Have to agree, it sounds phenomenal!

I've just messed up my pants!

ahhh, dont worry folks.... perhaps by the time we get the next iteration of the rs3 onto our shores, instead of being a HATCH BACK that weighs 1610 kgs (according to the uk site), we might hopefully see a juicier model with reversing, cornering and roof cameras, ipad integrated into the dash, bluetooth / wifi / social media buttons on the dashboard, 21 airbags, etc etc etc.... maybe we'll get lucky and get an rs3 "hot hatch" that weighs 1710 kgs next time around, lol.

i ufcking hate the thing. it's a lowered audi q3, with all the mod-cons that you dont give a crap about, whatsoever, when you're driving up over reefton spur, that i've read is so brutally fast and exquisitely engineered that you take your foot off the stop button, press the start button, and you're so well insulated from the kind of sensations that go with driving for fun, you could be doing 150km/h when it really only feels like you're doing 60....

i'd take a renaultsport twingo over this thing, anyday (unless i was allowed to sell it, in which case i would, and get a clio with an rs250 engine conversion. sorted).
