I do, I was considering one to replace my S4, but I dithered about too long and now the new version is out they look a bit dated.
Great 5 cylinder engine sounds good and can be tuned for more power.
Unfortunately they also seem to be pretty hated by many because SUV and being an Audi you will just understeer off the road and die
Even the section for them on RS246 is deader than a dead thing because they can't possibily be an RS because SUV.
Still want one really.

Good but weird (and slightly unloved).
By any objective metric a newer S3 for the same money is a better car.
They're effectively based on the old old A3 (2003) so feel dated in some areas.
They're too quiet for a 5 cylinder RS car. And not fast enough for an RS car. And they don't really look like an RS car.
They ride and steer nicely, though. The extra wheel travel benefits it hugely compared to a crashy RS3.
It's a little bit of a parts-bin bitza.
