So, anyone been in an RS3 for a period of time yet and got any feedback ?
one of the guys at work went for a spin in it (passenger and driver)
"damning insane! he drove up to mount vic from newtown, via the alexandra road.
he was pushing it way past the 130km mark, and I almost had to tell him to stop;
it was bat s**t crazy. car handled superbly though, not a twitch, and he didn't use
the breaks as hard as I would have. the front tires are wider than the back, so
it just eats the road. and the sound is spectacular, a real deep growl that barks
when it changes gears.
they only have one demo in wellington, and it's already pre-sold. if he said he'd
sell me a demo for 80-90k, I would have signed the dotted line right there and then;
that's how amazing it was! the BMW M1 is probably the funner car to drive, if you
can drive and have a suitable road or track nearby. the RS 3 seems like the better
'every day' option, especially on NZ roads.
he's gonna send me some price options now, but I can't see myself buying a new
car, and then having to wait 6 months for it.
but who knows! "
