   £40k still seems too much for a hatchback

   I like the 1M more. But I have to admit this car is also brilliant, I would just prefer the 1M I guess.

   @EricPisch yeah they’re all overpriced because they are all VAG cars just to much for a little hatchback ^^

   @thekiezer I know what you are saying, driver involvement, feel and all that old bollocks, but just because you are using the paddles doesn’t mean you lose that interaction. I have had all kinds of manual cars including stuff like the 911RS, and my current S3 is as much fun to drive as well as being very practical to drive every day. I can’t wait for the RS3 to arrive, just gutted mine wont be here until next year!

   @eddox94 automatic sucks!! you cannot rev and then pop the cluch and either drag race…driving an automatic is like driving a cart

    @scrokostas “RS 3 Sportback comes with a 7-speed S tronic gearbox” directly from audi.co.uk

    @BRUMTOWNTRU It’s a great car, and I personally would buy a new RS3 rather than a 2nd hand GTR. The RS3′s 5 cylinder engine sounds like a V10, and it performs almost as well as one too. It has great fuel economy (31mpg) and it’s very practical. But yeah, the extras can take the price to around £70,000. The GTR is a great car too though, no doubt about that. It attracts too many people though. The RS3 looks simple but stunning at the same time. They’re 2 completely different cars anyway.

    @SwiftHDX yes was talking about used cars you can buy a nice nearly new gtr for 50 grand and all the rs3 are now sold and are being re sold for 44 to 52 grand my mate at work has just got his rs3 for 51 grand with 3000 miles on it

    @SoooOOOoooOOOoooT S mode on the gearbox is a “sporty” automatic mode, it uses higher revs and hangs on the them for long, in reality you wont use S mode on the box apart from launch control at the lights the S button increases steering and throttle response but most importantly its turns on orgasmic noise mode

    By: EricPisch

    @dominoc5 its a bargain when you consider a similarly spec’d R golf or S3 is also 40k, oh and evo have tested them at 4.1 sec 0-60

    To all those people who think a manual is a true drivers car, name one form of any decent motorsport that still uses a manual. Manuals went out many years ago. Good autos have far surpassed any manual, they shift gears in a fraction of the time a manual can. Move with the times I think

    @BRUMTOWNTRU GTR = £72,000.

    @hunker8 Will be a while for any new normal A3s to be on the road (12-18 months at least with waiting times, etc). Even longer for Audi S3 (probably 3 years to order, 4 to receive it). And hunker8, don’t hold your breath for new RS3- it will likely be 5 years to drive one of them (that’s if they decide to make it- look what happened to the RS4 saloon- not being made!). Best to try and get the current RS3 or you’ll be waiting a while!

    @chrisubass its an S-tronic 7 speed, so auto for cruising through town, paddle shift for having fun, and with the double clutch I defy anyone to shift manually quicker than this car can.

    @seannjacob Motorsport is more concerned with laptimes. That is how they make money. People who prefer manual gearboxes are more concerned with enjoying the interaction with the machine.

    If I spent 40 to 50 grand on a car that what rs3′s are going for I would like it to look like a 50 grand car but it looks just like a s3 you can buy a gtr for 50 grand I no what I would buy

    There is nothing ordinary about demolishing 1M into pieces, as Audi always does vs BMW.

    You can’t price a hot hatch at £40,000

    By: afsartori

    @seannjacob For the same reason there are people today who still enjoy driving old cars. It has nothing to do with being better or worse, but rather being fun.

    @yepitsHugo29 if you want a real audi, you must buy it in Germany.. cars made in USA or for USA are rubbish.
