Hi guys,

Will post a thread in the for sale section very soon!

Very nice indeed. :notworthy:

Very nice. Is it a BE??

Thanks
Nope, just has the Black optics package. Would of loved the piano black roof though.

Ahh, I had Black Optics on my last one but this time around it made sense to go with the BE as it offers better value.
The roof is a very expensive bit of black trim I can assure you!! :signLOL:
I toiled over having the roof or not for ages and then went hunting for cars with it to make the comparison.
-
Black edition wasn't available at the time I dont think. It was purchased used and so many little things are missing; interior light pack (i dont even have map reading lights!) and auto dimming mirrors etc.
I did miss out on a great Ibis SB with buckets and piano black roof, still annoys me to this day!
-
What sort of figures are you getting with those mods?

Gotta say that the Sportback is my favourite of the S3 range.
Will a Sportback RS-S3 with S-tronic come out one day, I wonder?

My fingers are crossed with yours. If they make it i can't see any other car being better for the rest of my life :drool:
Awesome car mate. Love the sport back!

Mornin' Jules :happy2:
Yep, I considered the Sportback along with the Mk5 GTI back in 2005 but the GTI, although not the prettiest of cars being a hatchback, had more presence/charisma (for my taste) and a bit more load headroom in the back.
A future test-drive of a RS-S3 would have to involve me stopping off at home to see if my music gear would fit in the back. The RS performance and hopefully sound would be difficult to resist. Yes, I'd love a Cayman S or a TT-RS but need the Golf/Sportback practicality.
My fingers are crossed with yours.
....That doesn't quite sound right, Jules!

stealth tastic, I bet you surprise a few folk with how quick it is :congrats:
looks gorge on 19' BBS :happy2:

It doesn't does it :signLOL:
What about a few hundred pound Volvo estate for the gear and a TT-RS :evilgrin:

Was running around 360bhp & 365 lbs.
Cheers for the nice comments again! And yeah I like the sleeper look.

Looks lovely that pal :drool: :drool: :drool:

Love it, BBS look great against the white :happy2:

Definitely a white s3 sb for me next. This one did it for me .

....WOW!! That looks stunning. MTM modified so stance is much improved over oem.
RS3 anyone?
-
Are you from Glasgow mate? saw this car twice last week. Once on the road between Hillington and Pollock the other was going into an underground car park behind the holiday inn just off Renfrew st? :happy2:

The RS3 is only going to be offered as a Sportback which I'm very annoyed about as I don't like having more doors than I need.

The last I heard the RS3 wasn't even on the cards anymore....

....If that's the case there's a part of me which is also very annoyed because I might want one!!
Until Audi make an official announcement we can only speculate.

They have, more or less. It's existence has been confirmed. 2700 units, all in annoying 'more-door' Sportback form. Such a waste.
Pricing is expected to be Golf R +£10k

....So, do you have a web link to an official source please?
-
in the last few days, I read an article that the starting price would be around £45k. they simulated a Full spec using S3 costings, and a full spec was well over £50k.
I will see if I can find it in my history.
-
.
I'd definitely want fairly full spec: S-tronic, Recaro's (if not standard option), full black glass roof like Stu's, and then a Milltek just to enjoy the zorst music. Otherwise I wouldn't find it worthwhile (even if I did manage to afford it).

Hey Guys!
just thought I'd let you all know they are releasing the RS3!! :pomppomp: My manager went to an Audi Forum convention and the RS3 wass there! It's only in s Sportback version with S-Tronic or Manual! Apparently he said that it looks just like an S3 Sportback... They Didn't give it the Exhausts on either side eithe just the normal Zaust it has now! Also has slightly wider arches!!
Also the Q3 coming soon, too :happy2:!!
taken 4 pre orders this week for the RS3 already!!
