Hi

On my first RS3 which I have had for around 3 months now. I had to buy a used model due to the RS3 production ending a few weeks before I looked. I came from an RS4 B8 to this so was seemingly a step down. However, once you get used to the RS3 it becomes almost addictive to get in and just drive.

So, from my side I can only say to have a drive of at least one and take it from there....

I'm sure you will get plenty of good advice from the guys on here.

Good luck
