I mentioned the wheels and the exhaust. The wheel arches look identical to me. Which are supposed to be flared, front or back? Are rear tints an RS3 only option? The diffuser is just black plastic in a different shape to the black plastic on the other cars and the bumpers are *slightly* different. To most non-enthusiasts, it's pretty much the same car (unless they hear it!), and the same as your auntie's TDi S-line. The TT is much more distinctive.From those angles I can see different rear defuser, flared wheel arches, side skirts on the s-line and then lower ones on the RS3, big massive exhausts, larger wheels, rear tints, and finally lower rear bumpers.
Quite a lot of differences.

Well of course I've seen an RS3, I own one.
My point is that if people are saying that the TTRS doesn't shed the image of its lesser 'hairdresser' variants, then neither does the RS3 shed the image of its lesser A3 variants. It's really not that much different and the base A3 is much cr**er than the base TT IIRC.
As it happens I parked up next to one last night at the supermarket. I was going to take photos but thought it might look dodgy. At the time I was trying to verify the claim that the RS3 is longer & wider but it didn't seem it to me. I think you'd need a tape measure to verify it.But the TT will always be a bit of a hairdresser model. That's the point I'm trying to make. Criminals love to steal the S3 / RS3 but even they will stay clear of a TT in case it ruins their cred when doing a bank job.
But seriously, park your RS3 up next to an A3 S-Line and you will see. My sister has one, difference is seriously clear.
I was being sarcastic mate. My point is that an RS3 in my eyes sits head and shoulders above A3 variants. My missus has a A3 and side to side from every angle you can tell the difference in my opinion.Well of course I've seen an RS3, I own one.

the bank robbers aren't ever going to use a 3 door car.
I seriously can't see that, the Cayman is meant to be a serious machine... and that pedigree, speaks for itself... but maybe... who knows. Depends if Toni & Guy are reviewing it...Who knows, the new TT might be better to drive than the Cayman. Unlikely, but it's not even out yet, so a bit early to judge.
What about a TT convertible. That sounds more up your street?Thing is the Cayman has gone to a 4-pot turbo and lost that epic soundtrack. Sounds more like a Subaru now and every review has slated it for that. Plus, Porsche are worse than Audi for selling you a basic car and requiring you to spend heavily on extras that are needed to make the Cayman the best it can be. Once that is factored in and you then compare, the Cayman is a £65K motor, so hardly a £50k option. At least the TTRS is really well spec'd for the basic motor and it will sound epic with that new 5-pot. That makes choosing a little more difficult and I actually think I would get the **** ripped out of me more for the mid-life crisis image of the Cayman than any hairdresser sexist *****.
To be fair, Jassy, it is an RS3 forumYe know what l think...its the same old same old some RS3's guys are all on the back foot again...lol...There's Always a Bigger Fish...lol and more expensive bigger fish..lol
To be fair, Jassy, it is an RS3 forum
And no... bigger fish, not for me. Give me my RS3 any day of the week.
RS4 for me next pal. Proper car, no messing...
So when is it happening..RS4 must be at least this time next year..and in what form...Avant...Some high up Head of Audi Sales,told me last Sunday...that Audi are giving them,a sneek Preview of the RS4 along side the RS3 Saloon....this winter...???,hopefully for Audi's sake, because the car current best selling car line up is truely woeful looking...no pizazz in other words...Audi are in great need of some RS models
Not sure, but it's been spotted on test. Maybe next year, like you say. Avant all the way! One of the legendary RS models!So when is it happening..RS4 must be at least this time next year..and in what form...Avant...Some high up Head of Audi Sales,told me last Sunday...that Audi are giving them,a sneek Preview of the RS4 along side the RS3 Saloon....this winter...???,hopefully for Audi's sake, because the car current best selling car line up is truely woeful looking...no pizazz in other words...Audi are in great need of some RS models

Me... for my rapidly growing dog.Who the **** wants an estate though !!!!!!
I certainly don't !

I certainly don't !
Because the new RS3 is going to be a saloon.Ok that's 2 of you
Ok yes it's gonna be an awesome car totally agree & as far as estates go they are good looking cars and I get that some people want an estate .... but why not offer a saloon variant as then I would consider it ???

The hatch will be the new RS1?
But hatch is my preference, so if the facelift RS3 is saloon only then what ... TT is 2 seater, 3 is saloon & 4 is estate !
Audi generally offer a crazy amount of variants across many of the ranges so why limit the RS models like this ?
Why do you need a hatch (well a Sportback to be precise, which is more mini-estate than hatch IMO)?
Current RS4 is only 37cm longer than the RS3, looks better for it too, proportions of the RS4 are spot on.

To be fair, 37cm is quite a bit of length of you have a garage!
