Mooste they call it a "sportback" because the word wagon doesn't sound as attractive to the American market. Let's be honest, it's an RS3 Avant plain and simple.

i dAILY A C63 and my girl daily drives a new s3. I must say the s3 well..there really isnt anything else like it available. An awd sedan with good power and plenty of tuning potential and the most important fact..its fucking nimble!!! I have seen APR tuned stage 2+ S3's running some insane numbers faster than a new GTR !! It's almost the perfect car for someone looking for a nimble sedan with awd and its rear isnt all that small pretty spacious. Way more so than anything else available. Lets not forget the tech it comes with either the rolling wifi and auto navigation between phone and car. Lots of fantastic points. Nothing like it out there even bmw doesn't have something that nimble in sedan form. I mean what a car! So i can only imagine what the rs3 will bring. Iam def test driving one asap !! I just ordered a stage 2 APR kit for her car too......heheh....she doesnt know......im going to scare the shit out of her. Get it put on before she gets abck fromher trip and not tell her...hehehehe everyone keep your mouths shut hhe:)

From what I can remember, no, the speakers did not rattle. My brother and I have been in a lot of Audi's (with the B&O Audio) and it hasn't really been a problem we've seen. Either the bass is really, really turned up or it could just be a defective system. Personally, I'd take it back to the dealer and see if they could try and get it fixed. Hope that helps!

My 2016 S3 is terrible in the snow and that's with 4 brand new winter tires. I too the car in to be tested the service department could not reenact the issue.

Magnus Nylander if I'm not mistaken the car automatically goes into comfort mode when idle on park unless setup otherwise which he hasn't...would have loved to hear it I'm dynamic mode because apparently the US rs3 sounds less poppy and crackly than the eu one which if true, would be sad. I hope someone gives us a dynamic revving with the sport exhaust so we can see if that's true about the US version
@SweBun7 жыл бұрын
Yeah that's correct. Audis cars does that for some lame reason. I think they've done changes do the exhaust note some how. It sounds less poppy than the last gen RS3 here in EU as well. They've removed the pops and a more deep rumbly sound. I kinda like it to be honest.
