£10 says by the end of his time with it he makes up some ridiculous excuse about why he won’t buy it whether he likes it or not. Because a GTI Clubsport is better anyway.

It’ll be the interior that lets it down.

No doubt. Not convinced the Clubsport interior is any better though, so…

Yes correct, the RS3 Achilles heel, the mighty CS GTI

It’s only one of the 2 guys, someone else drove the car, so, a different opinion
Yeah l got that after viewing it summary drives well but the interior ain't up to standard etc etc
But Ben from evilGT defense was Audi put the money into the car on how it drives and not the interior which l find is a lame excuse because the interior is inherent to the A3

I tend to agree with him, from the point of view that they spent the money on the drivetrain and as little as possible on the interior to keep their costs down as much as possible.

And still hike up the price

Or from Audi's point of view ''If we make the car drive well for once we can get away with a sh+te interior and save some money to pay for Dieselgate''

I have gotta disagree mate as its the same interior more or less as a A3/S3,price difference between a S3 and RS3 is larger than its ever been £10k plus just add a gold 8 r trick diff and some think it's worth it ??

Your First Audi?
l have always bought Audi's for their interiors and build quality.... speed is secondary to me as there's only so fast one can go on public roads
We all have different reasons for buying I'll most likely sell mines as soon as its rolled off the Transporter compensation for the long wait

Yer. I’m a bmw fan tbh - Audis never really interested me - but didn’t like the sound of the m3, plus some interior elements were too gareish for my taste, so had to look elsewhere. Considered a few options including cayman gts4.0 and ftype v8 but timing for 8y release was just meant to be

Similar to you, speed is a secondary consideration tbh. Sound was top billing for me this time around.

Said it before externally l cannot find fault with new RS3 8Y Saloon Audi have nailed it with the Saloon...hatchback not so much but again not a hatchback kinda guy
I saw a new M4 fly past me on a dual carriageway a few weeks ago a silver/grayish colour it looked amazing so much road presence it had a pimped up 8v Fl S3 saloon up its ar$e trying to stupidly to have a go at it....lol
No doubt new RS3 8Y owners will get similar contempt like this M4 owner was getting

It’s taking a bit of getting used to tbh. People pull out in front of you, tailgate all the time and even straight up ignore priority but blame me for them failing to give way on one occasion!!!

That being said I have had a few people wave and give a thumbs up about the car when waiting at the lights so a mixed bag so far shall we say

I only encountered one incident when l had my TTS a guy in a older X3 trying to undertake me in a busy M road dual carriageway actually l wouldn't let him mainly because he was seriously tailgating me and there was upcoming traffic....he made 4 attempts at it....why l dont know l just gave up as l approached my exit junction.....i tend to find driving at weekends is when one is more likely to come across the idiots....and never on my daily commute

Agreed - both a good and bad thing but it is proper stealthy and also quite aggressive.

Going to give it a clean tomorrow… first of many occasions no doubt
