The rear tyres are nearing 2mm now so the back end is getting a bit frisky which only adds to the excitement!
Wow, that is indeed great testament. I've not spent that much time in one, but it certainly was comfortable which i guess is something jaguar should excel at.

Exciting times at JLR & i'll certainly be taking a much closer look when the time comes to move from the M5.

Oh dear. Poor old man has made a dreadful decision :thumbsdown:

All looks a little too 'Halfords' for me I'm afraid.

...Because it's a very nice car. Just bought a new one for wifey :thumb:

Love the RS product. My current C7 RS6 is 3rd RS iv'e owned. New RS6 performance on order for March 17 too.

So why is the RSQ3 there? Because it fits in the RS product range quite perfectly. 4.8 Secs to 62 is just fine & the SQ5 which I had for 4 months can't match that. Not even the nice SQ5 Plus that's due soon.

By the way RS246 forum it's not 306 HP anymore and for now its 340 HP.

Cheers,

Greg

I guess it is all subjective. I drove the new RSQ3 at an Audi Sport day earlier in the year in the hope that I would be convinced it was actually a great car. I was far from impressed. I drove the SQ5 prior to it and found that to be far more enjoyable to drive.
It's all torque talk.

Hi. I own RSQ3 and it is quite popular here in Russia where I leave. In one word the car is great. In two - for that price range you have an RS3 that has ugly and smaller interior and TTRS that is totally)) smaller than RS3 with the same engine and transmission. I can say after a tuning that is a very fast cart)) Lowering suspension with Bilstain and HR -3cm, cold intake and custom double exhaust with Revo Stage 2 program adapted for the fuel in Russia it can launch from 3.8-4.2 0-100 easily and has 420+hp on board with the stock turbo. SQ5 S3 Lol))) Image

I can say that 100-200 is not good 12sec. average but when Revo adapted their stage 3 program for that model and we can get the turbo to tte500 or laba it would easy 100-200 from 8 or many 7 seconds. With more comfort than any RS3 or TTRS

It could be anything that you can imagine pony, horse, cat - as you wish. It is a subjective of design you like or not. I said that for that price range you can't get anything NEW better and faster 4WD SUV with the great tuning potential of 2.5T engine and DSG with better comfort inside comparing to the RS3 and TTRS with the same engine and transmission. I'm talking about new car not aftermarket. RS4, SQ5, Maccan Turbo...I can list a lot of cars that could be more brutal in design and much expensive... Price???? And when I see 99% of cars in the rear mirror. It is fun))

It only question of what you need and how much money you have. Here we have a very snowy winters -4WD, parking problems - SUV. You want fast car - 2.5T with DSG - How much money you want to spent for a new car? If I live somewhere in Europe and have particular sum of money may be I bye RS3 or TTRS because of their much more boy like history)) That again because of the stereotype the Q3 is the wife's car. But when from 12 month of a year 6 is winter and you live between 5 millions cars on the road every damn day. You are thinking about practicity and only after that about design. And from other hand you want that car to be fast - RSQ3 is the only choice)

As I said before, it's all subjective. Everyone has and is entitled to an opinion......

To me, it would never be a consideration, even if I was living in Russia. I don't like it, just like the RS3.

The RSQ3 has a single exhaust pipe.

Functionally I know single pipe vs double pipe means nothing, but aesthetically it makes all the difference.
Panamera ST Turbo, RS6 (C7), Cayenne Turbo S (958), RS4 (B8), ML63 (2010), 997.1 TT, 997 4S, ML63 (2008), CL55, CLK320, Toyota Corolla GTi 16v, Honda CRX, Passat V6

That's what I thought. Apparently only one is actually active on the TTRS, so the fake side is there to balance aesthetically.

Is the one below a modified exhaust Musicmaker?
