So back to RS2. It's acceleration without depreciation, and a good chance of appreciation?

I know of 2 coming into Napier, one is sold to my Dr, and the ex owner of the sliver S3 Ive guessing you drove is meant to have an option on one.

Sorry no hijack intended - yes it was the silver S3 and the ex owner brought an S5 so there must be a RS3 up for grabs in Napier!

Im friends with the ex owner of the S3, even though he has the S5 he told me he still has an option on an RS3.

RS3 looks funny with it's front being noticeably wider than the rear.

Why didn't they bulge out the rear guards a bit more like the RS4 ?

Wider front tyres (235 vs. 225) don't help either.

Not feeling the love.

Off to check out this BMW 1M thingy...

;D

I agree. British roads are different plus the spec could be different. Only true measure is a prospective buyer trying one and deciding for themselves if they likes it or not.

Not getting better, but given that this is all coming from the same source (Autocar UK), not that surprising:

http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/anythinggoes/archive/2011/07/06/so-who-s-in-charge-at-audi-rs.aspx

http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/RoadTestsHistory/Audi-A3-RS3-(UK-drive)/258071/

That's Autocar, when it was first announced and they had their initial drive, it was a rave report, but given time , they can be negative about anything not made in the UK

i just got a call from Audi trying to get my interest on the car

said he's going through his list of RS and S owners

they said they've got 40 arriving at the end of the year (which I thought was pretty late in the game.  but we do have to wait in line and we are at the bottom of the world!) and %70 are spoken for.

I'm not really interested.  Want a newer RS4 or old RS6 in addition to the old B5.

although wanting and getting are sometimes a world away from each other!

sweet Jebuz!

"At 510 PS, the Audi RS3 does the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 3.5 seconds and can hit a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph)."

but it'll cost you an extra ?15.950

I am desperately hanging out for one of these to actually land in the country. Any idea on when they will actually make landfall?

Nice Increases but those wheels are on every bogan car here in Australia. Otherwise sounds like a rocket ship!
