Certainly......here goes......

From the start up bark and crackle as it settled into idle I knew I'd made the right choice cancelling my A45 order and waiting a little longer for this.

For me the sound dominates proceedings all the time. I haven't taken the car out of dynamic mode as I'm in love with that 5 pot warble and bang, crackle on downshifts. A lot of people have mentioned that it isn't aggressive enough or 'RS' enough in the looks department. But I disagree. No it's never going to be an RS6 but in the correct colour and with the correct extras this little beast can look mega imposing.

It helps I have changed the wheels as I've got a lower offset helping the hunkered down look that RS models are renowned for.

The sound is incredible with the sports exhaust. The howl at just over 3k revs is astounding and really gives you goosebumps as it starts to hard charge towards the red line. But nothing prepares you for the violent machine gun crackles and pops as you downshift into a corner. Wow.....

I have to admit the car does have its flaws in the handling department. It is quite nose heavy. Nothing drastic but I wouldn't enjoy this thing on a track, although neither is it built for that purpose. As a road car this thing is formidable and not much would see which way it went down a country lane. The Quattro traction and mid corner grip is hugely satisfying once you've got that nose into the corner, it'll just hold on.

All in all I can't see many being disappointed with long term ownership of the car. 28-30 mpg is achievable but put your foot down and that sinks.....fast! Great build quality and some great reactions from fellow enthusiasts and drivers alike make this a really rewarding car to enjoy and own.

5 stars from me!

All detailed up and ready to enjoy!

Cambridge Audi have a used Black (Panther) Black on the Audi.co.uk used cars section. £49,990!!! Hoping mine will look a bit like this and glad I'm having Titanium wheels and no red callipers. Can't seem to down load pictures but they are there for all to see on Audi.co.uk used cars and search..

 

[RYuill]

For all you black lovers

 

[Bond Villain]

For all you black lovers

That looks amazing.....

 

[Spaceman_RS3]

Mine will be pretty much like that but with the Quattro front

Mine too. Have gone with Alu mirrors and brake calipers though.

 

[Spaceman_RS3]

Ali mirrors here too actually. Going to get dealer to get me some carbon ones in to take away and chafe when I fancy it. Red brakes tho

 

[RGBARGEE]

Like the look of carbon mirrors but thought the Red calipers drew too much attention whereas I like the stealth look. Personal choice though.

 

[Spaceman_RS3]

I always wanted my b7 rs4 brakes to be red so when the same ones with option of red on the rs3 was there it was a must hope they don't look out of place against the all black. Went black leather super sports with red stitch

Take a look on audi.co.uk used cars RS3 ... There's a black one with Red calipers ..I'm not sure the effect works so I didn't go for them .

 

[Spaceman_RS3]

I like it happy days

[Foxtrot_Oscar]

I didn't realise that de-badging removed the front badge as well.

 

[Terminator x]

I specifically asked for the front badge to be removed so I don't know if that's just me or if "they all do that Sir"! Anyone else de-badged and can confirm?

TX.

 

[Right&Glory]

On the configurator it deletes both front and rear...

Not sure what I prefer tbh...

 

[Terminator x]

I like the low key nature of no badge on the basis that those in the know will know whilst the vast majority won't! Tbf most people just walk past it which is fine by me
