Funny. I was looking at some RS3's this weekend online. Not that I would really go buy one but I think I'd really enjoy one.

Welcome back. Your wallet will thank you from less repairs/maintenance that the Audi will warrant...
They come with warranties just like every other car... Something tells me this guy doesn't keep cars long enough to run out the warranty nor does he probably have an issue with spending money for upkeep.

I was kicking around the idea of the RS3 while looking for my Shelby. Had it been available, I would have likely gotten one but it was not so I went with the Shelby.

My wife has an A7 which I love thus the thought on the RS3. Very happy with the Shelby though. No regrets at all.

The RS3 is a quick car. I bet its quicker than a stock 5.0

I saw a comparison where it would smoke the Focus RS, it would leave a bigger gap than a 5.0 would. Now I wonder how it would do on the top end?

Anyways welcome back! I hope to get a mustang again for DD. this time I'm doing long tube headers, hard to beat a v8 with its power torque and sound!

I read 4.1 or so 0-60 so yes, might beat a stock 5.0 in a stoplight race. Quattro makes a big difference getting off the line quickly.

However, $60K for a 3 series Audi is a pile of cash, regardless of power level.

The 5 cyl exhaust note is interesting but the sound clips I've seen/heard seem to include a good bit of "manufactured" crackles & pops.....hard to beat the sound of a good V8.

Trading in a car after a week? Let alone a RS3? I'd love to see the negative equity on that, my God.

Welcome back.

Mustang is much more fun as a daily driver and I saved $27,000 this was a no brainer after driving both. :headbonk:

It's a car to drive if you like high revving engines and the styling was cool, but as a daily, I don't think they tuned it for daily driving to be honest. It's like granny and then turns into super car then granny

Trading for a 17' or 18' Mustang?
I got a 17 and very very happy with it. Much more comfortable than the audi also. I heard the 18 will be nice, so I may test drive one, but I'm content.

U go through cars like clothing. U must have lost your @ss on all the trades. But if u r happy then congrats
Sort of yea I have changed cars alot, but I told myself, I'm gonna stick with what I have for a few years now and focus on business affairs. I can have plenty of fun with the mustang.

Instead of a review on the Mustang (which as you've said has already been done), do one in comparison to the RS3. Everyone likes to know how their cars compare to others ... assuming you owned the RS3 long enough lol.

Will do. I'll compare it to the Lambo, RS3, and past corvette c7 I had.
