Part 4 - love the ending with the rising exhaust note. Oh, the speedo and rev counter ain't moving though.

Is it just me or does the guy driving it through the tunnel, look bored? They could of at least made it look like the car will put a smile on your face!! Think I will stick with my Megane R26 for now, at least now I know the Audi designed drives a Clio V6 as a daily wink

Remember to tell us what you think.

Nothing in it's class matches it for sound imho.

Mustang V8, ok, it's not a 5 door hatch (no bad thing!)

That's the spirit - who needs a 362 bhp hatch anyway ? Surely a nice sensible 1.6 diesel would do the job

Don't get Audi....i fell out of love with them after the seminal Audi swb Quattro of the '80's.

What followed was a series of bath tubs and now a car manufacturer positioning itself as the maker of grrrr aggrrrroo steroid cars.....full circle from their TAXI advert. for those of you who might not have seen it:

I think this rs3 would appeal to the lad...anyone know where he lives??

What's with all the Audi RS3 advertisements on here?

All the adverts at the bottom and down the sides are all Audi RS3.

"Promoted content" aka social media marketing campaign.
Audi pays PH to bombard us with RS3 ads in hopes of making the understeer go away, PH rakes in mad cash in the process.

Maybe we should change restless to relentless?

I don't mind the odd advert and understand the site needs to make money, but the RS3 content is a little much.

Just another fcensoredg irritating advert for another fcensoredg product that I will never fcensoredg actually want, but at least it slows down page loading speeds enough to make me sometimes give up trying to get to what I want to look at and go and watch the telly instead.mad

So works well at putting people off altogether, but that doesn't really help the cause does it?

Still I hope PH do well out of it, because as my comments may have suggested it really fcensoreding pcensoreds me off!ranting

Shame as I really like PH otherwise...but I don't want to wait for fcensoredg adverts on my fcensoredg superslow ste BT broadband, and I have no choice over that as Virgin haven't installed any cables in my "rural backwater" just outside the gates of the Royal Military College and a mile or so from Camberley!

P.S. I don't, and never will, want any fcensoredg Audi - just to avoid any doubt!

Another comment on the 480p. Stopped watching as soon as it could be shown in any decent resolution.

Drove it this morning, pic to follow. Have to say I absolutely loved it! Mental quick and sounds hilarious! For the majority of us it would be an awesome day to day car.

I'm sure the majoirty would if they actually drove it instead of slating it.

Glad you enjoyed it! Looking forward to the Pic.

Like the car, but a marmite colour in this instance. Wouldn't be my personal choice!

Looks better with black pack and black wheels imho as below:



Car itself was stunning, I'm slightly cloud9 with it.

Agreed, that looks better, but still wouldn't be my choice if I was ordering one (which I won't be - can't afford). I will be looking at these on the 2nd hand market when some depreciation kicks in, although, even the old model has held it's money, so these won't be cheap anytime soon either.
