Sorry for the poor quality, only had my phone on me. Have to say I was fairly underwhelmed, tho I think had it been a different colour It might have looked a bit more than just a new Sline, imagine a Noggy one hmmmm.. AliGod78 I had to check if you liked it or not before I thought I'd add. I hate it. There is very little about that styling that reminds me of a real RS. Isn't it all about the arches? Nope, not for me. Although the engine might make up for it, it's just not enough of a 'show off' for my liking. Not that I can afford one anyway. And you went? Lucky! Stay awake the whole time? derdle The wheels look a bit chav to me. marc1 Wow, did it look better in the metal? It really does just look like an S Line to me, which is a shame as I bet it goes well and by all accounts handles better than audi's of old. Nice pics though Jonmurgie Big Gay Grills are in then Don't like it - Audi are ruining the RS badge IMO. guymcc ^ totally agree!  Missed opportunity completely! AdamM Looks a great car but i cant justify the price of these, 40k+ is steep for an A3 regardless to how much power they have. If anything, i prefer the S3 8L of all the sporty A3's.

(and it's not that much smaller) AdamM BennyBoo wrote: AdamM wrote: Looks a great car but i cant justify the price of these, 40k+ is steep for an A3 regardless to how much power they have.

(and it's not that much smaller) For what a good RS3 will cost you (around 45k maybe 50k if you tick every option) you could have an immaculate B7 RS4 and save 10k. As someone stated earlier "i think Audi are ruining the RS badge" i have to agree, i dont want Audi making pointless RS cars like BMW have made pointless M cars such as the X5M and X6M. In 10 years time, the RS3 will not be remembered like the B7 RS4 will or become an Audi great like the RS2 and RS4 B5 have.

Didn't quite manage the whole 24, tho that might of had something to do with the amount of beer inflicted upon us by the crazy Dutch that were camped next to us lol Audi seem to have gone a little more "show off" for the A2 tho lynchy AdamM wrote: BennyBoo wrote: AdamM wrote: Looks a great car but i cant justify the price of these, 40k+ is steep for an A3 regardless to how much power they have.

When the RS2 was available, only die hard car nuts had even heard of them. Even today how many people know what the S1 is? ( or was) bit like college degrees, anyone can get one in any subject! marc1 The A1 really is special though. aka_dk they shud have done the RS 3 in the same spirit they did that A1 its just a S3 with different front bumper and wings the engine is great thou and no mag ride noodles Very true missmouse!Does  anyone know what NVQ stands for??LOL.
