Not overly, the CLA45AMG is more my style, but for similar money the RS3 has better performance numbers.

You dont know anyone that works at Audi do you ;)

No timeframe, so I can definitely wait for the right car...

Edit: Just looked up the A35..... Yet another hot hatch de-hatchified for north america... The RS3 sportback is another one sadly stuck on the other side of the pond... :(

Well... Its official. As of Friday I put down a deposit on a new car.

I went for the Audi RS3. I really wanted to get it with an "Audi Exclusive" custom colour, but they aren't allowing that program on the 19's, and with a rumor that the RS3 won't be available in 2020 due to an A3 redesign (takes a couple years for the RS versions to get released after a redesign), I decided to settle for one of the normal colours. The car is still in production, so I should be taking delivery in July sometime.

I will be posting up my STI for sale soon, but if anyone is interested in the meantime, feel free to hit me up (no part out requests yet please).

As with most members here that have moved on from Subaru's I'll still hang out here and probably make a build thread in the non Subaru projects forum. And I'll still distribute plate frames at least until I run out.

Congratulations!  There was an RS3 at the last autox and I thought it was a great sounding car.

Thanks! Was it a blue one? Probably was Tom. He's on here too, he used to autox a GTR.

The sound was definitely a huge factor in my decision. They sound so awesome... And 400 HP...

Yes, you're right.  I think it was Tom.  And now that I'm looking through, I didn't post a picture of him :O

Yep. Yep. We linked up with Tom at 10secdream's this past weekend as well, love that thing. Needed to fold down the seats to fit two tires lol.

I just want to say I had zero interest in Audi’s until I saw Tom race his last year. He makes that car look so fun.
I don't name things I know I'm going to sell eventually. Hence why I'd never name any kids I had.

I also had 0 interest in Audi's until I saw this one online while comparing cars. Nothing else comes close in terms of performance for price point.

Only a Miata guy would call P235/40R18 large tires  ;D

Touché, I mean I do know a guy that run P345s square on his GTR. Those are what I would consider large tires lol. I kind of doubt I could even squeeze 1 of those in my trunk.

Did you get one with square stance tires, or the one with the wider front tires?

I still cannot get over that.
