7R or RS3

(1/6) > >>

Msportman:
Priced a new 7R with options then entered them onto Carwow
Best deal I got was a 13.1% saving including this months £500 loyalty discount (reduced from £1000)
Dealer contribution remains.

I opted a high spec car which adds up to nearly RS3 base price but with the discounts available it's now closer to £33k

Options are

3 door Oryx white
DSG
Tints
Tech Pack
Sunroof
Adaptive chassis
Prets
Winter pack

My dilemma is although the RS3 in base form is slightly more its depreciation is likely to be much slower than the R and I deliberating whether all of the extras would be a waste when the car is 3 to 4 years old. I see the previous Gen RS3 still commands £25 - £30k for nice examples.
The sound of the four pot is addictive. I've tried both but tbh the R is the sharper tool if slightly slower but nothing a good APR map should sort on the R.
Just worried about the residuals especially as there rumour of a facelift in the press.

Your thoughts

rich83:
RS3... no question

skard:
RS3, seemingly I see a different 7R everytime I go for a drive.

Adam0604:
I would defo be going for the RS3 as well

S2 Ant:
Guess it depends on how much you want it to be brand new really... up to 12 month old Golf R's are now high 20's which represents a pretty decent saving and they're all well spec'd from what i've seen so far.

Having owned an older Audi Quattro though, the 5 pots do sound much better than a 4 pot!
