Ye that extra bhp would have sweetened it. I will still get one, but i would like to test drive those super sports seats!

Son of a...i am goingto see if i can get my Audi guy to commit to saying that if the buckets do get released that they will supply them at a discounted rate or something, because I asked him and he said that they are unlikely to have them.

This has really pissed me off ....Q4?




I agree with you, If i cant have the bucket seats im going to hold off ordering until i can have them. Shouldn't have to do this though as they should have all options available at time of release .....If i remember right this happened with the Mk5 Golf R32. You couldn't spec them straight away then they were added a few months down the line.Sort it out Audi!!

Ye exactly its a joke as to why they they can let this stuff happen. The thing is i dont think i can hold off, i have been without a rs car for too long (2 months), cant wait till the end of summer to order up. But as you say you will get buckets out of it hopefully.

Could through a complete spanner in the works and go second hand RS6 as they are down to early £60's now!

I'd thought this too until I realised that there is no way I could fit one in my garage.  But I do have the world's smallest garage.  Stupid modern housebuilders.  RS3 will fit fine, as did my B7 RS4, but B8 RS4 certainly won't and RS6 would struggle to get up the drive let alone the garage!

 

And running costs.....

[Lee551247]

Yeah new garages are tiny! I think they expect you to get out and push your car in! 

 

I'm thinking though that the monthly payment will be a lot smaller on the RS3 as the residual will be higher with it being a brand new car as opposed to used. Also they seem to offer better interest rates on new vehicles as opposed to used so the RS6 may not be an option after all

I've had the pleasure of an RS6 best car ever driven so far it was the owner of the dealership I went too so nicely specced unfortunately they are a little out of my range at the moment one day 😢
I struggle to get my RS3 width ways in my garage so it's reserved for the bike only

I'm sure the parent of that child must be soooo proud..........

I've driven one too, completely agree with you, best car I have driven also! Think it's because it does everything so well! Must admit I would be stretching my budget to get into one that's one of the reasons I'm settling for the RS3 and with a bit of tuning it will be one hell of a car! Just annoying about the buckets!!

[SK-RS3]

Get on down to Robert dyers I reckon they will have buckets 😂
Seriously thou I think the RS3 is the all round car power, handling, space for family, easy to park when the mrs has to borrow it 😃 price isn't crazy if keep spec simply but nice

Just received this from Audi regarding my queries Emailed on Monday.....

 

Audi have many cars they will release in a year, but only one Geneva motor show, hence why cars are often previewed at the motor show such as the R8 E-tron. Luckily we now know that the RS3 is now open for ordering in the UK, and some great news is that I have answers to your main questions from Monday:

 

The answers are below:

 

1.At Geneva (customer was at the show) ceramic brakes were said to be an option – not contained in brochure Ceramic brakes start production later in the year (likely to be Q4)- once this is confirmed they will be added into the brochure

 

2.At Geneva bucket seats were said to be an option – not in the brochure Bucket seats also start production later in the year (likely to be Q4)- once this is confirmed they will be added into the brochure

 

3.At Geneva carbon dash inlays were said to be an option. May be introduced at a later date.

 

4.Customer asks why a carbon exterior styling package is made available for the RS6 and 7, but not this new RS3? This is currently not available from the factory – they may develop something for the future but no plans currently

 

5.Queries Nav not standard whereas it was standard on his current RS3… Unfortunately navigation is not standard, preparation for nav is, which allows the customer to have it retrofitted if they choose to want nav after they get the car

 

6.On the brochure the standard spec suggests that the colour DIS (trip computer) has a 7” colour display – which is incorrect. Apologies, this will be amended ASAP

 

 

So for those of you that want buckets and / or ceramics you may have to wait until at least Q4 2015 before ordering.

 

Top man Graeme this has now confirmed what I've been thinking and saying for days.

Those rear alloys, are they V spokes ?

I'm seriously thinking of asking for my deposit back, the way Audi UK have gone about this launch is shite.

Whatever they are, they look a lot better than the horrible rotor things.  I can't believe we get such a poor choice.

Nice white/grey paint job.  Looks like they managed to get half way through painting this one before the gloss ran out - more than can be said for the London launch car...

 

Yeah I'm seriously thinking of pulling out too.  Sales girl at Cambridge Audi not even acknowledging my emails now.  She is ex-BMW so maybe I shouldn't be surprised?  I'll probably still get an RS3 but am very tempted to just wait, get a better discount and drive a few to compare exhausts and mag dampers etc.  And see what the weird orange/red paint looks like in the flesh.  I really don't know how Audi could have handled this whole thing any worse...

On one side it is a v-spoke at the rear, on the other rear it is the S3 alloy wheel with rotors on the front. But in fairness that is a pre-production mule and not everything on it will make the options list on a production vehicle.

What bike do you have SK?

So the question begs if the V spokes fit why isn't Audi offering them...

Roy G - Currently I have a GSXR 1000 K5 I wanna add another to the collect but with the new RS3 and wedding next year could be a struggle

Perhaps they are trying only to offer an alloy unique to the RS3 like they have done for some previous S and RS models. It looks like the traditional Rotor but the design is subtley different
