2016 Audi RS3

It sounds awesome! Sounded way better than the R8 I had a play with today.

182Trophy · Aug 23, 2016

There is one decatted that hammers it regularly through the village with the sound bouncing off the houses. In fairness they sound immense. I thought it had a hint of 6 cylinder about it, similar to a GT-R. Shame they are driven generally by idiots.

They do sound awesome....but better than a V8/V10 R8? No.

They sound miles better than the old muted V8/V10 R8's.

The new V10 sounds ok but is still far too quiet!

It's neither here nor there for me. It's not a great drivers car, and in comparison to a RR it's not a great daily.

Why not a great daily? Its got 5 doors and a boot?

The R8 doesn't have a great sound at all. Especially the V8. The V10 was maginally better but it's supposed to be a more reserved supercar is it not? I want noise. Aston noise.

In comparison to a RR, it's not. As said. And misread by the Scottish. Evidently.

Ferrari noise, Aston looks and Audi reliability = something I'd buy

Surely it has the noise as they rev quite high don't they? Just take the silencers and sound deadening out?

I love coming in here to see another mans world ending dilemma over a car i lust most and a f**king Range Rover Sport.

It makes me feel extra f**king poor.

Who knew one mans unhealthy interest in pigs having sex would make him such a wealthy lad.

I certainly missed a trick whilst I spent time on farms as a nipper.

Well it clearly doesn't work for everyone. IIRC @Danny_172 has had his fair share of sex with pigs, and he doesn't own an RS3

You forgot the Aston looks as well...

My car has more of an Aston Martin front end!

My favourite AM is the Vantage with the "Quattro" logo on the front grille...

I mean't over a R8 V8/V10

Waitey · Sep 7, 2016

Hit a piece of wood on the M-way. Needs the front and back bumpers painting now.

Also due its first service and inspection. Joy.

Still fast as f**k like though.

There's Two of these RS3's that live close to me, i'am pretty sure they have the 'Sports Exhaust', sounds like all hell is breaking lose when one or both go for a 'hoon' sounds ace!

R8 V10 sounds alot better. Who you trying to kid.

The standard previous gen R8 V10 (not the plus model) was one of the most disappointing sounding cars I've driven.

The plus model was a lot better and the current gen sound good but only at the top end when you get the V10 wail.

Martin. · Sep 8, 2016

You can't get an Evoque!!

Absolute tarts car!

Unreliable sacks of s**t as well, i know somebody with one. It has broken down and been in the garage to sort issues so many times it's almost funny now.

Yes, I thought it'd be like the Gallardo. It wasn't. It was dull in fact.

I don't see why people get such a stiffy over the sound of a V8. I'd take a five pot turbo soundtrack over most V8s or V10s.

We all have different tastes.

Nowt wrong with an old Escort. There's a lot wrong with that old Escort I admit, but not with old Escorts generally lol.

182Trophy · Sep 13, 2016

I'm not a massive v8 lover either, unless it revs over 8k. Georg plasa's judd v8 was imo one of the best sounding v8's ever. Massive induction then screaming like a v10 f1 car. My idea of motoring heaven.
The rs3 with straight through does sound awesome. Prefer 6cylinder though.

It's not the sound. It's the feel.

I think that would have to be judged on a case by case basis though. Two engines of the same configuration can be very different.

Waitey · Sep 14, 2016

Up to 17500 miles and no one wants to service it.

JCT600 Audi are useless.

The Chubby Pirate · Sep 14, 2016

Why does no one want to service it? Unless it has a service pack specific to Audi, take it to any VAT approved Audi specialist.

No one answered the service desk at two dealers after calling 4 times. The one dealer I did get through to couldn't give me a price!

JCT600 have just emailed me saying it'll be £371 for an oil change and to look at it! f**k that.

The Chubby Pirate · Sep 14, 2016

Aye it'd be straight to a specalist for me. 'RS' tax is a f**king joke.

Just got a price of £165 for the service and inspection from a local specialist. Audi are investigating it as proper parts may not be used... The only actual part used in the service is an oil filter lol
