Went for a spin in my Blobeye Yesterday (first time in a while) on the way home came across a Audi RS3 had a little play and it could shift but the thing that got me was the noise it made it sounded lovely. I looked at prices when I got home and **** me they are expensive but in reality it's probably only one of a few cars I would trade the Scooby in for.

 

Was it the new model?

 

I think so it was on a private plate, the noise was lovely not heard one like that before Rob.

 

For those prices, I'd expect it to sound good. Better cars for the money though mate

 

This is very interesting to me. I'm always looking for something good to drive; maybe the site should have some kind of threads like:

Best car around 10k
Best car around 15k

etc

I would love to hear the opinions of folks that are especially into cars. Imagine the debate / discussion (until it got heated...).

 

Nice car, lovely sound, but yet to find one in the flesh that isn't a glary colour! I also think the Merc A something class AMG sounds good too



I agree, I think I looked at the RS variations when they were first released, and spending £30k ~ £60k just isn't practical for me. I'm nervous about having more than £15k in a car, less so now as I live in a better area with ample off road parking, but those young lads that park on a busy main road


Do a search mate, I think they already have, but they wont be sticky posts.

Hi Rob,
Apologies, but I clicked those links and got the message:

"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

I will give it a go manually though.

Thx,
Rob

 

Audi Rs3 is a great car with right mods it can be very fast car

 

I haven't seen a A45 AMG in the flesh yet just loads of M1's down my way but an AMG in general sounds lovely.

 

I had abit of a play the other day with what looked like in my rear view mirror a Mercedes diesel. I opened mine up on the dual carriage way and it was gaining on me quite a lot. After it passed I did a reg check, e63 s amg 585bhp version standard. That was a big surprise haha

 

the amg 63 is a nice car but so many merc models look the same i want some thing that looks different , audis have reliability issues not good reviews plus i knew an audi mechanic he was not praising of the brand , the positive side nice interiors

 

I had a play with a A45 amg ; it sounded like a fart can. He drove like a **** too!

 

a quick car lacking any soul scooby for me

 

Agree (x2).

 

Bit of a marmite colour but I love mine

 

I'd have one....maybe. Problem for me which applies to the Golf R as well is they're everywhere. Every man and their dug has one.

 

One roared away from me the other day as I was walking along the pavement, I'd actually hung around to listen to it, was left feeling very disappointed.

It sounded dreadful, just a loud but characterless and monotonous engine note (think Dyson vacuum)... interrupted by an entirely fake and naff sounding fart on every up shift.

drone... fart, drone... fart, drooone... fart.

 

I'm more than sure that's the same colour as the one I saw the other day lol.

 

I was considering a MY15/16 RS6.
Read a recent thread about a RS6 losing a valve, costing £30k for a new engine from Audi. But not really many more threads reliability woes....!
Been down the EJ257 Still route with failure...MY10 GT-R tuned to 610php was flawless & was looking for the same of the RS6!!

Quite like the Nardo Grey paint

 

Lucky you the GTR is my dream car would love to drive one and own one if only I wasn't married and had kids lol. Did like the RS3 though may even look at a RS4 or RS6 not new though can't afford that lol.

 

LOL Matt, Thats not even a RS3

S3 Saloon by the looks of it, as the RS3 saloon hasn't been released yet!!

 

How come you dont post the video of the Golf R doing you??

 

ok ok I'll post the RS3 defeat

 

Thats more like it Matt,

Looked a quick car that RS3, 11,6 did he do?? I wonder what sort of mods he was running!!!

 

I usually ask my "opponents" their power levels but never got around to asking him.

I raced loads of Audis this time, Newage Scoobs and Evos are rare at the strip now. This guy in the S5 guessed his power between 405-470, most running have had road maps so can only guess

 

Probably stage 2....370-400bhp ish. It's the way they put the power down, and the dsg box. 0-60 & 0-100 are ridiculous. Plus easy to launch where as the Scooby etc takes a bit more effort.

 

Thats the thing with a lot of these hot hatches nowadays, a remap can add 100bhp with out having to mess with anything else, where as the Subaru you would have to change/spend so much money to get that extra 100bhp.
