That equates to £38,500 based on the current exchange rate.

I should have stated that is for the saloon, as that is the only available format in Canada.

Seems too cheap for us here? :/ I would be made up if it was anywhere near £40k. Dreading to see that it is going to be £45k.

$5,800 for ceramic brakes omfg

Probabaly worth paying though to avoid the squealing $hi7 standard brakes

My brakes were at it again this morning. I'd heard Audi were putting a fix in place...anyone heard any news on this?

Yep ... dampers fitted last week ... & started squealing again within 3 days: a great fix thanks Audi.
All that has changed is the frequency & pitch of the squeal - not impressed !
Car is amazing other than the brakes which are just terrible & totally unacceptable.

Quite a few guys I know have had round discs fitted now. Others have been offered and one guy is running red stuff as per Johns recommendation and finds them. Ugh and day good clean discs and no squeal at all

Couldn't agree more. If it came in at 40k I'd be ****** delighted!!!!!! However, no chance. If it is 47/48 then I'm out I'm afraid as don't want to spend much more than 45k, but nothing else that sets the appetite. New a45 perhaps?

I've never like Mercedes. I certainly wouldn't pay £50k for a noise like the S3 I have now.

A £600 map on the S3 will take it over 380hp.

The Golf R/S3 are exceptionally fast with a remap or even a tuning box. Mine felt as fast as my RS3. But the engine just sounds awful. It was my biggest criticism of it.

Definitely agree!

When I last drove an RS3 (before I had the S3) it really underwhelmed me. The sound was good as always, but it genuinely didn't feel quick. I've driven now 4x RS3's, but for some reason that last one didn't feel as quick.

The car had myself and 2 passengers in, it was an 8000 mile car used by an accounts manager. It has had me thinking ever since there was something wrong with that car, my early recollections are that the car was phenomenal.

I'm waiting for my dealer to get an approved one in so I can go drive one again, but there haven't been any yet. Very much looking forward to the facelift, I am interested how the extra 90ps will feel now I am daily driving a quick car.

My dealer has pre-sold his allotment of 10 vehicles and has a waiting list. Methinks, it will become a bit of a collectors item in North America and will really hold its value, as there was no previous model of an RS3 sold here and the five cylinder engine makes it more unique.

Them Requil dampers just don't work as they are designed to absorb the resulting vibration (squeal) and NOT address the cause...

warning: EVERY car I pick depreciates rapidly!

I won't be buying if it's 45k. Way too much, the rs3 at 40k wad overpriced as it's was

 

[Spaceman_RS3]
