Hi all, finally decided to trade the RS4 cab in for a RS3 !! Starting to get excited like a young kid, is this normal at 42 years old ? Should be doing the deal on Thursday or Friday. Will post a picture (if I can remember how !!!) at the weekend.

Put over 5000 miles on mine now. On the way home tonight, I had the s button pressed, stability off and in manual mode. Wow, just amazing and I even had the tail out a few times while pulling out of junctions with no cars around.
Truly amazing rs with a split personality like any good rs. That's what makes the gearbox so great. During the day stick her I auto and just relax
You might miss the Bose but hey just wind your windows down and listen to the noise

You can always spot someone who has never driven a 3, there bonkers little boxes
The gearbox is to die for in real world use, the wet clutch is so much better than the old dry clutch DSG's, mine cruises in londons worst with no issues

Sorry Guy's,
not had time to take any picture's of the car or even drive it much as my little boy had to have an operation on his finger. He got it trapped in a fire door, at his cousins house. So the car has been the last thing on my list .
