I'm very pleased with my Daytona car.

Much more eye catching than black; they are very common with cooking A3s.

I'm gonna be the odd one out then... I prefer black (both my cars are black).

I reckon Daytona looks like a black T-shirt that's faded through being washed too many times.

There I said it... :drink:

I like both, I think Daytona is a more common colour on the RS3

RS4 B7 2006 Phantom Black with Titan alloys and mirrors - GONE :(

Daytona is a surprisingly common colour on the RS3. I guess it combines low-key with 'exclusive' to hit some kind of sweet spot.

Given the chance I would have had Sepang...

Sepang is far superior to Racing Mica!

It's a shame that the colour options are being reduced. Only standard blue offering on new RS6 is Estoril blue and that doesn't do much for me. More ching for exclusive.
