Suprising ?

no premium on it at all

I do wonder who spec'd it though ... a miser obviously, how can you have an Audi 'RS' .. the halo line, with no BOSE ?

in fact, i think it has zero options aside from Optics & Bluetooth

pity

IMO, you have to get the spec right on these, else its just a S3 with a nice engine

Not liking those wheel at all!
Will be interesting to see how RS3s surf the depreciation curve over the next 12-18 months.

+1 - it is a limited run after all. Has the C6 RS plus nose dived as hard as the 'standard'?

True dat but there were 'standards' coming out of the factory at the same time, ne?
The RS3 really is in a world of it's own, shame there's no three door version, yet.

With reference to depreciation of the RS3, CAP reports that the Audi RS 3 Sportback has the strongest residual values of any series production car currently available in the UK.

It estimates 49% after 3 years.

Those wheels are actually an upgrade!!! £175 but to me devalue the car by about £1750!! LOL

Bluetooth is standard.

I'm loving mine, best car I've ever owned. It does everything and is still very practical.

Great review from a fellow owner here - http://rs6.com/content.php/33-A-Review- ... y-Tailpipe

Yeah! WTF was that about?!?! I thought they only facelifted S models, has this ever happened to an RS before? It's awful and I hate it.
The RS3 is a limited run though right, no chance of that happening...

EDIT: Just read your post re: the RS5 facelift, doh, question answered though, cheers.
