Re: Should I sell the rs4 and buy a 3?
I'm not a fan of the B8 RS4. Those arches ruin it for me. Like the C6.
Love the RS3 though. This might soon be on my "must have" list...

Well I went into guildford Audi today to see if they had an rs3 to test drive, unfortunately they only had a brand new one to look at, when I told the salesman what car I had he Told me that the b7 is such a good car and so ahead for it's time that it's gonna be a hard ask to better the car at the mo, I'm def going to test drive a 3 next week in Sussex but I reckon im gonna end up keeping mine for now unless I get blown away by the test drive next week

I think you will miss the V8 rumble Silas and the space it offers over the RS3.

Re: Should I sell the rs4 and buy a 3?
defiantly get what you like
both cars sound amazing imo, i prefer the 3 but that's because i am a massive group b nut

i think the 3 has more leg room in the rear (for my seat position, the sportback is only 10cm shorter than the RS2) because of the higher seat, the 4 has a much better driving position

I've been watching that clip loads, that's what has made me think wow I want one

Hi, having owned a RS4 saloon, RS4 cab and now a RS3. I have to say the saloon is still my favorite car,that said I love the 3. Its is so easy to live with and the gearbox is awsome. In real life it is a very quick car and you won't miss any speed, it's just different. Go and have a drive to see what you think, that's the only way to tell and 33mpg isn't a bad thing on a run with the family in the car.

Re: Should I sell the rs4 and buy a 3?
they have the RS5 for people wanting 4 door and cabrio RS cars so avant only on the new 4 kinda makes sense, the 5 is supposed to be better now its been updated to the same spec as the new 4scaghead wrote:could well be a legend, as they are not building a replacement...strange really as the saloon was the better sellerD_K wrote:AgreeRS4MAD wrote:Hi, having owned a RS4 saloon, RS4 cab and now a RS3.
