Default Picked up this beauty 2018 Nardo Grey RS3

Picked up this beauty last Friday up here in Canada! It had only 11,000 km on it, I traded in my 2018 Daytona Grey S3 and got an incredible deal. I am blown away how much better the ride and car is in general, especially hearing that 5 cylinder warble. I will be holding on to this incredible car for some time.

So jelly! I mean that in the nicest way possible. But everyone is saying the rs3 rides so much better than the s3. It makes me wonder why exactly.

I am not thrilled with the suspension and ride quality on the s3 and i knew it when i test drove it but i bought it anyway even though i could barely afford it. Im still working up the nerve (and disposable income) to go down to 18s with all season tires and hopeful that will help a lot.

Big congratulations to you all the same!

Thanks guys! When I bought the S3 I never drove the RS as I didn't want the temptation. Around a month after buying the S3 all I was doing was building an RS on the Audi website and looking online for used ones. I should have really skipped the S3 and saved some money. During the latest Audi sales event I drove an S5 Coupe and Sportback as well as an S4. All felt so big and floaty compared to the S3, drove the RS and I was sold within 2 min. I could have bought a larger Audi but the RS3 in Nardo is my #1 choice. I've had an older A4 and S4 that were same size. I'm 5'9" and this car fits me perfectly.

I have a lot of back roads minutes from my house and I've spent a lot of time flying around tight corners and blasting through country roads.. this car is absolutely perfect.

Heh, could not agree more. I think the RS3 is the perfect size, A4/S4 and A5/S5/RS5 are all too big, plus no DSG transmission on those (at least not the RS5). Plus the RS3 makes all the happy engine noises even when you're tooling around at 30mph
