[Tornado]

can you get it in brown

 

[Dennisch]

Generic German.

 

[mustafur]

Is it really that heavy that's insane.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Love the Audi I5 but it's a pity it's in such an uninteresting hatchback. Meh.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Driven by those sorts of VAG tossers who's heads you can just about see poking above the window line driving at 90mph everywhere and usually 3 inches off your back bumper and only slowed down to curb crawl outside nightclubs to stare at women.

I'd rather walk barefeet in the snow than be seen in one of these. SU.

Is it really that heavy that's insane.

Yeah, was thinking that too. 90kg lighter than a GT-R.

 

[Stephan]

No hatchback model? SU.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Not quite SU, since it's just another anonymous modern Audi. It blends in enough that you almost wouldn't even notice it, except that it is only ever found in the wild in two states: five feet from your bumper, or weaving through traffic without a single indicator flash.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Can I just say I love the Quattro outline on the grille? Nice touch.

 

[7up747]

Kinda like it. Yes it's generic but i'll give it very low cool.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Fast, formidable, AWD competence, turbo-5 and sports car worrying performance. Just the way I like it.

Cool.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Oh dear god that is an incredibly handsome car. Probably the best looking small family car out there right now, other than maybe the Golf R. Pains me to say it's uncool.

 

[JC_Dude]

No hatchback model? SU.

<insert not sure if serious meme>

It only comes as a hatchback (also sedan after the facelift.

Anyway, it's not cool. People who drive cars like this are usually tossers, which is a shame, because the cars themselves are amazing.

 

[Michelin Man]

Meh, never really jelled with the RS3, or the A3 as whole for that matter.
This RS3 is not particular pretty, or that special IMO.

Only thing that saves it being uncool, is that lovely Turbo'ed 5 cylinder under the bonnet

Is it really that heavy that's insane.

Had to have a double take myself, quite mad to think a "standard hatchback" like that could be so heavy .

 

[Mike Rotch]

Yes, the I5 sounds incredible but AUD$100,000 for an A3?

 

[Northstar]

Yes, the I5 sounds incredible but AUD$100,000 for an A3?

It's so executives can brag that they drive a 6-figure car.

 

[UltimateYosh]

It's like most Audis these days.

Boring.

Yes, the fact that it has 5 cylinders instead of 4 is nice (I can only think of one other Hot Hatchback with more than 4 cylinders off the top of my head) but I think it just looks so generic and they just need to spice up the design a bit more.

Uncool.

I'm talking about this:

If the RS3 had that version available then I could change it from SU to meh.

 

[MisterWaffles]

Another wagon, another cool.

 

[axletramp]

Just another Golf platform with a Euroblob on the top. Uncool.

 

[Sting]

Too many doors.
Uncool.

 

[SPhilli911]

Any Audi with an RS badge is cool to me, I don't care how douchey and rich you have to be to own one.

 

[VXR]

The only interesting point has to be explained; the engine. Not cool at all.
