you can turn the car in at that time...

    Car Change-over

    Fair enough - I suppose three months with no car isn't the end of the world - and it's all extra saving time!

    Car Change-over

    Ah I see - yes I may have to change before the end, then... Can you 'calculate' your end-of-36-month equity after, say, 30 months so that a dealers will say "okay you'll have £2k equity to play with in six months' time", so that you can run your own finance calculations and order something new...

    Car Change-over

    I know this is of general application, but seeing as a bunch of you are going through this... If you have a car on PCP, and you are buying another, what happens with dovetailing the end of one deal and the start of another? Say your deal finishes in January, and you ordered a new car (say an...

    RS3 Review by Carspy

    If I were to buy one, it's the only colour I'd go for...

    RS3 as a daily driver.... (and insurance for a 21 year old)

    Fair play to be doing well enough by the age of 21 to afford one (assuming that it's not a leg up from the bank of mum and dad)...

    First thoughts?

    Is that launch control vid downhill?! It's obviously difficult to time exactly, but it's about 3.5 seconds to 60mph!!

    Trade in for RS3?

    It's not exactly £7.5k off... the £5k negative equity is a notional figure that, really, Audi Finance are in control of... it depends on when they deem the interest as falling due against early repayment.

    RS3 on leasing

    No balloon on a lease - it's a lease!! The "balloon" element you're thinking of from PCP is notionally covered by handing the car back, as it's never yours...

    RS3 vs Golf R400?

    What is interesting is the rumour that Porsche will be turning to four pots for the next iterations of the Cayman and the Boxter. Both are very highly regarded cars, and I can't see Porsche wanting to either a) lose the meaty sound or b) synthesise it through speakers a la BMW M3/4. If it is...

    RS3 Volume(!)

    Yeah fair enough - I wonder whether the same would be true of a TT-S/RS as, though it's the most modern platform etc., you're that much lower to the ground...

    RS3 on leasing

    The trouble is with leasing is the deals are only competitive if you put no options on. There doesn't seem to be a recognition for this in their pricing mechanism, and so if you had an RS3 specced to £47-50k, the per month cost would absolutely rocket.

    RS3 on leasing

    Define sense: I don't pay that now, but whenever I upgrade from an S1 I think I'll probably end up spending that much money per month. The fact is, I live in London and don't need a car at all and, to the extent I do, there'd be nothing wrong with getting a little Dacia for £99 per month...

    RS3 Volume(!)

    It seems most on here are big fans of the brutish noise that the sports exhaust makes (me too!). However, I was just wondering... Whilst it's not quite the same, I also like the sound of my S1 in dynamic mode, but sometimes it's not wanted when it's midnight and I'm on a long motorway drive...

    RS3 on leasing

    Unfortunately it's a good chunk higher than that where I am, Jose! :(

    RS3 on leasing

    You obviously don't live in London if you think £700pcm is mortgage money!

    TT-RS vs RS3

    I've not tried the new TT screen but have to say that I'm normally slapping my girlfriend's wrists as she tries to fiddle with things in my S1, so maybe I would quite like it!! :) I don't think they'll concede on the virtual dash per se - as it's already springing up elsewhere - but agree that...

    TT-RS vs RS3

    Hi all Just curious... I was wondering what people's motivations on here are behind opting for an RS3 as opposed to waiting for the inevitable TT-RS that will probably come along late this year or early next? There are, of course, two obvious ones being: 1) Waiting another year (or more) and...

    Hill hold assist

    If you have to pay for it, I don't see the point. Presumably it's for when you're creeping around, in which case just use the brake more carefully (to prevent lunging forward) or move your foot a bit more quickly from the brake to the accelerator (to prevent going backwards). When I test drove...
