Turbo blue.

Frankenstein special.

No pano roof, but I ain’t too bothered.

Brand new car.

It’ll tide me over until my exclusive Vorsprung turns up in 2023.

I know a lot of guys that would be over the moon and work all hours of the day to get an RS3 of any description , let alone a new one just to get you over till next year.
What are you lot like.

The only thing I'm disappointed with in the car is the quality of the reversing camera - not that I use them much anyway but it's the quality you would expect of something from aliexpress/wish. It looks borderline 720p at a push but more inbetween 480p-720p. (I know you can get some decent stuff on there aside).

agreed … the Merc was pin sharp & I made a comment about the Audi camera a few weeks ago. I initially wondered if it was faulty lol but it’s just very pi$$ poor low res. Small niggle in the grand scheme but baffling why Audi penny pinched on it.

The quality, sorry lack of quality was mentioned on one of the 8Y S3 postings previously, not sure if its worse that the camera on the 8V versions or the same.

I think it’s a very good car, the chassis has really moved on, very pointy with no hint of the front pulling wide at all.

I’m astounded, it’s better than I even remember on the test drive.

Looks good in Blue :)

So did your car originally have silver trim and wheels?

Yes. The dealer had them done in black and the trims wrapped.
Makes a big difference and saved me a job getting them done.

No disrespect to the silver trim lovers, looks far better in black imho.

Yeah, the RS3 should never win against the RS6 once they’re rolling especially, that’s where I was most surprised. Seemed like the RS3 was gapping the RS6 the whole way despite being around 200hp down, which really doesn’t make sense.

Drove this tonight and l can honestly say this is the best sounding car I've ever driven....so visceral and brutal even with wltp restrictions....718 GTS.....

Same RS6 used in the Carwow RS drag race where it won easy against the RS3
 
So what parking sensors on the saloon are different from that of the sportback

Strange that.
However they do seem to have pulled the plug on the Saloon quickly.
