Its only 4inches longer and two inches wider body wise than the RS3 so not much externally bigger but its 7inches higher giving easier access .Profile view needed Ben,its a big un isn't it ?
Has it a decent sized sized boot Ben ?
Looks good in Red ! not that I'm biased or anything.
Sorry for bringing this down, but that's awful. The q3 is comparable to the just as hideous Nissan qashqai
Morning all,
Say have you had the chance to test drive the RSQ3? If so, what's it like?
Not yet, I'm waiting for them to phone me when its registered so i can have it for a day for a proper test-drive .
It would have to be a really great drive for me to swop.Interested to see what you say about it. My mum has got a Q3 and I'm not the biggest fan of it but I like the look of the RSQ3. Although, it doesn't have those lovely accentuated arches like the RS3
Would you be looking to swap to an RSQ3 if you liked it enough?
Never got round to it,as soon as i found out there was no adjustable suspension i knew the car wasn't for me.Hi daytona500 did you get a test drive of the rsq3 ?
I picked my RS3 up from Coventry Audi on Saturday and the guy who collected me from the station reckoned it handles terribly! and thats from an Audi employee......
nowhere near an RS3 although now I'm a little worried they've been ragging my motor about!
Please explain...
You need to give us some more information and not what some "Audi/Coventry Audi employee" says.
Well I havent personaly driven an RSQ3 but as I say the emplyee had and reckoned it handled terribly.......just saying
On the other hand my new Misano Red RS3 was a joy to drive and although I havent ragged it (too hard!) handled very nicely
The single exhaust just looks so wrong and in-balanced ... more so for an RS !
Interesting view, I take it you disapprove of the S3 8V's move to quad pipes.
Personally I prefer balanced exhausts (mirrored each side), if for nothing else but a bit of visual parity. I don't like the shouty Quattro badge emblazoned in the new RS grilles as you mention the subject of badging, but I suppose it's whatever floats your boat. For me it's about how something makes me feel personally, sod all the other road users (I'm not really sure other people care do they?).
Yeah that's where I was coming from.
No problem with one exhaust but in this instance it just looks odd and I would much prefer to see another the other side to balance it out.
One big FO exhaust looks odd imo.
And yeah the Quattro stenciling on the lower front grill is a bit out of character for this car too and not to my taste.
It has nice lights, alloys and paint though
As for the RS3, this photo knocks me out, and has me checking my Bank balance...:
That's doing it for me, how I expected it to leave factory. Love the RS twin pipe. Just needs slight alignment as right pipe is higher than left.
That's bad that a Audi salesman said that to you as they are meant to big up every car they sell. Also it's very different to what all the magazines are saying especially EVO MAG they love the ****** thing. I'll be able to let you all know what I think once my mum/me rack up 1000 miles in her Q3RS
