Audi RS3 is SO fast, but where’s the fun?
by JonQ on Jun.26, 2011, under News
One third of all UK Audi sales are from the A3, so it’s no surprise that there’s been much anticipation for this ultimate edition, the 335bhp Audi RS3 Sportback. Even at £40k. It is blindingly quick, and can grip in a way that is hard to elucidate verbally.
I filmed the interior with my phone to give you all a tour as this is probably the last time we’ll all get close to this car again. All 500 units coming to the UK are sold. As you can see, the cabin remains beautifully appointed, if a little bit long in the tooth these days.
I can confirm the DSG gearbox is brilliant. In ‘S’ mode, the transmission intuitively recognises what gear you want and shifts cogs effortlessly quickly, so there’s absolutely no let up. It’s the relentless acceleration that I found most impressive with this car.
Trouble is, four-wheel drive can often anaesthetise the driving enjoyment and although the Audi RS3 is, I repeat, devastatingly quick (seriously, I just don’t know what could beat it on a B-road) you may find yourself having more fun in something else. As long as you’re also cool with that meaning you won’t be the fastest.
