Most of that sound recording is awful but the car sounds great when you can actually hear it. Lovely S-tronic burps on the gearshifts  :notworthy:. But a Milltek would be my first mod and possibly my only mod if I had one (doubtful).

Thanks for posting that vid, Alexander  :drinking:

Saw the RS3 yesterday at Geneva...just found myself walking straight past it.....dulllllllll! The engine on the other hand is a marvel! Would love to drive one, but the looks just don't attract me at all! Not to mention the fact that the A3 Sportback reminds me of an estate car anyway!

Please can someone buy a Rocco R, get that 2.5 engine and chuck it in the Rocco! Now that would be a machine!

I know what your saying pal, I said exactly the same thing when the 8P S3 came out and I had the 8L version, I said it doesn't look different enough I'd never buy one of those, 6 years and 2 mk5 GTI's later I bought one, I think it takes time :laugh:

From 23 seconds to 35 it sounds like it already has a Milltek.  :evilgrin:

....Glad to hear it looks dull - That means I'm less likely to want one.

I much prefer the Audi Avants (estate cars) to their saloons, so I much prefer the Sportback S3/RS3.

....There's already a far better machine - It's called the Audi TT-RS.

I quite like that it looks kinda plain Jane and I don't even like sportbacks! Avants are great though. I have to agree, TT-RS for me all day long.  :drool: IMO the scirocco doesn't come close to it.

It'll be interesting to hear what QD thinks of his TT-RS in comparison to his recent Rocco R  :popcornsoda:

hmm...very nice miltek vid there! showing some understeer on the tt-rs there though! lol

Post by: Snoopy on March 12, 2011, 02:39:49 pm
I would be more worried about the oversteer.

Post by: JPC on March 12, 2011, 02:49:08 pm
you wont have much problem handling oversteer in a tt-rs or RS3! lol

It sounds like the RS3 does not come with a sport button.  It sounded flat.  Also could not hear any 'burps' from the s-tronic.  

TTRS for me, at around the 1 minute mark, it really looked like an Avant, dont need 5 doors, and my left leg is just fine, so TTRS manual for me.

 :evilgrin: :evilgrin:  " coats of wax today.................
