Re: RS3 Saloon
Looks great, very well proportioned. I just hope the driving position is better than the standard saloon.
I had to get shot of a brand new A3 saloon after 6 months as it had such a poor driving position.

Re: RS3 Saloon
Bit of a let down for me looks wise. I was hoping for something amazing but it's just blah. The rear wheel arch is the same as an a3 (arguably no different than before), but I don't like the grille or the rest of the front styling. Wheels are awful (but easy to change). However, it might look a lot better in a different colour with black optics and better wheels.
Re: RS3 Saloon
Defo needs black optics. Defo needs different wheels. Otherwise I like it a lot. I reckon in Daytona (it would blend in) it would get me back into a RS even if it's just for the wifey.

Re: RS3 Saloon
Black optics, different wheels and a modest drop, and i think it'll look great!
Not keen on those seats though...

Re: RS3 Saloon
Not wide enough! Audi seem to go through phases of getter my it right and getting it wrong, lol.
Re: RS3 Saloon
Yeah disappointing. not enough anger and killers looks for me especially given what it will cost. pity as my S3 saloon was going to be a stop gap until the RS3 saloon arrived. not so sure now.

Re: RS3 Saloon
Massively disappointing with the arches they look non-existent
I think the way forward is the felt-spec double-bluff!
Re: RS3 Saloon
Are those press cars sporting ceramics?
That article Ozzy links to refers to the 'flared arches' - god only knows what car they were looking at! And optional wider front tyres, but no mention of wider rears.
Sadly I think Audi have missed the point once again.

It's all torque talk.
Re: RS3 Saloon
Wider front tyres (with standard width rears) have been an option on all the RS3s so far to help prevent it understeering.smudge wrote:

Re: RS3 Saloon
The adjustable haldex (via MMI) sounds good though. And the RS specific virtual dash option (big rev counter in the middle if I remember correctly).

Ah, didn't know that. Although according to Evo, they failed.......MikeFish wrote:Wider front tyres (with standard width rears) have been an option on all the RS3s so far to help prevent it understeering.smudge wrote:
