This looks like an absolute bargain compared to the Golf R!

If you specced up a Golf R to the same as this You'd be spending almost the same amount and you'd still have the 6 speed DSG and a 2.0TFSI. Then you'd have to get it to stage 2+ for the same turn of speed.

I'm in awe

who will lend me  £40,000 why bigger tyres on the front surely that can't be right
When you getting one John

Stock TTRS with s-tronic did a 12.2 1/4 mile!

You will love it.

Just been out in mine for the last 5 hours having fun in the snow!

RS 3  has to be best car out there at the minute 

[vRS Carl]

That is an absolute Bargain and I can't think of a option I would want that isn't on there.

Me needs to start being nice to the wife for the next 4 Months

[T88OMM]

Does seem very good value compared to the R, go for it John the engine is an absolute peach 

[MAT ED30]

So have you gone for the bucket seats then ?

[vRStu]

Looks like they've got most things covered. To be honest apart from the RS3 specific items it's pretty similar to the current base spec of the S3.

[MAT ED30]

Think I would be gutted if I had just stumped up the ££££ for a new s3 as this thing is going to look meaner on the road and sound so much better than a 4 pot

[vRS Carl]

Depends what you want from a car.

The only appeal over the S3 is the extra power really. Also an S3 is a good few £k cheaper (depending on spec) so it will be down to what people can afford as well.

[joesgti]

good price that, maybe next year when im a shareholder.  

John, you made me smile, just read through the list and was like 'hurdy will change that, hurdy will change that, hurdy will change that'  

[vRStu]

Think I would be gutted if I had just stumped up the ££££ for a new s3 as this thing is going to look meaner on the road and sound so much better than a 4 pot

There's quite a difference between the price of the two. A little like being gutted you just bought a GTi when actually you could have bought the R.

I'm certainly not gutted, I couldn't have afforded the extra. Sure, I'd like the RS3 but I have other priorities.
