RE: Audi RS Q3 | Driven

[Kenny Powers]

Not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal, and anything with a boosted 400hp 5-pot is worthy of serious consideration.

I like the colour.

But it’s lost the one other thing I liked from the original RS Q3........ a single side exhaust. It was nice to see something vaguely sporting with a single sider.

This is a proper Audi side exhaust

I like this, how quickly will they drop to around £35k?

I want the black edition of this in black very badly. To me it's the nicest looking of all the performance SUVs.

Also, side point but when are Pistonheads going to get over it with these? 0-60 in 4.5s and a chassis that could very likely destroy a supercar from 10 to 15 years ago round your average British Race track (driven by the same person). Not everyone gets to drive McLarens and SVR edition Ranges guys. I would get to any normal car buyer these are staggering.

I think I would be fking terrified in one of these, or any performance SUV. Think I would just be too scared that it was going to fall over

Hahaha that's utterly brilliant. A normal height car would have just slid rather than rolled. Cant change the laws of physics even with some trick electronics. What a bell*nd!

[crashley]

I am oddly intrigued by these and can see it being a serious contender to replace my RS6.

Around two years old

At least Audi are starting to make their SUV's look better IMO and more SUV like.

Hated the old Q3.

When did petrol particulate filters become a thing?
Do they have the same problems as diesel particulate filters?

Good if you live in Gloucester and meet a huge round cheese coming the other way after being rolled down a hill.

5 pot, ground clearance, 4wd. Its basically a group b rally car you can carry 5 in

I rally like it, wonder if the drive train can handle the APR package you can get for the TTRS?

Exactly. I'm at odds to think why people want an extra foot or so height in the middle just so they can seemingly enjoy 'sitting up high'. Its not like you're gaining much interior space.

Odd so many people want these silly cars.

I think the APR package is connected to the PCP

Absolute boll*cks, with those delicate alloys, expensive body kit and low profile tyres you'd easily damage it if you ran over so much as a pebble. And how would you explain that to your lease company?

Still can't get used to the poor bonnet shut line look on all these new Audis.

I know it's meant to be there, but it looks terrible to me.
