S3 sedan, anyone know if RS3 on cards
Re: S3 sedan, anyone know if RS3 on cards
Would be a tempting option I recon
The current RS3 is old tech and will underwhelm I think, 8 odd year old platform! Pop the 5 pot and up it to high 300/400hp and its a winner

Not true, there is not a single saloon in the current RS range. And no plans for one either, as far as I know.Nickyboy wrote:

You're right but it does feel like it!
Re: S3 sedan, anyone know if RS3 on cards

We have 2 A45s at work, very bling and I hate the bonnet line down the wing
The a45 saloon might be interesting in yellow with the AMG black playlist. Spoiler

The nav console looks as thought there is an iPad velcro'd to the dash.
Not for me I'm afraid

I also love how DK states the RS3 is "<beep>", when he was raving about it initially? I too am in a fortunate position to have access to some luxury cars (none are mine, my father is as much of a car nut as me) and yes compared to cars 3 times the price it will always come 2nd. To call it <beep> is just spouting nonsense IMHO.
Current - 2017 Nardo RS5 

Re: S3 sedan, anyone know if RS3 on cards
You are welcome to your opinion, and so am I
As I said, my 9500 miles had ups and downs, at time I thought it was a great little car, but on reflection I don't think it was very good at all.
And I maintain that a B7 RS 4 is a better car in every department IMO and that probably costs three times LESS !!

Re: S3 sedan, anyone know if RS3 on cards
And pound for pound the S4 or S5 3.0Supercharged is miles better than the RS 3.
Miles better.
Add MRC and its significantly outgunned.
I had a dude come round my house the other day in a A5 3.0TDI remapped with a full OEM RS 5 bodykit at 20" wheels. It looked awesome!
I think a S5 Coupe 3.0TFSI with RS 5 body kit + MRC is one heck of a package!!
RS 3 is simply way too old a car IMO.

What's the point of this s3 sedan when it looks much like an s4? I'm missing something, I'm sure, but don't know what!

Re: S3 sedan, anyone know if RS3 on cards
Americans are far more likely to buy a sedan/saloon than an estate/wagon/Avant - so it's Audi chasing US market share.gangstarrrrr wrote:What's the point of this s3 sedan when it looks much like an s4? I'm missing something, I'm sure, but don't know what!

I think DK knows a thing or two about fast Audis considering he's driven [not test driven]and lived with most if not all of them .The first week he had the RS3 he said it was not as good as a TTRS which is in the same price bracket.
