Is anyone else sick of logging on to any car website and seeing a "promoted" Audi RS3 advert with pre conceived videos full of cringe worthy "isn't this car Great"

I would like to buy one after my M135i, but it's starting to put me off!

Yes, it's complete bull crap.

Audi have produced some brilliant/hilarious promo vids over the years but the RS3 ones are just s**t. That they're shoved up your arse on every 'enthusiast' website is plain annoying.

Indeed. Audis these days have all been whacked with a big boring stick. Couple that with a distinct downgrade in quality, the only people who buy them are those with rose-tinted glasses who "still believe", and reps who have no choice.

Fffing hell, it's still everywhere, we're on part 4 now FFS.

And no doubt Typing or searching for RS3 hasn't helped my case!

I completed a survey on here yesterday/day before thinking I would have the chance to provide some honest feedback about the adverts...turned out to just be a thinly veiled RS3 advert as well!!

The stupid thing is, i want to like audis. I just can't.

Theyve done some cracking stuff too. I remember the first tt i saw in the flesh. The shape, the interior, it just looked special. I think of the r8 in non metallic grey i saw in traffic a while back and how very, very cool it looked. I even think back to the old rally days, the quattros, the coolness of them and i almost, ALMOST want one again.

Then i look in my mirror and nine times out of ten all i can see is a white, poverty spec diseasel with some irate tit sat too close, often on their phone, ruining the brand.

I tell you one thing for certain, they've made it much easier to own a bmw again.

Read all this and my heart sank. Am also prejudiced against the brand since the rise of the White lease wagon with optional wraparound sunglasses but was trying to convince myself that a dark coloured A6 V6 Avant Q would be a good family barge.

Last one I had was an A3 130 Quattro new back in 2002. Great everyday and all weather commuting hack but thought the dealers were idiots.

Hopefully if I do it, I can sneak under the radar and not be noticed!smile
