How much smaller is this than a 5 door impreza hatch?
Looks a likely contender for us if we can get on with the auto and they drop in price a bit over then next year.
I doubt a manual S3 sportback would seem that much slower in the real world.
the s3, r32, and R are on a different planet, and its slow lonely one Looks a likely contender for us if we can get on with the auto and they drop in price a bit over then next year.

Lack of a proper gearbox, too heavy, 4wd, fewer cylinders, dull looks, etc. All imo of course.
Everyone has rights to an opinion!I have owned a S3 for 3 years and love it. RS is on order and for me 5 doors, extra power, 4wd, few toys as standard makes it ideal for my life at the moment. Mpg is ok for the 10k miles i do a year and i actually like its understated looks, its the sound that makes me smile although 40k was a bit painful!

Another cock-mobile from the guys at Audi. Simply a car for people to wave their penis's about saying "my car is as quick as a Ferrari."
Really? Good cars I know, great engineering. But I don't need to be persistently told.
Apart from the S3, I've always found the A3 not too bad looking inside and out, but incredibly boring and common, with a lot of drivers giving them a bad rep. The sportback makes it look ugly. Now apply that to the RS3, with the plain twin exhausts making it look like another 2.0 TDI, I think this is a fantastic idea and a fantastic sleeper. I've seen two of these in the flesh and it makes you want to laugh at how unassuming they look for the power underneath. I'd have one :-)

haha I wish, I don't have a car any more, living in London I don't need one.However on a serious note, all of the requirements stated in this guys post can be found in an M3 saloon not far from new under warranty. Hence my lack of understanding of your excellent comment ;-)
p.s thanks for highlighting my out of date profile

40K steep, yes, very, but lets face it, most of us, even if we wanted one and could afford it, wont really get a look in as they are all spoken for.
And yes, there are plenty of other cars available for the price (new or sh), however, if someone wants to spend that amount on an Audi then why not?
Some will say its mad to spend that on a 1M.
Horses for courses etc.
