MacD I like to keep my cars as original as possible ,my RS3 has the piano black inlays which are a nightmare for finger marks and dust so will be doing something with them,also will debadge the rear.Vito the one next to it is older[my car was registered jan 2013],a lot more miles[mine 4k] no optics but it had the bucket seats which are no good for me as i have an elderly parent who relies on me for transport .

Its a whole different experience to the S4, I had one in the same colour as a courtesy car and clocked up 1600 miles!

looks great, I'm sure the S4 will be nothing but a distant memory after a week of RS ownership

I definatley made the right choice,my 3 previous cars were Mercs as i don't need a big car and wanted to stay with Audi but didnt want an S3 as i felt it would be a step backwards the RS3 fitted the bill.My S4 was well specced B&O ,heated black and silver Supersport seats,convienence pack,technology pack high 19" wheels folding and dimming mirrors ,park assist plus with reverse camera,hill hold assist .The power delivery is a lot smoother due to the supercharger,the interior is a lot more comfortable as the ride is softer but so it should be because it is an S.The RS3 is more of a drivers car ,the positive steering and the grip is much better,its more nimble, which suits my needs as i do most of my driving around town and A&B roads .The Bose is good but not as good as the B&O but who needs either with the sound of that 5pot under hard acceleration. The S4 was Phantom Black which suited the car and looked great when detailed.The RS3 in Daytona grey with the optics looks even better and im looking foreward to detailing her.All in all they're two different cars and to sum it up in a few words its horses for courses.Oh and the RS3 is more fuel efficient so im doing my bit for the planet not that we worry about that sort of thing when we buy these cars.
