Don't think 6 year olds can buy an RS3 yet as that's who he seems to be targeting as audience, passed the local demo the other day, sound and styling spot on.

So that was before Recall and stopping of Demo runs then. Bet they are very quiet now!

Hope they get a satisfactory fix soon.

Were you ever young once.

He's established a successful business at 23,is obviously enthusiastic about cars , enjoys to the full what he does and gives some degree of pleasure for nought.

I rest my case.

Have a good weekend.

I'm looking forward to Monkey Harris thrapping (is that a real word?) the RS3 and the facelift A45 (claimed to be even quicker than the RS3) around. I know, I know , I know, they are only his opinions, nothing matters unless you drive it yourself, etc etc, etc.....but it will still entertain me and as it will be a decent video production, we should get to hear the sounds of the vehicles reasonably reproduced Actually the A45 might be more of a challenge to the RS3 than I thought it would be, at least according to the press, as it has an improved gearbox (ratios and software) a mechanical locking front differential and adjustable dampers. Perhaps it might have some ride quality at last? I watched a standard GLA A45 playing silly beggars with a Seat Leon Cupra of some sort last night (Motorway) and the way it left the Seat in the high speed drag race they were involved in, was quite impressive (in a none approved way of course)

Lady Elanore,

You would hope so for about £18,000 -£20,000 more & an extra 80 BHP of the A45 GLA AMG.  (200 kg plus more weight in the Merc though unladen)

Or the Mercedes Driver might feel a bit short changed.

May be the best is yet to come, with proper development work carried out and no oil uses at launch :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mo0TuvoL4M

Well you never know with it being so easy to chip/tune up a turbo car and it not be apparent and as you say the Merc is a lot heavier, especially dragging around the extra 4x4 stuff that was only dead weight in the exercise they were performing. I don't think the average GLA driver really thinks of the Seat as an alternative, it's more of an A45 type rival (at a much lower price point of course)

Obviously I'm holding out that the M2 will be the pinnacle of this round of silly small cars. perhaps not as powerful, but it could be more playful?  One thing is for certain, we have never had it so good, or fast.

[Ootohere]

Maybe there are Average Mercedes A45 AMG owners that would consider a Seat as a second car though.

Maybe even were out playing with them last night.

 

Stranger things happen, 

i think i heard of a BMW M135i owner that considered and bought a Suzuki. Amazeballs.

Actually she considered a Panda Cross too

The Fiat would have been only be 2 steps removed from a Ferrari. 5 or 6 from a Suzuki.

Ferrari - Alfa Romeo - Fiat.

It's got a Fiat engine :p

[Lady Elanore]

Does anyone know if there will be a RS3 saloon?

[Ootohere]

You said that in another thread.

I though i should checked with someone that knows. 

It has an engine Suzuki buy from fiat and put in a Suzuki.  

It is now your Engine in a Suzuki.

 

PS

Yes Audi know if there will be a RS3 Saloon.

I do not think they are telling any of us yet.

Saloon is just a rumour at mo but they should as it will sell well if done properly

[Lady Elanore]

Strictly speaking, it must be my engine in my car. But Back OT, I have a photoshopped image in my mind of what the RS3 Saloon would look like and it's fab

I love the proportions of the A3 saloon and would be very happy with an RS version if   a) I could afford it and it was fun to drive probably a bit out of my price range though I reckon :(

Thought the detailing on the M135i was for life - as it was an arm and a leg £

it's for the life of the PCP or until I decide I want a change (you didn't really think this was the last car I would ever buy?). An M2 would definitely tempt me if I hadn't splurged so much money this year. Btw the Modesta is some product. I don't suppose it looks much different to the Gtecniq, but hopefully it will last longer and retain it's wonderful reflective properties for at least 3 years.

I would think a RS3 Saloon will not look much different from this.

Just a bit less obvious in Grey Metallic and de-badged.

Very nice, but they need to sort out that huge extra cooling vent

I wouldn't say no to either the sportback or saloon. My requirements are for daily use car that is capable in all weathers puts the quick 4wd cars near top of my list. I don't track my cars so the fun element isn't essential as public road use limits that anyway.
