A few years ago a member on here, Oli, had that particular RS3 and its prop went bang after a couple days of ownership I think....while standard, no map IIRC. I believe that issue now gets sorted with uprated bolts.
Be no point getting a car with Launch Control and not being able to abuse use it. :innocent:

I'd love the new RS3 but out (way out) of my budget. :sad1:

I would go with the old rs3 over the 7r definitely.
the 7r is a great car and a little lighter and probs more fun in the twistys. but as somebody else mentioned (without sounding like a boring r32 owner going on about noise) the 5 pot sound is brilliant, when I drive my dads rs3 then get back in my ed30 with bcs mine sounds like a hairdryer compared to it :laugh:
the old rs3 really held its money well, I think the 7r will de value quite a lot as its just another 4pot turbo and theres plenty more of them to come :happy2: both great cars though.
