Nein.

The brakes should be bedded in carefully before using in any sporty driving. Essentially it tells Wayne he should drive it really slowly for the first 36 months, and gradualally open the car up later in 2016...

Hello hyfr. Excuse my asking but do you have a personal opinion on why you don't dig the RS3 or is it experience?

Search is your friend, plenty of DK's (HFYR) views o the rs3 forum.

From my perspective it's a car you want to love but as time goes on the downsides (handling and interior for me) niggle more and more. Engine and gearbox are great the rest not so much.

In summary, as doodlebug says

Engine gearbox great

Everything else a massive let down
