RS3 Announced

[Poverty]

oh deary me, no no no

would never pay £40,000 for a hatch back and i don't care how fast it is. plus to only offer it as a sport back is an epic fail. those sport back A3's look terror imo, basically a snub nose estate.

would much rather the 1M like someone else said and have a much better car in the process!

You have driven both already 

Im down to test drive the 1m as soon as it launches, cant wait

haha no not driven either! but id never buy a £40,000, terror looking hatch back...EVER! plus by all accounts the 1M is glorious to drive and looks the part too, specially with those CSL style alloys = win!

Chris Harris certainly likes it..

Those wheels definitely have Vauxhall levels of tackiness!

Those wheels are standard Black Edition wheels and also an 18" verson of the current TTS wheel.

Sorry, I was referring to the red rimmed version.

I can guarantee every single all weather shorts wearing drug dealer from Cheetham hill has already got his name on the list for this one.

That 1M im sure will be alot more then Audi'd Rs3.

1 series isnt exactly a good looker. I hope the test car looks better when its finished going by that video.

@strat

Your not a family man yet i guess  .

I think the 5 door looks really good.

Im guessing Audi have gone by the decision that maybe the 3 door s3 version wont be as popular with the TTRS available.

Im no BMW fan tbh, i wouldnt want a BMW on my drive, id rather own an Audi.

Thats me being honest, cus i cant afford either.

[RedRobin]

Right, enough seat talk! Back to bullying Red into buying one of these.....

DO IT.

....My very good BIALI friend Dan (suddenly now an ex friend!) has just done this Photoshop. I didn't think I'd introduced him to you, Mike, when we briefly met at GTI Inters... Barsturds!! I smell a conspiracy.



I think it would look better without the RACINGLINE.COM strips though.

haha noooo not family man. wouldnt mind them offering a 5 door for those that wanted it, but keeping it solely as a 5 door for no real reason when the 3 door shell is right there seems ridiculous. largely as the 5 door A3 does look like a bus as someone else said. but hey if it floats your boat then take a dip! :)

contrary to you though, i am a bmw fan and yes although the 1 series isn't known for its looks, i think the 1M will look suitably aggresive and purposeful and would rather have that than the A3 which looks dreary at best. some may well disagree though, as is the way of things!

40k for an a3, not for me ta! maybe in 5 years when there about 10k! 

for 40k you can have a r35 gtr!

[Greeners]

The looks and styling do nothing for me..............

Although £40k is a lot of monies, the main reason it is not for me is the Gearbox and body restrictions.

I would only have a 3dr manual.  The 3dr would be lighter and able to exploit the donkey it is fullest, also manual is for me.  The DSG/S-tronic would be great in traffic, I just prefer the Manual, and would spend the cash on some bucket seats, and tyres.

I also think the stance in the flesh will be nothing like the pictures, somewhat higher in the flesh.......

If the 1M looks anything like this..




and judging by the teaser shots, it will..



Then I shall be featuring on the next installment of Crimewatch doing over my local Nationwide Building Society..
