Newbie to RS246

[JoolsDeVillan]

We've had our RS3 since last October and currently closing in on 7k miles....
Been a long time Audi devote and currently experiencing a number of issues you guys all seem to be having, especially the squeaky brakes although this is usually only in slow traffic. Occasional brake grinding and rapid ticking sound which we put down to fuel pump.
Having been on the TT forum for many years its taken sometime to catch on to this site but we're certainly glad we've now found you, seemingly lots of like minded 'sensible' people who love their motors.
I've put up a few of our images on the gallery from our collection day last year from Stafford Audi and will upload some more when the weather gets better and the cars been detailed in the next few weeks.
Enjoy your Rs's !!

Hi and welcome.

What colour is your RS3?

My car was detailed by Miglior Detailing, Jay did a superb job.

Hi Guys,

We're based in the Lichfield area although have been using Stafford Audi for many years after all the local dealers became too corporate for their own good...
Got to be honest I wasn't sure about the red wheels either when we bought the car new it had already been up for sale quite a few months and the deal they offered made it too good to pass up, after all we were thinking of changing the wheels to BBS CH-R's anyway.
However as the car came specified with Audi Exclusive red leather steering wheel and controls pack all of which adds some much needed colour to the interior the red wheels are now growing on us plus it does set the car off quite well with the black optics option and the Daytona paint.

I know it all comes down to personal taste, but I just do not get the red leather thing....

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome!
Your RS3 looks great in Sepang the pictures make it look quite similar to our old TTS (Sprint blue) although I understand its much darker in reality.
The photos of your previous car collection seem very similar to our own car history although you did the EVO option and we tried the WRX, I must say the GTR would have been a step too far us although they are undoubtedly very fast.
Having now tried a few Audi's would you stick with their cars? We're very much caught between Audi & Porsche?

GT-Rs are epic but just hard to live with as an Everyday Drive (think there a Car that you have to try before you die lol)
Think Audi have some great Cars now as above got a TT-RS Plus on order just the bloody squeaky Brakes that I could do without.
