Had the RS3 in today changing the discs again, during which I had the opportunity to drive the new shape S3 Sportback and was rather impressed!

 

The new interior design was smart and made mine feel a little dated, plus I was surprised at how quickly it accelerated..honestly didn't feel far behind mine. The exhaust note on the gear changes to.... :o

 

I am really tempted to part ex my RS3 to one of these for a possible delivery in December...However, I can only  imagine that the new RS3 is without a doubt worth waiting for instead!

 

Anyone else driven this model yet?

Going to nip down to have a look at one....  Although i'd still be waiting for the RS version no matter how good it is.

Nice, does that mean you can take it on your own for a while?

 

I've dealt with David in service and Adam in sales, both very helpful

Hmmm Interesting....the very same car I am going to have an extended test drive in next week (need to confirm a date)

 

Look like a mini RS4!

 

How do you deal with at Bolton Stefano?

wonder wot sort of discounts we could be looking at potentially..

Doubt it Garry, suspect it will get harder rather than easier.

No way I would swap the 5 pot for a 4 pot. I asked Audi about the new RS3 and they said there is no plans for one currently. I will be mighty pissed off if they have been wasting time on that RSQ3 or whatever its called and don't produce an 8V RS3!

The dealers are always the last to know about new models. Gives them plausible deniability when they sell a customer an S3 and then the RS3 is announced the next day...

RS3 8V | RS3 8P
